Who We Are

Horizons of Hope is an emerging nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of autistic adults on the Self-Determination Program (SDP). Our mission is to support those who have been excluded from other day programs due to behavioral challenges by offering personalized care, meaningful opportunities, and a vibrant sense of community.

Our Hope to Offer

As we prepare to launch, our vision includes:

Tailored
Activities

Programs customized to individuals gifts, interests, abilities, and goals, from creative arts, sports, to skill-building.

Behavioral & Life Skills Support

Guidance from trained professionals, including BCBA-supported aides, to address specific needs.

Job Training & Opportunities

Hands-on learning and meaningful employment opportunities to foster independence.

Inclusive Community Spaces

A welcoming environment for work, play, meals, and shared learning experiences.

A Unique Opportunity

Horizons of Hope is designed to meet the needs of individuals on the SDP, especially those who require additional support to thrive. We aim to:

  • Empower participants with tools and opportunities to achieve their fullest potential.
  • Provide their aides with training, guidance, and incentives to stay engaged.
  • Serve as a model program for the Self-Determination Program

A Journey of Hope

Too many autistic adults are turned away from programs that claim to support them.

My son, Cole, was one of them. We were met with rejection after rejection, some programs even refused to meet him before deciding he wasn’t the right fit. One program went so far as to say that if he had an instance, they would call both the parents and the police. Whoever got there first would take him. That moment changed everything.

What if there was a better way? A place where autistic adults aren’t just supervised, but truly supported, where they can learn, grow, and find purpose in a community that values them? Click below to read our story and discover how we’re building that future.

A strong support system makes things happen.

At Horizons of Hope, we believe that growth, empowerment, and success thrive in a strong support system. Every individual deserves the chance to reach their full potential, but no one should have to do it alone. That’s why we foster a community of encouragement, collaboration, and tailored support ensuring that autistic adults, their aides, and their families have the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to flourish. With the right support network, challenges become stepping stones, goals become achievements, and hope turns into action. Together, we make possibilities endless.
