HOPE Group is wonderful. We’ve been with them over 10 years. I have two kids that receive services and we’re lucky we found such a good company when the kids were young. Hope Group helps take care of all their needs and always responds so quickly with any questions or concerns.

It’s important to find a company that cares and addresses concerns quickly. HOPE Group has always been prompt when I’ve checked or transferred hours, updated goals or ask them to reach out to my support coordinator. I appreciate all the care and support they’ve given my providers and family over the years.

I am very grateful for the ongoing support that my family has received through the years. The staff is very approachable and available to answer any questions and are with you every step of the way. I’ve had the privilege to work closely with the providers, watch my son grow, and gain knowledge in the process. My experience with HOPE Group has been remarkably bright and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you HOPE Group for all you’ve done and continue to do!

HOPE Group has been so supportive helping my son through the VR process on two separate occasions to secure 2 part time jobs he loves. He has grown and learned new skills as a contributing member of society and is proud of his work. Thank you to the HOPE Group team. My heart is full!

My name is Lindsey Eaton and I have autism!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about HOPE Group. Over the years, I’ve received habilitation, vocational rehabilitation soon will receive DDD Individualized Supported Employment services through HOPE Group.

As an individual, I’ve always been driven to achieve higher independence throughout my life. HOPE Group truly has helped me reach these goals. The level of services I receive through HOPE Group is all-around amazing from the top down. As a result of this leadership, I always tell anyone I know- parents or people with disabilities about HOPE Group and the services they provide.

A few years ago, I started receiving Vocational Rehabilitation services through HOPE Group. I received job coaching services as well as group sessions through the Rehabilitative

Instructional Services program HOPE Group offers. Through RIS, I learned skills like how to deal with changes, how to advocate for myself and how to use body language with a couple of HOPE Group employees. Then I recently started a new role at Christ Lutheran School and needed VR services. My job coach (Fiona) was very helpful in terms of learning my job. These days, I cam thriving at work and I am about to become the inaugural client to receive HOPE Group’s recently launched ISE services.

On top of working, I receive habilitation services from HOPE Group. I work with two different providers to optimize my independence in the mornings and afternoons at my house in Scottsdale. I work on goals related to living a healthy lifestyle, advocating for myself at work in my personal and professional life, cleaning and organization and community integration and safety. I know that the lessons taught and systems put in place will help me succeed for life.

I would recommend HOPE Group to anyone and everyone. They truly have helped me become more independent personally and professionally.

We have been getting habilitation and respite support from with HOPE Group for over 18 years and we have been fortunate to have the same support group the whole time. We believe this is because of the great team that HOPE has assembled and how they support their staff.

Recently our adult son who attends ASU for Information Technology (IT) was trying to find a summer internship but was not having any success. As all parents of autistic children or young adults know, they are judged by the way they speak or by their body movements.

Although we knew Shelby from the HOPE Group, we had not worked with her on employment opportunities until Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) recommended Shelby as a resource to help our son.

After meeting with Shelby, she looked at a number of options then recommended Cade to an IT company for his summer internship. She setup mock interviews to help him prepare for his first employment interview. We also had his IT tutor work with him on the technical aspects of IT so he could be prepared for all type of questions.

We are so excited to say that all the help from the HOPE Group paid off, he got the summer internship and he is also getting job coaching from Fiona at HOPE. She met with him before his first day and went to the company with for the orientation. She also provided the company with coaching and information to help them support him in his day-to-day work activities.

We just received the update from the company and Fiona after his first week and it went great! He is really excited about the position and looks forward to working with Fiona each week for the duration of his internship.

In the ten years that HOPE Group and Suzanne has worked with my son, he has made significant progress. He is now able to communicate more effectively, and he is able to participate in more activities. He is also much happier and more confident. I am very grateful for Suzanne’s help. She has made a real difference in my son’s life. I would highly recommend HOPE Group and Suzanne as a valuable asset to any team.
