We Need Pictures!

If you are a current client we would love for you to submit a picture or two of your child so that we can see their growth and development. Remember, your children are the reason that we are operating as an agency. Your children are the reason we are able to provide jobs for other individuals. We will use your pictures for our website and/or promotional materials. Please allow us to share your child's amazing story with other clients, providers and professionals!

If you would like to submit a picture, please download our Client Photo Release Form, and if your provider happens to be in the picture, we will also need the Employee Photo Release Form.

Check out our Clients in Need section, where parents can anonymously post information regarding their child’s needs in terms of days and hours needed. Providers have been taking advantage of this and contacting Hope Group to get names and phone numbers of families. There are directions in this section on how to post for your child.

Because of DDD’s new FOCUS system, respite services that are billed at 13 hours or more in a 24 hour period will result in a deduction of 24 hours from your child’s respite authorization – regardless of how many actual hours worked. This is called respite continuous or RSD. Please be aware of this with upcoming fall and winter breaks. If your provider bills under 13 hours of respite in a 24 hour period then the actual amount of hours will be paid to the provider and subtracted from your child’s respite authorization. If your provider bills 13 hours or more of respite in a 24 hour period, you must have prior approval from HOPE Group and you must contact your child’s support coordinator for a respite continuous authorization. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Client Services.

**During the summer you may need your provider to work more. Please remember to get prior approval from H.O.P.E. Group before having your provider bill more than 12 hours of respite. Contact Sony Escoto for any questions.

Do you have a provider or know of one that you think deserves recognition for their great work??? We will select one employee a month who has done an outstanding job. If you know anyone who you would like to nominate to be a star, please nominate them here. When you nominate the employee, please make sure to tell us what makes them stand out!
