Next™ removes uncertainty from the transition skills development process.

Unlike other transition skills programs, Next™ provides an uncomplicated, yet structured method for involving all members of a student's IEP team, including parents, in identifying the student's strengths, transition needs and priorities. Next™ provides tools to involve students in the process of identifying their wants and interests, which motivates them to participate and succeed at a higher level.

The Next process is intuitive and user friendly. It begins with a simple survey – assessment designed to encourage, and ensure, everyone's involvement in the goal-setting process.
