We, at HOPE Group, believe that all children deserve the opportunity to learn and become a valuable part of society.

Since 1997 we have been committed to empowering families to find the best methods of teaching language, social, and behavioral skills to their children with autism. We have seen first-hand how families can help their children learn and grow toward independence.

We offer habilitation and respite providers throughout the state of Arizona who are trained in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). ABA is the most current, 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.

We maintain a highly qualified staff of Lead Habilitation Trainers (including several Board Certified Behavior Analysts - BCBAs) trained in the methodologies considered most current and effective by experts in the field of ABA. Our services are intended to be an enhancement to your ABA program. Our Lead trainers are skilled in the methodologies of ABA, but are not intended to replace a behavioral consultant to provide you with the individualized programming and expertise that is required to run a successful in-home ABA Program.
