Life Stage Transitions Programming Packages
RISE Summer Bridge (Transitioning to outdoors and community)
RISE
offers NET style summer bridge programming - bridging your child's ABA into fun
summer activities while the weather is warm. These programs help to facilitate
getting your child out into the community and out into the great outdoors. In these programs, your child will learn
about the topic and then have an opportunity to practice what they have
learned. Many of these programs are embedded in RISE ABA Summer
Camp. Bridge programming topics can
include:
·
Community
Gardening
ABA
targets are on learning mini-skills and responsibilities related to gardening,
and for proper care for a pallet garden that is ultimately created.
·
Community
Outing
ABA
target categories are on initiating communication, responding to communication,
interacting in public, compromising or conflict resolution, following community
directions, clean up and transition, managing problem behaviors in public,
various community skills (like shopping, ordering food, waiting in line, etc),
and community safety (road crossing, stranger awareness, awareness of
environmental hazards, etc.).
·
Bike Riding
& Bike Safety
ABA
targets are on community safety when going on a bike ride, asking permission,
leaving a note about our route, mapping our route and staying in those
boundaries, stranger danger while out in the public, and how to care for our
bike, and how to dress properly for the weather and event.
·
Fishing
ABA
targets are on learning to complete the full forward chain to the task of
fishing and we eventually practice it with real fishing! Learning this
skill creates a leisure or fun activity that your child will know and be able
to use to interact with other people in their life, such as you or friends!
·
RISE Hoops
ABA
targets are on imitation of some basketball moves, such as bouncing, catching,
dribbling, standing behind the line, and shooting. Targets also include follow
directions, take turns, and sportsmanship in a game of HORSE presented in a
positive behavioral way (to earn a letter for doing the skill versus missing
the skill as the game is originally designed).
·
Picnic Table
Chess
ABA
targets are in prompt and response in intraverbals in a chess exchange,
sportsmanship, turn-taking, and match-to-sample skills that are inherent in
navigating chess.
·
Outdoor
Science Explore
We
explore topics that take us into the great outdoors on science focused
activities. ABA targets are in following 2 and 3 sequence instructions,
prompt and response in intraverbal exchanges, math skills, small and large
motor skills, outdoor boundaries, and my turn - your turn in collaborating with
a group. Activity examples in this program may include, for example,
going on a scavenger hunt for flower types and then looking at our prizes under
a microscope or pressing and displaying them. We may create a habitat for
frogs and learn about frogs and caring for live beings. We may learn
about how the sun changes as the day goes by and go out and trace and measure
our shadow at various times of the day. Etc.
·
Sportsmanship
and Group Rules
Your
child has joined a sport or community activity and needs help to integrate into
the group and activity. ABA targets are on displaying good sportsmanship,
accepting losing or failing, turn-taking, understanding and following the group
or activity rules, understanding the activity in general. In this program
we work with your child during his/her actual group sport activity on these
important social skills.
·
Thin the
Reinforcement
This program is to help your child do a gym type or large motor activity independently. For example, maybe your child would like to learn now to play catch. In this program we work on the discrete component of the ball toss, individualizing the activity to whatever level your child can perform at. The program is to thin the reinforcement schedule on a fixed schedule to bring your child to independence at the activity. This is a great program for any large motor activity!

entry. This program is delivered in

RISE-FT (family training)
Delivery Format
Family Training is conducted primarily in a tele format, sometimes
in person and optimally on a weekly basis.
Family Training is always conducted with the family present. Although the family may bring guests with
them to the meeting who they feel may collaterally benefit from the information,
family training is always directed to and advising only the family.
Curriculum
RISE
family training and consult is unique and interactive, designed to link ABA
concepts to specific patient programming, and to train parents in practical ABA
techniques they can apply in real life.

RISE Family Centric (intensive family training)
RISE Family Centric is
intensive family training of 10 hours or more per week and is delivered fully
via tele-therapy. This program has
been used in and is beneficial in instances such as:
·
Very remote locations
that are difficult or impossible to staff.
·
Sites where
safety reasons prevent direct staff from servicing onsite.
·
Cases that
are in "step-down" care, where the patient has accomplished goals and
transfer is appropriate.
·
Cases where
the family prefers to not have staff in their home, cannot attend clinic, and
would like to learn ABA for themselves so they can know how to benefit their
own child.
This program
would typically run 2 hours per day, with the first hour resembling RISE-FT.
In the second or remainder hours, the family is performing the role that
a behavior technician would be typically delivering. The parent is directly delivering the patient
programming under the guidance and supervision of an ABA supervisor who is present
in tele-format.
