April is Autism Awareness Month!

Here at The Hope Center and Hope Academy, our days are filled with learning, fun, and energy for days. We have students and staff who all bring their own unique personality to school. We do things a little differently here at Hope and we pride ourselves for being able to adapt to change in unique ways. So, for this blog post, we thought it would be fun to ask the staff: 

“Tell us you work at The Hope Center without telling us you work at The Hope Center.”

Here’s what we got: 

“I have a picture symbol vocabulary board for every lesson.” 

“I wear an apron with detachable organs while teaching science.” 

“I find beads in my laundry.” 

“I know ALL the fidget toys.” 

“I work with kids all day every day.” 

“I know ALL the skip counting songs.” 

“I find visuals in my pocket.” 

“I have a visual for everything.” 

“Laminating is life!” 

“I get to work with the most awesome students every single day.” 

“Blue is our favorite color.” 

“I get to help kids improve their motor skills every day.” 

“I witness students saying their first words.” 

“Adaptation is our forte.” 

“Core boards go with us everywhere.” 

“I work with amazing students, staff, and the best director.” 

While we take our jobs very seriously, we also have fun and get to witness amazing things every single day. Next time, our students will tell us they attend The Hope Center without telling us they attend The Hope Center. 

Stay tuned friends and don’t forget to live, laugh, and adapt.
