Welcome to Ohr V’Daas RISE – Rockland Institute for Special Education (RISE )!

"I can’t imagine a better place for my daughter. The staff at Ohr V'Daas RISE is not only professional, they are warm and involved with heart and soul. We are constantly amazed at her progress in every area since she joined this school."

"Benny is a radiant little boy with Down Syndrome, hearing loss, and a feeding tube. Yet despite his many medical challenges, we watched as the amazing staff treated Benny as if he were their own child. We saw an immediate commitment to his educational needs and solid recognition of his abilities. We are forever grateful to Ohr V’Daas RISE!"

"Our six year old severely autistic child Simon is now a new person! He can finally enjoy the company of his siblings and interacts with them. He is alert and he is happy. The ABA program is doing wonders and Simon is truly blossoming!"

"When our Debby entered your program at the age of fourteen her speech was unintelligible and her academics were non-existent. Diagnosed with both Down Syndrome and Tourettes, she was extremely impulsive and existed in her own world.
Today, after five years of extensive time, effort, and lots of love, Debbie is a young lady who is an active member of the classroom. She reads and has a delightful sense of humor.
I used to fear for Debbie’s future. Today, I see sunshine."

"After touring Ohr V’daas RISE, I was struck by the outstanding commitment and dedication of the staff. Everyone in that building cares deeply and passionately about these special children, and as a result the students are making tremendous progress. Academic and therapeutic programs are crucial to be sure, but it’s the love and caring that makes all the difference in the world."
