A HOPE FOR AUTISM FOUNDATION

Description

A Hope For Autism Foundation (AHFA) is a highly respected and supported non-profit organization providing behavioral therapy and specialized education for children with autism and pervasive developmental disorders. AHFA was founded in 2009 by parents and professionals to provide quality educational and behavioral support for children with autism and related disorders and their families, create a pool of well-trained home interventionists and school personnel that serve children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and increase community awareness about ASD and applied behavior analysis (ABA). In 2013 the Hope For Kids Project center based program was founded with a focus on specialized instruction that optimizes learning across all settings. The Early Social Learners program was launched in 2014. This program is an extension of a successful pilot study conducted by Robbin Sobotka-Soles (2008-2012). Our Early Social Learners group incorporates a developmental approach of understanding perspective and social thinking concepts as well as individualized instruction for each unique child we work with.
