Our Team

Stephanie is a life-long resident of Hamilton, NJ. She is the mother of two young adults with Down Syndrome and complex medical needs, John and Sara. She has been an advocate for over twenty-five years consistently working to improve healthcare, education and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. Most recently, she spearheaded and managed the CHOP NJ Transition to Adult Comprehensive Care program (NJ TACC). This program was created specifically to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in NJ with the complexities of transitioning vital medical, community and support services into adulthood.  

In 2010, she founded Valuable Partners, LLC, a consulting firm working to educate healthcare professionals, patients and families on the practice of patient and family-centered care partnerships to enhance care coordination and improve outcomes for complex patients. In 2022, she created the Valuable Partners: Advanced Learning Program and Skill building (ALPS) that encourages all community members to reach their highest potential in inclusive, educational and social settings.
