Education is only one of the important aspects of personal growth; the other most essential part of personal development is their independence. Beating all of the obstacles that seem to work against us can seem to be overwhelming and impossible at times, but once you do, having that sense of freedom is an awesome feeling. Self sufficiency isn't something that is easily earned; it is a gradual process; even at the age of 23, I am still a work in progress.  For the past couple of weeks, I have written about the many services that NRS offers; I want to touch on a few today that I feel will open the doors of independence to clients and will help them to soar to unimaginable heights. I also want to share the hopes and dreams I have, and the kind of mentor I aspire to become.  Driver's education classes are something that we are hoping to provide in the future; they will be made available to all clients, and will teach them important on the road knowledge such as, how to ch...

While the building of a solid life foundation is important, it is only the beginning of a transformational journey. The next phase of the NRS process, is for us as a team to work together with you and your family by taking part in your educational experience and helping you to create a life transition plan that is made to fit your specific needs and goals.  At Next Right Steps, we strive to make every phase of your life as positive and stress free as we can; as consultants, we provide IEP support, transition plan development and/or review, and recommendations for supportive aids and services that utilize the Universal Design for Learning approach, which works to decrease the barriers of learning by encouraging inclusionary activities in the classroom; college support meetings are also provided to clients that wish to further their education. We have services for just about anything! As a part of the process, we want to provide as much guidance as we can; we provide...

Next Right Steps™ is a program that solely focuses on working with people who have disabilities by helping them to transition into adulthood and achieve their goals; what makes us so unique from other occupational therapy programs is that we work together with you and your family to bring out the abilities one might have in spite of their disability. We offer services that benefit both the parent and the child while covering all the stages of an individual's life journey.  Last week, I gave only a glimpse of what we as coaches, mentors, and consultants do at  Next Right Steps™. Moving forward, I hope to go into a little more detail about a particular few services we offer, with each week being focused on a different cluster of  services; this week, I have chosen to write about our shared interests groups for children,  our caregiver/parent coaching and support system, and the teaching of social emotional coping skills that a person of any age who faces the re...
