Hear From Past Ascent Families
Run By a Team of Passionate Behavior Analysts, Professors, and Technologists.
Ascent was started in San Francisco, CA by a group of behavior analysts, professors, and technologists in order to provide safe and conducive spaces for individuals withs autism to practice their social skills.
Individuals with autism have unique life experiences that can make it challenging to connect with members of their local communities. Ascent provides safe spaces for peers to develop their social skills and grow socially and emotionally. The growth that peers experience in their Ascent peer groups will help them better connect with their local community members.
