Developmental Services

Overview


The services we provide for individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities represent the roots of where Hope Network began almost 50 years ago -- recognizing that each individual has value, and focusing on their abilities, not disabilities.  While the heart of our mission hasn't changed, our services have evolved to benefit each individual we serve.  Today, we provide skill building and community inclusion to introduce consumers into the community and experience life alongside individuals with various abilities, not in a secluded setting.  A Micro Enterprise program offers unique opportunities for budding entrepreneurs; our residential programs offer 24-hour care for those who are unable to live on their own; and additional supports are available for people who may need minimal assistance to live independently.
