Career Development at RISE
All too often, people living with disabilities are viewed as individuals limited in their skills and abilities, instead of creative humans with personal goals and unending potential. RISE Services, Inc. opened Wags in a Bag to allow adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and developmental disabilities to learn valuable job skills, create amazing dog treats, and reach their individual goals by maximizing their potential. Learn more about our social enterprise, which can provide all your pet treats, by contacting us today.
