There is hope for the future.

For more than 20 years, The Hope Center for Autism has been the door families walk through when no other door will open.

HopeNow is The Hope Center for Autism's five-year capital campaign to raise $12 million and create a place where children and adults with autism can learn, grow, and thrive at every stage of life. For too many families, an autism diagnosis comes with long waitlists, limited services, and uncertainty about the future. HopeNow is changing that story.

Your investment will help create expanded classrooms, early intervention services, transition and vocational programs, family supports, and safe, spaces where individuals with autism are not simply accommodated they are valued, empowered, and given the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.

At The Hope Center for Autism, we believe every person deserves a community where they belong, a future filled with possibility, and the chance to live a meaningful life.

‍HopeNow is more than a building campaign. It is a promise to families that hope starts here and that together, we can open the door to a limitless future.

Our Commitment

Our Pledge Of Hope To families

Every age, every stage

Our programs do not end at a diagnosis or a grade. From 16 months through adulthood, a child never ages out of Hope.

Nurturing Care

Small classes, proven methods, and caring teachers trained who know each child by name. Skills that stalled for years are met in classrooms.

Built for independence

Teens and young adults gain the social and job-ready skills to work, live, and lead. Nationally, 85% of autistic adults with degrees go unemployed. We are here to change that.

Families never Do it alone

Parents do not navigate autism by themselves here. We walk beside every family through services, school, and the question every parent asks: what happens next?
