Expanding Opportunities: Ascendigo Visits TACT in Denver Ahead of Western Slope Partnership

Last week, Jeo Mendez, Ascendigo’s Vocational & Housing Assistant Director, had the opportunity to tour the TACT facility in Denver—an inspiring and insightful visit that sets the stage for our exciting partnership and expansion to the Western Slope.

During the visit, Jeo explored TACT’s hands-on training programs, administrative operations, and Specialized Day School (SDS), gaining a firsthand look at the daily experiences of their students. What stood out most was the strong sense of community—students learning together, forming friendships, and feeling empowered in a program that recognizes and supports them exactly as they are.

Seeing TACT’s model in action reinforced the incredible potential when organizations collaborate to expand opportunities, build skills, and create meaningful career pathways for neurodiverse individuals. It was a reminder of what’s possible when we bring vision, dedication, and community together—and it’s clear that big things are ahead.

As part of this exciting collaboration, Ascendigo and TACT are now hiring for two positions to support this growing program:

  • SPED Coordinator

  • Lead General Maintenance Instructor

If you—or someone in your network—might be interested, we’d love your help spreading the word.

We can’t wait to bring this innovative model to the Western Slope and continue creating opportunities for neurodiverse individuals to thrive.
