NextStep takes pride in our mission to ensure an improved quality-of-life and a continuum of care for the paralysis population. Our activity-based therapies are proven to lead to functional recovery, more independence, and opportunities in the community.

Employment is an important next step towards independence but for many it comes with fear of losing vital state and federal benefits such as Medicaid and long-term caregiving. We are happy to share a helpful resource for the NextStep community to approach disability employment with confidence and to not feel alone as a navigate employment.
