Client Spotlight - University of Alabama Rise School
In 1977 they expanded their services to include children with severe handicaps and mental developmental disabilities. In 1978 they integrated typically developing peers into the school. This transformed the curriculum to reflect a blending of recommended practices of early childhood special education, early childhood education and child development.
When Coach Gene Stallings came to the University he immediately put a focus on this program, as his son, John Mark was born with Down Syndrome. Coach Stallings poured support into the program and was helped build a new facility for the program. In 1994, the Stallings Center was opened. Today the school serves over 80 students and employs 34 individuals.
