Testimonials
“RISE has been a godsend for our son. He has found a sense of belonging and a place to grow that he never experienced in the school system. The care the RISE team takes in planning his day and addressing his individual needs is outstanding. They take his transition into adulthood seriously and we are so grateful for their support and expertise. The variety of activities that build independence skills, the thoughtfulness that goes into the planning of daily schedules, the individualized attention to each participant’s needs and the high level of communication we have with the staff. And also the careful planning and coordination with our DDA case manager. We feel heard and part of the team.”
— Monica Sanjur, Parent
“It's a supportive, safe space for young adults to thrive and achieve life skills, encouraging the group in community activities to foster a sense of belonging. Qualified staff that display Patience, empathy, with the ability to build trusting relationships, Grateful that RISE even exists with the lack of appropriate settings/programs. It's a sigh of relief.”

“We are so grateful to have found this program. Our daughter is engaged all day long and is always excited to leave the house in the morning to go to RISE. We are so relieved that this program exists now that she has aged out of school.”
