THE CRISIS

Autism is a growing Crisis:

In 1980 1 in 10,000 children had Autism. Today, the number is now 1 in 36. The number is growing, not decreasing. 94% of those with Autism and other disabilities still live at home. Parents have few options for their children to have a good life now and eventually when they pass on. Many are losing hope.

THE SOLUTION

ASCEND is a new model that is a part of the solution. Ascend is a non-profit that has a school, a day program and long-term living for those with disabilities. All three programs work together to help give those served a life of dignity.

Our Mission

Our mission is to view the individual first and the disorder second, and strive to meet the individual needs of each person. We believe that each individual must be nurtured to at all levels – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and educationally. We also believe that family input is the cornerstone to the success of the program.

ABOUT

The ASCEND school was founded in 2007 by Keith and Angela Levin, whose child, Cade, is affected by Autism. Living in a rural community in Arizona, they started the school after a challenging journey finding proper support for him. Now, a decade later they have helped more than fifty children to learn skills and have fulfilling daily purpose.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

ASCEND is a K-12 school, Adult Program, and soon to be residential program for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disabilities. ASCEND structures the program on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles. We encourage families to meet with us to discuss the very individualized needs of their loved ones on all levels of the spectrum.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

ASCEND is an Arizona non-profit organization and always looking for great volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering your time or donating your goods & services to ASCEND, please contact us at the information listed.

Non-Profit

ASCEND began as a non-profit day school specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) based education. Our program is designed for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), language disorders and behavioral challenges. We accept students grades K-12 and help them to develop language skills, academic experience, self-help and leisure skills. We have recently expanded our program to include our Arizona Division of Developmental Disability (DDD) service, featuring Adult Day Program, Attendant care and respite care wrap around services, and Hope Haven Ranch (a residential facility for young adults with special needs).

Support

Family members and community are an integral part of the programming choices, fundraising, and community events. The ultimate goal is that each individual and family affected by autism will find a strong support system with us.
