Stephanie
High School Student
Stephanie started at Giant Steps in 2009. She loves to bowl, swing, and visit the vending machines! She also enjoys laughing and listening to music, especially The Beatles. Stephanie is fun to dance with; she recently learned the Cha Cha Slide in her dance group over the summer at Giant Steps. She started creating great friendships with her peers and teachers. During her time at Giant Steps, Stephanie has become more social and learned to advocate for herself and her needs. She has blossomed in social situations with her peers and staff, and she seems to be more comfortable every day here at Giant Steps.
