Rise DC

Occupational therapists by trade, Beck Giallella M.S., OTR/L and Morgan Smith M.S., OTR/L recognized the lack of programming for adults with disabilities in the DC area. As former school based therapists working with transition-aged students ages 18-22, Morgan and Beck strive to provide every young adult in the DMV area with opportunities and skill-based programming to RISE to their full potential. RISE also recognizes the need in the DMV area for supportive, innovative, and creative occupational therapy services for clients across the lifespan. Beck and Morgan’s core belief is that clients make the most progress when the entire support team works together. We focus on practicing skills in the community as well as integrating individualized visuals, modifications, and accommodations in order to support clients in meaningful daily activities.
