Next Step Clubhouse

Next Step Clubhouse (NSC) is modeled after The Exceptional Foundation in Birmingham Alabama and opened in September 2016, providing social and recreational programs for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer full day and day program options, 4 days per week. During the school year our participants are generally adults who have completed high school. Additional programing for school aged children includes our 10-week Summer Camp.
