Newspaper article touts benefits of First Steps to families

A recent article in the Herald-Bulletin newspaper told the story of the Bradford family of Anderson and their how their 2-year-old son Brantley benefitted from First Steps when his family noticed his progress in speech was delayed.

Lexy Bradford told the Herald-Bulletin that she was referred to First Steps by her son’s doctor.

“My son needed First Steps for speech,” Bradford said. “He was just a little bit delayed.”

Bradford started with the program when her son, Brantley, was 15 months old in April 2021.

“He was only making sounds for words… now he is talking in four or five-word sentences,” Bradford said.
