The Rising Start Difference…

We at The Rising Start Foundation Seek To Be Your “Holistic Bridge” between school life and adulthood.  From early middle school all the way through adulthood our students and young adults will receive the academic, therapeutic, workforce readiness and life and social skills support necessary to transition into a life of rewarding employment and fulfilling personal and professional relationships.  Our students and young adults will experience an unusual level of continuity and connectedness during their school and young adult lives in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.

All of our Programs benefit fromt two Critical Components Contributing To The Effectiveness and Successful Outcomes For Our Students & Young Adults In The  Rising Start Programs.  They are:

A) Our Proprietary and Custom Designed Instructional Approach and Teaching Materials Developed Over The Last 10 Years By Our Founder & Executive Director Maria Alejandra Mejia, M.A.,BCBA, and: 

B) The Systematic Application Of Evidenced Based Behavioral Interventions (ABA) To Facilitate Learning and Personal Development

Our Teaching Team, Led By Maria, Work Closely With Each Student & Young Adult Applying Appropriate Behavioral Guidance and Interventions While Delivering The Academic And Workforce Readiness Content Of Our Programs.
