Ways to Support ASCEND Group
You don’t have to become a member to help us further our mission! A donation to ASCEND Group can really make a difference and could go toward the following: implementing new programs, sponsoring a family, contributing to our library fund, paying our operating expenses (insurance, mailings, printings, stationery, supplies), and other areas that keep this organization up and running.

Gift an ASCEND Membership
Great for educators and service providers
Does your child have a teacher who goes above and beyond to accommodate him or her? Maybe there’s a service provider who could benefit from the advantages of an ASCEND membership?
It’s such an easy purchase! And an annual membership shows that you care about them and supporting the autism community. ASCEND provides educators and service providers with region-specific resources, news selected for the ASCEND community, events related to Asperger Syndrome and other ASDs, and much more.
Click here to purchase your gift memberships or make a donation in someone’s honor via our printable, mail-in form. (Deadline for holiday gift memberships is postmarked by 12/16.)
