Parents
Parent involvement is the essential. The parents are the ones that care the most and have been the best interests of their children at the forefront. The Parent Partnering Program by directly involving the parents provides the best opportunity for the children to progress. Being a parent of an autistic child is challenging and requires a great deal of sacrifice. By working together we become stronger. Parents working together, can increase their knowledge base, provide mutual support and ensure that their children are getting every advantage and opportunity.
Many parents have to sacrifice work and incomes to ensure their children are able to attend therapy schedules. With the sacrifices comes loss of income. Lets face the facts, being a special needs parent is a full-time job; our Parent Partnering Program allows families to receive compensation for what is already a labor of love.
Family and Friend Involvement
There are many family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) and friends who want to help, but don’t know how and/or don’t feel qualified. The Hope Group will provide free training/certification to family and friends, they are also able receive compensation for their efforts. We are all in this together and only together can we make a difference in the lives of our children. The more involvement we have from those close to our children, they better off our kids will be.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
ABA is a scientifically proven and efficient method of teaching essential skills to children on the autism spectrum. It is beneficial for individuals with a variety of other developmental disabilities as well. An effective ABA program may incorporate multiple theories and approaches to teaching, including analysis of verbal behavior, picture schedules, play therapy, and discrete trial training. Each program must be tailored to suit the needs of each individual child and the skill levels of those implementing the program. ABA programs are very child friendly, and focus on teaching the function of language in a positive, age appropriate environment.
