The Roots of RISE
RISE didn’t happen overnight. This project is the result of years of collaborative research and curiosity. Our Principal Investigators (PIs) have constructed and produced an abundance of psychological research related to learning differences, neurodivergence, and ADHD-centered interventions.
Funded by the US Department of Education, RISE is a partnership between

Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
