Focused on Your Child’s Happiness

Your child is the center of your world, and at Hopebridge, they’re ours, too.

Rather than a cookie-cutter approach to therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental needs, we work with families to build a personalized treatment plan, with services like:

What does that look like? It’s different for everyone, and that’s the idea. Our clinicians meet your child – and your family – wherever they’re at, finding their happy place before moving onto new skills and working through challenges.

Driven by Clinical Outcomes

At Hopebridge, we believe in delivering therapy that not only supports children in the moment, but that also leads to long-term success. By continuously tracking progress and measuring success, we provide families with confidence that their child’s therapy is making a difference—not just today, but for years to come.

No other provider tracks and analyzes discharge data at the same level. Hopebridge’s commitment to measurement ensures that we are always evolving, improving and delivering the highest quality of care to the families we serve.

View Focus on the Family

A child’s progress in ABA therapy doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens with love, support and involvement from their family.

From the beginning, our teams guide families through the therapy process, ensuring they feel informed, empowered and ready to navigate their child’s autism journey. This includes:

Personalized family guidance
Open communication
Family-centered assessments

When families thrive, children do, too. And at Hopebridge, we’re committed to making that happen every day. Learn more about how we partner with families to create lasting success.

View Truly Compassionate Care

“Compassionate care” is more than a buzzword at Hopebridge—it’s our foundation. Our team is committed to providing care that is not only effective, but also safe, kind, respectful and attuned to their unique needs.

Through progressive approaches like the Happy, Relaxed, and Engaged (HRE) model, here’s what care looks like at Hopebridge:

We listen. Every child has a voice, and we take time to understand their preferences and feelings.
We build trust. Strong relationships are at the heart of progress, so we prioritize connection over “correction.”
We remove barriers. From sensory sensitivities to communication difficulties, we provide the right supports to help kids move forward at their own pace.
We focus on what matters. Your child’s happiness and well-being come first—growth happens when they feel valued.

View Where Kids Can Be Themselves

We celebrate every child for who they are and think their uniqueness is awesome! Our objective is to help our kids live happier and more independent lives, all while embracing their individual strengths.

This means:

– Building communication skills
– Developing daily living skills
– Encouraging social interactions
– Reducing frustrations and challenging behaviors
– Giving them time and space for healthy stimming

Every child deserves to feel supported and celebrated. Hopebridge is here to help them thrive as themselves, not change who they are.

View Encourages Independence

Independence starts with self-advocacy. People of all ages should feel heard, valued and in control of their own experiences, no matter their abilities. Hopebridge prioritizes autonomy rather than simply following directions without question.

Self-advocacy starts with giving children the tools to communicate in a way that works for them. Traditional therapy models have focused on compliance in the past, but Hopebridge feels strongly about a different approach. Services like ABA and speech-language therapy focus on:

– Helping kids express wants and needs
– Recognizing emotions and self-regulation 
– Teaching self-advocacy and choice 

Every child deserves a voice—and we’re here to help them use it.

View School Preparation

Success in school goes beyond knowing letters and numbers. Our center-based, interdisciplinary model helps prepare children for success and confidence in the classroom by working on:

– Learning to learn 
– Communication skills 

– Social and play skills
– Following directions and routines
– Self-care and independence
– Self-regulation and transitions

Not every child will follow the same school timeline or benefit from the same type of classroom. Our goal is to help each child reach their fullest potential at their own pace, with the support they need to thrive.

We’re not just getting kids ready for school, we’re preparing them for lifelong learning.

Hopebridge Reviews

“She still gets frustrated when she is not perfect at something, often leaving the activity all together, but her Hopebridge team told me that she is beginning to self-advocate. They are pushing for her to express herself. She will now tell them, ‘this is hard,’ or ‘I need help,’ in those moments of frustration. We are extremely proud of her for voicing her needs.”

Angelica - Mom to Norah

"The staff, environment and other families at Hopebridge all make it such a great experience. Everyone is understanding and I love the notes at the end of the week that discuss progress. It’s informative and helpful to have tips and tasks to work on at home. I couldn’t be more pleased and blessed to find Hopebridge for Jacob."

Richard - Dad to Jacob

"When he was first diagnosed, I wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to understand us, but now he picks up on everything and also can tell us how he feels. I don’t know if I’m ready for him to go to school – it’s hard to leave the place that has become his second home! – but I know he is ready. Hopebridge has been working on preparing him and it helps me to know his BCBA agrees."

Paulina - Mom to Cameron

"If you feel like something is different, or you have concerns about speech or behavior, it’s probably for a reason. Get support and don’t let anyone shut you down and tell you it’s not important. Early intervention makes a huge difference. Isaac was diagnosed with autism one week after his 2nd birthday. If he wasn’t and didn’t have the chance to get into ABA, our lives would be very different right now."

Kancise - Mom to Isaac

"As we got a tour of the center, I could feel a weight lifted off of my shoulders, we had finally found the place that would accept, love and lead my child in just the way that he needed. The very first day I dropped him off, the amazing RBT that was going to be with him for the day was beyond loving towards Mason and I could tell she couldn’t wait to play and get to know him and she was going to take great care of him."

Jen - Mom to Mason
