Ascend
Our Ascend Program teaches life skills to our youth so they are reaching for the goal of independence
Residential care for clients age 12 - 21 with a primary mental health diagnosis and a developmental disability (including, but not limited to, autism, lower IQ, and/or developmentally delayed)
*EBD must be primary diagnosis
Personalized care for every need.
Accommodations geared toward success.
Each child has a care plan established to help them reach individualized goals. These objectives are evaluated weekly so children can be celebrated for their accomplishments and set new goals.
Additionally, our children continue to attend local public school and receive additional services through on-site counseling, therapy, and support.
Reaching for the goal of
independence.
Teaching and reinforcing various skills both throughout a household and community.
Residents learn a number of household and individual care skills built specifically for their needs, including household skills, how to access community resources, fine motor development, and alternative communication skills and resources for non-verbal residents.
