On July 31, 2024, Step by Step Early Intervention Society merged with the Cause and Effect Foundation. The two organizations have long held common values, providing excellence in early intervention services for children with special needs and their families.

Cause and Effect has provided programming for children receiving Program Unit Funding (PUF) and Mild Moderate (MM) funding for 30 years. Step by Step’s commitment to a family-centred approach, program model, and shared passion for serving children was a natural fit. Step by Step and Cause and Effect will partner to continue providing exceptional programs for exceptional children.

Gowling WLG advised Step by Step Early Intervention Society with a team that included Frank Sur and Andrew Wong.
