‘What’s Cooking in Westland’ and ‘What’s Cooking in the D’ programs: This program educates participants on a variety of healthy lifestyle topics, including proper eating habits, food prep and clean up. Individuals participate in the program daily to learn culinary skills and healthy eating habits.

Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC): In January 2022, STEP launched Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC), an art and design studio and exhibitions program for artists with developmental disabilities and/or mental health concerns. PASC is dedicated to supporting disabled artists to advance independent artistic practices and build individual career paths in the art and design fields. PASC creates opportunities for hard and soft skill development, income, and employment and is staffed by professional artists and curators.

STEP Thrift Store and Donation Centers: Beginning in June 2007, this community-based business enterprise began as an opportunity to train and employ individuals with developmental and mental disabilities. Our Thrift Store and Donation Centers are located in Dearborn Heights, Southgate and City of Wayne.
