Rooted & Rising

Life Skills Collective for Young Adults with ASD

Building Real-World Independence in a Real-World Environment
 
Rooted & Rising is a small, highly individualized life skills program for young adults (18+) with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
At Roots to Blooms, we believe independence develops best in spaces that feel natural, safe, and meaningful, not clinical.

Our program takes place in a calm farmhouse setting in Leesburg, where participants practice everyday life skills in environments that mirror home and community life.
 
Instead of simulated activities, young adults build independence by:

  • Preparing meals in a real kitchen

  • Managing laundry and personal organization

  • Practicing budgeting and meal planning

  • Maintaining shared spaces

  • Strengthening communication and self-advocacy

  • Practicing community readiness skills
     

The setting reduces sensory overload while increasing generalization of skills into everyday life.

Assent-Based ABA in Action

Rooted & Rising is grounded in assent-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This means participants are active collaborators in their goals.

We prioritize:

  • Autonomy and emotional readiness

  • Choice-making and intrinsic motivation

  • Functional, meaningful goal development

  • Natural environment teaching

  • Data-driven progress monitoring


Individualized Programming
Each participant receives a customized life skills plan that may focus on:

  • Daily living skills

  • Executive functioning

  • Communication and social confidence

  • Pre-vocational readiness

  • Community safety and navigation

  • Self-advocacy

Enrollment is intentionally limited to five participants per day/group to ensure individualized attention and high-quality implementation.
