RISE Community Quest
RISE events are for children ages 8-12 with intellectual and developmental disabilities; no prior group experience necessary. Registration for each event closes the Sunday before the event at 6:00 pm.
RISE is a play- and experience-based, structured program where children explore confidence, friendships, and early independence in a safe and supportive environment. Sessions run 90 minutes. Participation is encouraged, not forced.
Step into a fun, hands-on simulated community! In Community Quest, participants practice independence, communication, and safety while completing pretend community tasks, like ordering at a café, waiting in line, and following directions. Children rotate through stations that mimic real-world situations, building confidence and social awareness. Snack and reflection time focuses on “What helps me in the community?,” reinforcing problem-solving, turn-taking, and self-advocacy in a safe, supportive environment.
