The Hope Continuum for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
HOPE is an acronym that represents AHRC New York City’s mission regarding the education of children with autism, program guidelines for best practice, and the philosophy of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). AHRC NYC endorses an ABA approach that encourages incidental learning and spontaneity, educating the “whole child” and taking into account each child’s prior experience, temperament, frustration level, and support needs when planning his or her education program.
