The Parents Behind the Mission
Angela "Angie" Levin
Founder & Director
She was called into this field when her 2nd born son was diagnosed with autism at about 2 years of age. What began as a mother's search for answers became an 18-year mission.
Angie currently serves on the advisory board for the National Council for Severe Autism and devotes much of her career and private life to advocating for and improving the lives of families and individuals affected by autism.

Keith Levin
Founder & Board Member
A third-generation builder who grew up in the Prescott area. Keith married his high school sweetheart, Angela, and together they built ASCEND from the ground up.
A former deputy sheriff and detective, Keith was led back into construction in 2016, seeking the flexibility he needed to be more of a caregiver to his adult son with severe autism. He brings his values of excellence and integrity to everything ASCEND does.

Not Staff. Dedicated Caregivers.
At ASCEND, our 71 team members aren't just employees. They're dedicated caregivers who view each individual first and the disorder second. With a 1:1 student-teacher ratio, every student has a person wholly committed to their growth. That's not a program feature. That's who we are.
