the LifeRaft System
LifeRaft is a comprehensive web-based ABA curriculum and empowerment system. It has been developed over a period of fifteen years and offers beautifully created teaching materials, data collection tools, advocacy aids, video demonstrations and an extensive curriculum for families, educators, administrators and other professionals. It is a turnkey system, adaptable to the individual needs of the learner, high-quality, high-value and practical to administer. LifeRaft is easy to use and effective. Anyone can navigate the system from the comfort of a laptop or tablet. Educators can customize the lessons for each learner. Grandparents, older siblings, neighbors or other mentors can also become involved to create a meaningful new destiny for an individual with special needs. The future can be a daunting place when autism is present; LifeRaft brings the hope, help, measurable solutions and practical instruction to provide clarity, peace and sustainable progress for children and adults on the autism spectrum. LifeRaft is also applicable for many of the 1 in 6 children the CDC identifies with speech and language impairments, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and cerebral palsy.
LifeRaft Advocates

LifeRaft Communicates
A comprehensive menu of I.E.P. and I.H.P. goals better prepare families and educators for discussions at planning meetings.
A web-based discussion forum for all parties involved with a learner will help them to see, chat and comment on program details, progress and other salient information.
A wide selection of tools is offered to parents who may need help attaining appropriate and quality solutions for their learner’s needs or who may not always have the time to personally create them.
A thorough learner profile imparts important information to all individuals involved in the learner’s program. If the learner changes schools or moves to a different geographic location, this information is particularly helpful.
Matrices that show a learner's areas of strength in an at-a-glance format, will summarize their skill levels and direct future goals.
Supervisory feedback measures are built into each LifeRaft journey; these assure the regular oversight of everyone on a learner's team and facilitate a coordinated approach between teachers, therapists, administrators and parents.
A Call to Action
The trajectory of individuals diagnosed on the autism spectrum is directly linked to the mission of those who intervene in their lives and facilitate their learning and success. Missions determine actions. Actions determine everything. There is a desperate call to action from parents, from educators and from other professionals who love and care for children with autism and other challenges. It is not a call to do what is merely adequate. It is not a call for day-to-day management at sub-level standards of dedication or intervention. It is a call for excellence and for intervention of the highest caliber. It is a call for what their children deserve and for what is right. It is an empassioned call for opportunity and results. LifeRaft has taken the actions needed to assure a new and meaningful purpose, direction and destiny for millions of individuals, today and in the future. Autism doesn’t need to be a sinking ship. The LifeRaft is here. Come aboard on a journey to excellence.
LifeRaft Accelerates
Ready-made materials are specifically designed for each and every LifeRaft Journey. These make learning more streamlined, teaching more effective, and skill mastery more likely.
An organized curriculum meets every child wherever they are in their development, which enhances communication between facilitation partners and allows all of the program information to be disseminated and utilized by all parties. This will foster learning during and after scheduled lesson times and help to increase a learner’s speed of mastery.
Materials, data, graphs and notes are provided to all parties to view and understand. When all parties are actively involved with the scope, nature and direction of a learner’s educational plan, mastery of lesson material is enhanced and the generalization of skills is more readily accomplished.
A New Destiny for Millions!
LifeRaft Evaluates
Establishing clear, concise standards of mastery and evaluation will lend a voice to the direction and integrity of a learner’s program.
Customized tools document supervisory feedback and foster accountability throughout the educational process.
LifeRaft’s easy-to-use, professionally designed data forms help to track, organize and evaluate progress and assure that mastery is the priority.
I.E.P. goals are written, sequenced, and cross-referenced to help provide clarity and show progress in planning and assessment meetings.
Matrices for each category of lessons and skill sets provide an at-a-glance profile of the learner. This makes the transfer of care, the transition to a new geographic location, or the change in educators possible, with little compromise to the learner’s advancement.
LifeRaft Emancipates
LifeRaft offers the freedom to choose excellence instead of settling for whatever is available or provided.
The opportunity to provide high-quality, early intervention, without regard to cost, geographic location or other factors presents the greatest chance for the success of each and every learner. As long as children remain in a world of autism, they are trapped. LifeRaft can help to carry them to a place where they can be lifted from more of the limits of autism and other challenges.
The cost of ABA is often prohibitive for families and school districts. Providing the best and most complete materials and instruction, helps to alleviate financial pain and anguish. Families should not have to make the difficult choice of relocation just to attain affordable or quality services for their learner.
