Empowering Children Through RISE Pediatric Therapy
Families with children facing social, emotional, and developmental challenges find renewed hope and invaluable support at RISE Pediatric Therapy.
RISE, which stands for Reaching Individuals Socially and Emotionally, is not just a name but a mission.
Founded by Roberta McCall, a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, RISE is dedicated to unlocking the potential in every child. Roberta’s compassion and dedication shine through her work, offering a lifeline to families and children striving for a brighter future.
The Journey Behind RISE Pediatric Therapy
In 2014, Roberta, her husband Dave, and their two sons, Ryan and William, made the life-changing decision to move from Massachusetts to Marco Island, Florida, filled with dreams and excitement. Little did they know that this journey would lead to the creation of RISE Pediatric Therapy.
The family’s experiences, especially their support for their autistic son William, shaped Roberta’s mission. The invaluable guidance from professionals in both Massachusetts and Florida helped them navigate the complexities of autism. Roberta fondly recalls the pivotal roles occupational therapists, speech therapists, and educators played in William’s development. These experiences laid the foundation for her desire to offer the same support and hope to other families.
Inspired by Personal Experience and Professional Growth
Roberta’s journey wasn’t just professional—it was deeply personal. Motivated by her son’s challenges, she immersed herself in workshops, engaged with experts, and researched the latest in Pediatric Occupational Therapy. This commitment to lifelong learning empowered her to provide cutting-edge treatment and exceptional support to her clients at RISE.
Life Skills Groups: Bridging the Gap Between Therapy and Real Life
A common issue Roberta observed is that while children often excel in one-on-one therapy sessions, they struggle to apply these skills in real-life situations. This challenge, particularly seen with William, led to the creation of RISE’s innovative Life Skills Groups.
These groups offer children a supportive environment where they can practice essential skills such as collaboration, perspective-taking, self-care, and self-regulation. By maintaining small group sizes, RISE ensures personalized attention, making it easier for children to transition their therapeutic achievements into everyday life.
The Mission of RISE Pediatric Therapy
At RISE, the mission is to enhance the social, emotional, and developmental well-being of children, equipping them with the skills and confidence to thrive as independent individuals. Roberta envisions a world where children not only develop essential skills but also experience the joy of forming lasting friendships and a sense of belonging.
