Our Story
Founded by a parent who’s been where you are.
When my son was diagnosed with autism at 20 months, we were told to start therapy right away. What followed were years of 30-hour therapy weeks, first at home and then in a clinic. It was hard, and it worked: in 2021 he started kindergarten alongside his sister, with no extra support.
Seeing so many children wait months for the care they needed, I started Arise to help families get high-quality ABA as quickly as possible.

"I am so happy with the level of care and support my son receives from his whole team. He is nonverbal, but has started shouting 'yayyy' every time we pull into the parking lot. He enjoys it so much!"
