Testimonials
We believe caregivers are the experts on their child, so positive feedback from them is the highest compliment.
"You cannot find two better therapists to help your kiddo reach new heights. We thank our lucky stars that Aliza and Nicole are in our life. They’ve shown unique determination in helping our son—embracing new technologies, modalities, and ways of motivating him—with incredible outcomes. Having done intensives with Rise and other clinics, I can say removing the stress of travel creates more space for progress. Working locally helps you focus on the therapy and your child. We have complete confidence in Rise to push our son while embracing him where he is. They are the best, and we recommend them from the bottom of our hearts."

"From the very first session, Aliza and Nicole, at RISE, made our child feel welcome, supported, and safe. We were amazed watching our daughter’s confidence grow, and after three intensives, the progress we’ve seen is incredible. Aliza and Nicole believe in our daughter and love her as if she was their own. They know how to push her to reach her potential, while balancing empathy and compassion.
Words cannot describe how life changing Aliza and Nicole have been for our family. They have given us hope and shown us that our daughter is capable of so much more than we ever knew. RISE is truly a special, one of a kind place."

“Rise is unmatched. Aliza and Nicole are dedicated therapists who put their all into every child they treat. Aliza and Nicole not only push each child to do their best and find their confidence, but they get to know each child's interests. Rise truly "rises" to every occasion and knows how to push children, while making both the child and parent feel comfortable.
Not only did these dedicated women help my child achieve multiple goals in one intensive alone, but they truly became an integral part of our lives during the intensive, and after. They check in on our child's progress consistently. After two intensives and counting, the things that our child has achieved absolutely amaze us, and we CANNOT wait to see what else the future holds for our girl. We know that with the help of Rise, our child will rise up beyond our wildest dreams.”

“I can’t say enjoy good things about Nicole and Aliza. Usually you get great service but not great skills or great skills but not good service. These two blow both out of the water. Their thoughtfulness, compassion, and love for what they do shows in everything. They take the time to listen and hear whats important to us. They support my daughter in everything. Their skill and knowledge is outstanding and their care of families is spectacular.”

“We are beyond grateful for Rise and DMI therapy. Nicole and Aliza aren’t just skilled — they’re dedicated, always learning, and constantly striving to help their kiddos reach new milestones.
Our daughter has completed two intensives with them, and each time she has broken through a plateau in her gross motor skills. It’s one thing to find a therapist… it’s another to find therapists who truly understand neurodiversity, who are patient, compassionate, and bring all the qualities that make a lasting difference.
Thank you, Nicole and Aliza — you have given our daughter so much more than movement.”
