Meet Tonya Roberts
Tonya Roberts, our founder, began as a advocate for individuals with special needs. As the years went on she struggled with the idea of her consumer not having a activity center full of daily activities. She came to the realization that she could provide a "college like experience" for these young adults through a structured day program. She developed Rising Star ISS as a program where young adults can continue learning and growing towards independence and community integration. Information of our structured program began to spread and our group of young adults grew. Before we knew it, we were in need of a new facility in order for all of our young adults to have space to grow and learn. We continue to grow and look forward to our next steps as a company and day program!
