RISE Transition Academy is a post-secondary program aimed at supporting young adults (ages 18-21) during their transition into adulthood. Students attend based on a PPT decision and the program is individually created. Experience and instruction focus on independent living, continuing education, employment, community awareness, and self-advocacy skills
