WELCOME TO THE RISE CENTER

RISE was started in 1974 to enrich the lives of infants and preschoolers – both traditional learners and children with varying abilities.  Through early intervention and early childhood preschool services, children at RISE are equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in an inclusive school setting.  Children at RISE receive music therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy in a classroom setting.  Our team of nurses provide medical services to children in need throughout the day.  The program includes seven classrooms led by highly qualified early childhood education teachers that embed individual therapy goals into daily developmentally appropriate activities.  RISE is housed in a state-of-the-art early childhood education facility on the campus of The University of Alabama that is unparalleled in design and accommodations to meet the needs of all children.  RISE is a part of the College of Human Environmental Sciences and provides opportunities for University students to experience evidence-based research practices in the field of early childhood education and early childhood special education.  RISE Center currently serves close to 100 children and their families.
