Overview of Children’s Services
Child Habilitation Intervention
Child Habilitation Intervention is about helping children with IDD develop functional skills for everyday life, at home and in the community. Through hands-on activities, children can practice communication, self-help, and socialization skills in real-world settings. Trained professionals work alongside families to encourage progress at each child’s own pace.
Community Based Support for Children
At RISE Services, Inc. Idaho, we offer Community Based Support services, focusing on meaningful inclusion and participation in daily activities. These supports extend beyond the home, providing opportunities for children to connect with peers, navigate new environments, and experience community life. Through recreation and socialization activities, children have the chance to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships.
Rising Stars
Rising Stars is a school readiness program for children ages three to six with developmental, behavioral, or functional needs. In a classroom-like setting, children receive personalized support while having fun with peers through group projects, games, and creative activities. After an initial assessment, families and staff collaborate to set individual goals, with regular updates as children grow, gain confidence, and develop the skills needed for school.
