For too long, high school graduation has felt like a cliff for neurodivergent students...an ending instead of a beginning. This year, RISE Academy launched its first cohort of neurodivergent adults and already, we’re seeing incredible growth in confidence, skills, and community connection. To keep the momentum going, we need your help.

You’re not just funding a program — you’re fueling potential. Every dollar raised helps us reach our $65,000 goal, meaning students can step confidently into adulthood, equipped with the tools, skills, and community they need to rise.  Our students are learning essential life and job skills while gaining confidence, independence, and friendships that last a lifetime. This two-year program creates real opportunities to work, volunteer, and contribute meaningfully in the community

PerspectAbility Inc. is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization formed by a group of parents whose children are neurodivergent. After researching local resources for neurodivergent adults, we determined the options available don’t fit our children’s needs or offer the quality of life we desire for our children. We are advocates for our children and firm believers in research-based strategies, data collection, communication, and accountability to ensure programming is effective and appropriate for the individual receiving it. 

The first phase of our mission began in the Spring of 2021 when we opened Northwest Arkansas' very first you-pick tulip farm - True Colors Farm by PerspectAbility. The tulip farm is a regional attraction for the NWA community that provides an opportunity to employ neurodivergent adults and to educate the public about our cause. We can't wait to welcome you to the farm once the tulips are blooming this April.

The second phase of our mission began in August 2025. PerspectAbility launched the opening of RISE Transition Academy. RISE Transition Academy has four students projected to graduate in May of 2027.  We are taking applications to begin a second cohort of students in August 2026.  

The final phase of our mission includes building an inclusive neighborhood where residents have access to supportive services to maximize their independent living. 

We are committed to partnering with the Northwest Arkansas community to ensure it does not miss out on the important talents and contributions of its neurodivergent citizens; and to ensure Northwest Arkansas’ neurodivergent adults are included and thriving in all places and spaces within their community!
