About Us
Our Program
ARISE Adaptive Design is a volunteer collective of people with all types of abilities, their families and friends, clinicians, designers and makers. People with disabilities and their families are equal members of their design teams. Together we identify solutions to provide access and full participation in a wide range of activities and settings. Our design solutions are driven by the unique needs and interests of the design user.

Testimonials
What People Say
I just wanna thank the amazing people at ARISE. They truly work hard and care about the people they build and adapt for. They built Lana this amazing chair. My daughter has difficulty with sitting comfortably due to her long list of medical conditions, so they built her a chair that works with her body. It has compartments to hold her feeding tube supplies and other important items. The time, items,energy that the time puts in to do these amazing projects to help people is beyond words. If you want her help a great team of people that helps so many, this is it. Please help support ARISE Adaptive Design with donations and volunteer if you can. Without donations and volunteers, kids and adults wont be able to benefit from this great team. ❤❤

We just wanted to thank everyone who helped make Landon’s “wild thing” a success. Independent mobility is something so many people take for granted , to see the light in our little man’s eyes when he was able to cruise around the back yard is something we will be forever grateful for. He can’t wait to bring it out to his cousins house to play!! Thank you all so much!!!!
