HOPE Group was founded in 1997 by a mother who struggled to find the necessary services for her young son, James, who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the young age of two. HOPE Group was established to support him and through the years has supported hundreds of families and children. Since 1997, HOPE Group has provided various services to those diagnosed with developmental disabilities, including individuals with Autism. For the past 25 years, HOPE Group’s mission is to earn the privilege of being a trusted partner to the community and to always be the reminder that a diagnosis is not an ending point, but merely a place to begin. The main focus has, is and always will be to restore hope during times of challenge and vulnerability. We are built on the values that parents and families care most about, because we are those families too.
