Words from Our Community
"My Son goes to NSTC and has flourished since first beginning the program. They keep him engaged, active, and challenged to learn new vocational and social skills everyday. He loves the program and program staff. The best program for our handi-capable population I've seen over the past thirty years in the bay area. "
"My son has attended Next Step Transition Center for quite some time now, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this program. From day one, the staff has treated him with kindness, patience, and genuine love. They don’t just provide supervision—they invest in each individual’s growth, independence, and happiness.
The difference we’ve seen in our son has been incredible. He has gained confidence, developed new vocational and life skills, formed meaningful friendships, and looks forward to going every single day. Seeing him excited to walk through their doors each morning gives us complete peace of mind as parents.
The staff consistently goes above and beyond to create engaging activities, community experiences, and opportunities that help every participant thrive. It’s obvious they truly care about each person they serve and celebrate every success, big or small.
Finding quality services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be challenging, but Next Step Transition Center has exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful to have found a place where our son is valued, encouraged, and loved. Without question, I would highly recommend NSTC to any family looking for a program that genuinely changes lives. They have been an incredible blessing to our family. "
"My brother goes here and absolutely loves it! We wait for the calendar to come out each month and he picks out what activities and day trips he wants to go to (sometimes 5 days a week). The staff is excellent and I am extremely grateful it is close to home. We couldn't be happier with their program"
"My daughter attends Next Steps, and she loves it! When I pick her up at the end of the day she wants my reassurance that she can go back "tomorrow". They have great staff and activities!"
"My son attends and LOVES it! They keep them engaged and active in the community 100/10 stars! The staff is caring, patient, and considerate and I am eternally grateful for this program. They are an asset to any community."
"My son has attended Next Step since it started. He enjoys the friendships, the community outings, and the life skills they teach every day. The Next Step staff truly care about all of the individuals in their program. Safety and security are a top priority in everything they do.
