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.
