American Girl® Doll Customization
A Step Ahead Prosthetics has received significant attention for the American Girl® dolls we customize for children with limb loss. Since many people have inquired, we want to share a few key details.
We do not charge for these customizations because we believe in the importance of representation and inclusion. Having a doll that reflects their own experience can be meaningful for children with limb differences, helping to build confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging.
Any child who has experienced or is facing limb loss is welcome to send us an American Girl® doll, which we will modify to include a prosthetic limb (or limbs) that reflects their own. Each prosthetic piece is designed and fabricated in our workshop—just like real prosthetics—and carefully hand-painted in a variety of colors.

If you are interested in a custom doll for a child, please fill out the form to the right.
Please Note: Due to the high volume of requests and our commitment to patient care, we can only offer customized dolls to children who have experienced or are preparing for limb loss. Our goal is to support them in their early developmental years by providing a doll that fosters confidence and representation.
Thank you for your support in making this initiative possible.
