Hi, I’m Laney, founder of Next Step Life Skills MS. With a background in behavior analysis and experience supporting individuals with diverse learning and developmental needs, I’m passionate about helping adolescents and young adults with developmental disabilities build practical skills that increase independence, confidence, and overall quality of life.

I created Next Step Life Skills MS because I saw a need for individualized support that goes beyond traditional services. My approach focuses on meeting each person where they are, building on strengths, and creating realistic, meaningful goals that support success in everyday life.

I believe progress happens best through supportive relationships, individualized strategies, and celebrating small steps that lead to long-term growth. My goal is to empower individuals and families with tools that foster independence and create meaningful change.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m committed to providing compassionate, practical guidance tailored to your unique needs.
