Please fill this form out carefully. If you send us a doll, it will be customized based on the data entered here and A Step Ahead Prosthetics will not be responsible for any incorrect customizations based on erroneous data. The request must be made only by the parent of a child with limb loss. Thank you.
A Step Ahead received a lot of attention because of the American Girl® dolls we customize for kids with limb loss! Since so many people have been asking, we figured we should post a few details. We are NOT charging for the customization; we feel that it is crucial to boost the self-confidence, self-esteem, and feelings of inclusion of children with limb loss and that something as small as a doll resembling them can have a profound effect on their mental and physical well-being. In that spirit, anyone with a child who has had or is facing an amputation is welcome to send us an American Girl® doll which we will happily modify with a prosthetic limb (or limbs) to match the child. The prosthetics themselves are entirely designed and fabricated in our shop alongside the “real” prosthetics and are painted by hand in various colors.

Please note that due to our heavy patient workload and the volume of requests we are getting, our policy is to only offer customized dolls to children who have faced or are facing limb loss in order to aid in the strengthening of their foundation and self-confidence during their early developmental years.
