What Mansion Riders have helped achieve through the Ascent Children...Julia is in her own school district learning with her peers. Jake is potty trained. Max can read and write.  Conor started job training at a restaurant. Aaron can do math and in 2005 transitioned into a full day regular district program. Connor is playing sports with his brothers.  Megan is dressing herself.  Robert can shower on his own and is in his regular school district.  Armando is speaking in sentences, danced at the Hope on the Horizon dance, and in 2006 was a featured artist at a NY gallery.  Sarah started 3rd grade in her regular school district. Abby is making eye contact, and what better salute to Mansion Riders than this: Dan can ride his bike.
