It may surprise you to learn that

·         1 in every 110 children ,1 in every 70 boys, born today will be diagnosed with autism;

·         Cost of lifelong care can be reduced by 2/3 with early diagnosis and intervention

Our main program is a school for children with Autism in Martin County. We provide this at no cost to the families. Schools with similar services in the state of Florida charge their families up to $45,000 a year.

The state Department of Education provides The Hope Center for Autism with a limited amount of funds for each student.  However, this amount does not cover the entire cost of the learning environment we provide for our students.  The Hope Center excels in individualized instruction developed specifically for each student. We also provides educational trainings and outreach opportunities for our community.

In order to keep meeting the needs of our families and the many families on the waiting list to attend The Hope Center, we would like you to support The Hope Center in 2011.

Together, we can make sure that the doors are opened for children with autism.

Sincerely,

Stacie Routt
