Initial Meeting

An initial consultation is a complete review of documents and a detailed interview with an ARISE clinician. An individualized comprehensive Plan of Action is developed which could include future assessments and evaluations, school/work meetings, specialized ABA-based treatment at home and/or other settings, parent teaching/consultation and follow-up and accountability services.

Evaluations

ARISE provides comprehensive evaluations in the areas of Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and other areas of ABA. Written reports emphasize learning strengths and challenges and provide detailed recommendations. Feedback and follow-up are built into the evaluation process to ensure the findings and recommendations are understood, useful, and effective in developing a long-term action plan. Our goal at ARISE is to disseminate the principles of ABA to support the generalization process for our clients.

Staff Training And Professional Consultation

Upon request, we provide professional development workshops and consultation on an ongoing basis. We specialize in the development of behavioral, educational and accommodation (IEP, 504) plans. We develop systems for accountability, and ensure active participation by students, parents, teachers, and other professionals to maximize success for our clients.
