Our mission is to enhance the health, social engagement, and personal growth of people with autism through challenging, attainable, and enjoyable recreational, athletic, and work programs.
Unlike their typical peers, children and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have few opportunities to experience the more advanced, age-appropriate activities which truly challenge them. Ascendigo provides this opportunity and the underlying instructional approach to realize it.
Ascendigo believes that learning any activity is best accomplished through sustained and repeated immersion, coupled with the expectation that the participant can in fact progress to the next level. We have chosen activities that can be “extreme” to an ASD child but which can also be mastered by that child through incremental learning. The activity provides an intrinsic motivation to learn and work, and the staff of Ascendigo provides the specialized instruction to enable the camper to succeed.
We offer supervision for the BCBA students once employe at Ascendigo.
