Mission Statement
The mission of Ascendigo is to elevate the autism spectrum by empowering people, inspiring lives and shattering expectations!
About This Cause
Ascendigo was founded in 2004 as a summer sports camp for children with autism by leading autism advocates and parents. These parents believed that all children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) should have access to a full and rich life experience, including recreation in the outdoors and the many benefits that exposure to the natural environment and participation in sports can provide. Originally a summer sports camp, Ascendigo has since expanded to offer year-round outdoor recreational options including ski school and winter sports, a comprehensive life skills and residential program for adults, and crucial early intervention/behavioral therapies for children. Ascendigo currently serves approximately 200 youth and adults in direct service annually. In addition, we train school personnel, community members, other autism service providers and law enforcement agencies. Each of our programs are grounded in best-practices and evidence-based teaching strategies from academic and professional fields including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Naturalistic Developmental Behavior Interventions (NDBI), therapeutic recreation, sports instruction and experiential education.
