According to the CDC, one in every six children in the United States has a disability. One in every 59 children has Autism. For adults, the numbers are just as shocking. Twenty-three percent of adults in the U.S. have a disability. At Raise Them High, we believe the need for services does not end with childhood. We are dedicated to helping children and adults alike receive the services they need to thrive.

The path to obtaining resources and services for children and adults with special needs is challenging. Navigating multiple applications, online systems, and office red tape can leave a caregiver feeling helpless. We are here to help.

Every child and adult deserves a successful life filled with possibility, not disability. We strive to empower families and individuals so that they may achieve their highest standard of living.
