ABOUT US

Next Right Steps is an innovative, family-centered coaching and therapeutic practice. Our team is passionate about helping families build the tools that create lasting independence across all stages of life.
MEET ANN AND BONNIE
 
Ann Tuemler (also known as Dr. T) is an occupational therapist passionate about cultivating independent life skills in her clients. Bonnie Klopach is a social worker and educator focused on the critical role the family unit plays in the process. As a team, they are experts at finding achievable solutions that create a lasting impact for the client and his/her family.
 
Ann and Bonnie have over 30 years of experience in the school system working with students facing a wide-array of challenges, ranging from learning disabilities to emotional distress to autism-spectrum disorder. They also have personal experience, each raising children who are intelligent and strong-willed. No matter what challenge your child or family is facing, chances are Ann and Bonnie have experience with it.
WHAT WE DO
 
Is your family being impacted by developmental, behavioral, or emotional challenges? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to stick? Next Right Steps can help. It has been our mission to coach and guide families in crisis. We will work with your family to develop a plan, help you execute it, and provide ongoing support. We come to you when you need it most, both in-person and through Telehealth platforms.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
 
The current medical model provides too narrow of a perspective. We believe in taking a multi-disciplinary approach toward our positive coaching strategies. This allows us to consider the whole person and the whole family unit as we develop our solutions. We believe firmly in providing the tools and resources that allow the individuals and the families to learn how to thrive independently.

Drawing inspiration from the story of “The Blind Men and the Elephant,” our logo is a reminder of that philosophy.
