In a world where nearly 1 in 6 children in the U.S. lives with a developmental disability, the obstacles families face can seem insurmountable. From managing therapy appointments and specialized education to finding time for daily life, the burden often becomes overwhelming. The Hope in Motion movement seeks to change this reality—not just by building a campus, but by transforming the entire system of care into a gold standard that supports families every step of the way.
The Reality for Families
The current system presents a daunting maze of services and logistics. According to the CDC, approximately 15% of children aged 3 to 17 years have a developmental disability. These children require comprehensive support, including specialized childcare, education, and a range of therapies. For families, navigating these essential services across multiple locations can create immense strain:
Financial Burden: Covering the cost of various services can be financially draining, forcing families to make difficult decisions about their child’s care.
Time Constraints: Coordinating numerous appointments often feels like a full-time job, leaving little room for work, self-care, or time with other family members.
Emotional Toll: The stress of juggling so many aspects of care can leave parents emotionally exhausted, impacting their well-being and their ability to fully support their child’s development.
The Vision Behind Hope in Motion
The Hope in Motion movement is more than just a response to these challenges; it’s a reimagining of how care should be delivered. We’re building a revolutionary new campus, establishing a program of comprehensive family support services, and setting a new gold standard in care that reaches across our entire organization. Here’s what the future holds:
Integrated Care Under One Roof: Our state-of-the-art campus will provide childcare, education, therapies, and family services all in one central location, streamlining the process for families.
Professional Collaboration: Dedicated teams of therapists, educators, and caregivers will work closely together, offering a coordinated and personalized approach that addresses the needs of the whole child.
Family-Centered Support Services: Beyond clinical care, the movement extends to include resources, education, and emotional support for families, alleviating stress and allowing them to focus on their child’s growth and well-being.
Why Hope in Motion Matters
This movement is about more than meeting the immediate needs of families. It’s about setting a new standard for care that inspires change across the nation:
Innovation in Care: Hope in Motion will serve as a groundbreaking model of integrated, family-centered care that could reshape how similar programs are developed nationwide.
Holistic Approach: By addressing all aspects of a child’s life—from therapy and education to family dynamics—we aim to deliver outcomes that go far beyond traditional care.
Scalability and Inspiration: The success of this movement has the potential to inspire the creation of similar facilities across the country, expanding access to this comprehensive care model.
