NJ Steps to Success is an approved provider with the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). We offer person-centered, community-based activities designed to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in building independence, confidence, and meaningful connections within their communities.
Our approach focuses on the individual — their goals, strengths, interests, and support needs — while promoting dignity, choice, and self-determination. Our DDD-approved activities are available to eligible adults (21+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are enrolled in New Jersey DDD services. Supports are tailored to individuals with varying levels of need and acuity, and are delivered in community and home-based settings.
We work collaboratively with individuals, families, care managers, and support coordinators to ensure services align with each person’s Individualized Service Plan (ISP).
Community Inclusion activities support individuals in becoming active, engaged members of their communities. These activities encourage social connection, confidence, and participation in meaningful experiences.
Examples include:
Behavior Management activities provide individualized strategies to support emotional regulation and positive behaviors. These activities are designed to help individuals better understand and manage their responses to everyday situations.
Support may include:
All Behavior Management activities are delivered in accordance with DDD guidelines and coordinated with the individual’s care team.
In addition to our DDD services, NJ Steps to Success offers Life Coaching to support individuals in building confidence, improving daily routines, strengthening social skills, and working toward meaningful personal goals.
Our coaching focuses on practical strategies for everyday life, personal development, and increased independence.
We are committed to helping each individual grow at their own pace through structured support, meaningful activities, and consistent guidance that promotes independence and confidence in daily life.
