Our Mission
Established in 2015, The Next Step Programs (TNS) was founded with a clear purpose: to bridge the gap between high school and adulthood for young adults with disabilities. We believe that every individual, regardless of ability, deserves the opportunity to live a full, engaged, and meaningful life.
At TNS, we don’t just support individuals—we challenge limitations, break down barriers, and redefine possibilities. By working alongside families, businesses, and local organizations, we are building a future where young adults with disabilities are not just included but are leaders, contributors, and valued members of society.
As a qualified Medicaid Waiver Provider under Pennsylvania’s Office of Developmental Programs, we are proud to offer state-approved, person-centered services that empower individuals to reach their goals. Our work is rooted in the belief that with the right support, every person can take the next step toward independence, confidence, and success.
Together, we are creating a world where disabilities don’t define potential—opportunities do
TNS is recognized as a qualified waiver provider by PA’s Office of Developmental Programs.

By working together, we can create a world where everyone has the chance to achieve their full potential and live a fulfilling life.
