Hope Learning Center
Serving Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum
HLC charges monthly tuition (September through May) for its program. We strive to keep tuition reasonable, and scholarship money can be applied for if there is a financial need. While we desire to serve all students on the spectrum, we know not every student is appropriate for our program. Our admissions criteria, expectations, and program offerings are below. We accept students throughout the year provided there is space in the group. As part of the admissions process, we ask that the prospective student and parent(s) visit an HLC Open House or have a private visit. After both the student and a parent complete the questionnaires below, HLC will contact you to schedule an interview. There is a $100 Intake Interview Fee which is non-refundable.
