RISE™ Friendship Skills
We actively engage your child in developing emotional and social skills, empowering them to cultivate positive behaviours essential for success in primary school.
RISE™ Early Intervention
Help your child with autism get ready for primary school
As your child transitions from preschool to primary school, the shift from an open-space concept to a classroom-based environment can be stressful. Starting earlier in their formative years lets us address these challenges more effectively, with consistently better results.

RISE™ Programme
Four pillars of school readiness
Our early intervention programme is built on four core areas that prepare your child for a successful transition into primary school.
RISE™ Classroom Management Skills
It is crucial to clearly understand what is expected of your child in a classroom and to model the right behaviours from the seniors so they fully thrive in their learning journey.
RISE™ Peer Modelling
Your child will participate alongside our Starlight after-school programme learners, who are more mature, sociable, well-behaved, and have the skills to perform well in a Pathlight or mainstream environment.
RISE™ Academic Skills
From pencil grips to the essential skills needed for Primary 1, we ensure children are well-equipped for their journey into primary school.
Our Methodology
Anchored in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
We use ABA-based teaching: predictable routines, positive reinforcement, and small-group practice of communication and daily living skills. Every behaviour we track is measured, and every intervention is adjusted based on your child's progress data.
Core Developmental Objectives
While every programme is bespoke, our overarching goal is to equip children with a functional skill set that bridges the gap between clinical support and independent community participation.
Communication
Developing functional verbal and non-verbal systems to express needs and ideas.
Social Integration
Navigating peer interactions and understanding social nuances in school settings.
Adaptive Living
Increasing independence in daily routines at home and in the broader community.
Cognitive Flexibility
Reducing rigid patterns of behaviour to foster resilience in changing environments.

Assessment Tools
A rigorous, multi-tool diagnostic process
Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, our programmes are engineered through proven assessment methods. The data is synthesised with the family's aspirations to ensure the intervention is clinically sound and tailored to your child's unique ecosystem.
VB-MAPP
To assess language, communication, and social milestones based on the principles of verbal behaviour.
PEAK
Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge — to develop complex language, relational framing, and cognition.
Inventory of Good Learner Repertoires
To ensure the child has the foundational 'learning-to-learn' skills (cooperation, attention) needed for classroom success.
Essential for Living (EFL)
A functional life skills assessment to identify and teach 'must-have' skills such as safety, self-care, and making requests.
ESDM
Early Start Denver Model — for intensive, relationship-based early developmental intervention for our youngest learners.
