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 our 5-year capital campaign raising a total of 12 million dollars for the children and families of ASD.

We have the extraordinary opportunity to give families a place where their children are seen, supported, and prepared for a future built for them. We believe a world where every child belongs is a better world. And that is a world worth investing in.

“When you walk into The Hope Center, the first thing you notice is not what you expect. It is not loud. It is the quiet of children being met exactly where they are.”

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?

A place to be fully themselves

Here a child can drop the mask and simply be a kid: learning, connecting, and growing in a setting built around them, not the other way around.
