Starting in 1997, we have served thousands of individuals. With the current rate of autism of 1 in 54 children, our services are more critical than ever. Project HOPE Foundation currently serves across ages, across the spectrum, and across services. We have four core programs: (1) We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to 220+ children daily; (2) We serve 100+ students in our own autism-specialized school and in other local public/private school; (3) We support 20+ adults through day programs, job support, social groups, and in our own digital t-shirt printing business; (4) We offer workshops and trainings to the community, building support for the autism population. We have 8 campuses in Anderson, Greenville, Greenwood, Landrum, Pendleton, Spartanburg, and Woodruff. Leadership
Project HOPE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization since 1996, continues to be led by its founders, Lisa Lane and Susan Sachs, both mothers of sons with autism. Lisa and Susan serve as co-Executive Directors of Project HOPE Foundation. Project HOPE Foundation is fortunate to have an active, involved Board of Directors from across Upstate South Carolina. Funding
Project HOPE Foundation is funded through fees-for-service (private pay, insurance, and PDD Waiver), fundraising events, grants, and donations. We have two major fundraising events: the Evening of Hope Gala in May and the Hope Invitational Golf Tournament in September-October.

Autistic people may ask a lot of questions, challenge an idea, or want to understand WHY something works the way it does.

“Curious, Not Contrary” is a reminder that asking questions isn’t the same thing as being difficult!

❤️ Printed by Hope is Project Hope’s on-site T-shirt printing business, where autistic adults build job skills through hands-on work like printing shirts, organizing orders, packaging, and managing inventory.

A simple letter game can build a surprising number of skills! 😉

One person chooses a starting letter and the other chooses an ending letter. Then, the race is on to think of a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second.

For autistic high school students, games like this can provide practice with vocabulary, word retrieval, flexible thinking, listening, and responding to another person…all while working on social interaction!

Follow along for more examples of how we build meaningful skills through everyday activities at Project Hope! ❤️💛

There are skills need to be taught because they won’t magically appear because a child gets older.

A child might need extra practice with how to:
▪️Follow a visual schedule
▪️Ask for help or make a request
▪️Take turns and play with another child
▪️Follow simple directions
▪️Identify objects, pictures, letters, numbers, or colors
▪️Wait for a preferred activity
▪️Transition from one activity to another
▪️Tolerate everyday experiences like wearing a Band-Aid or getting a haircut
▪️Use an AAC device to communicate
• Practice self-care skills like washing hands, dressing, or using the bathroom

These skills don’t always develop automatically or at the same pace for every child.

Many children on the spectrum benefit from having a skill broken down into smaller steps, being shown exactly what to do, practicing repeatedly, and receiving support along the way. ❤️

Explicit teaching can give children practical skills that increase communication and participation…thereby broadening access to the world around them.
