Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is a widely researched, evidence-based approach that helps individuals with autism build meaningful skills and reduce behaviors that interfere with learning, safety, communication, or daily life.
ABA uses familiar teaching concepts, such as reinforcement, prompting, and generalization, in systematic and individualized ways. At Project Hope Foundation, ABA therapy is provided by nationally certified behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians.
A key part of our therapy model is monthly, individualized family guidance. These sessions help parents and caregivers understand their child’s goals, learn practical strategies, support progress at home and in the community, and build confidence in responding to everyday challenges.
For the convenience of our families, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy are also available through Project Hope Foundation for children receiving ABA services.
Education
For many children with autism, success in school begins with the right support. A key part of our therapy services is helping children develop the communication, social, behavioral, and learning skills they need to participate more successfully in classroom settings.
Because students with autism have a wide range of strengths and needs, Project Hope Foundation offers several educational options. These include Hope Academy, our own autism-specific school, as well as supportive services for students enrolled in local public and private schools.
Our goal is to help students experience school as a place where they can learn, grow, belong, and participate alongside others.
Adult Services
As more individuals with autism enter adulthood, the need for meaningful adult services continues to grow. Project Hope Foundation is committed to developing innovative supports that promote independence, purpose, connection, and quality of life.
Our adult day services focus on communication, social engagement, daily living skills, community interaction, and personal growth. We also provide employment opportunities, including the option to work in Printed by Hope, our on-site digital shirt-printing business.
We continue to advocate for policies and funding that recognize the lifelong needs of adults with autism and support services that help them thrive.
Community Engagement
Autism affects more than the individual with the diagnosis. It changes daily life for parents, siblings, grandparents, extended family members, caregivers, schools, workplaces, and communities.
Project Hope Foundation helps families and communities navigate autism with greater understanding, connection, and support. We offer opportunities for families to develop plans, access resources, receive training, and build ongoing support.
We also provide specialized training for childcare providers, teachers, medical professionals, law enforcement, civic organizations, and other groups who interact with the autism community. Through education, advocacy, and awareness, we help build communities where people with autism and their families are better understood, welcomed, and supported.
