At Discover Hope, our mission is to inspire pivotal growth and hope in the lives of children, their families, our community and our team.

We provide in home behavioral health treatment using the methodology of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). We are dedicated to providing a fun and caring work environment characterized by integrity and humility, which enables us to provide excellent services to our clients. Discover Hope is a private agency founded in 2012 to provide excellent services to children with Autism and related disorders a

nd their families in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our award-winning team uses the research based, proven principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to promote appropriate behavior such as communication, social skills, and independent living skills, and to decrease problem behaviors that interfere with a child’s ability to live a happy, successful, and independent life. Discover Hope emphasizes parent involvement and parent training to empower families to help their children succeed. INSPIRATION | At Discover Hope, we know that each child is unique and individual, and therefore every program is highly individualized to meet the needs of the child and their family. Discover Hope believes that inspiration and creativity are needed to motivate and teach children in a fun and exciting way, and we work to capitalize on teaching moments to make learning fun. GROWTH | Decades of research prove that ABA is a very effective treatment for people with autism. It is our joy to watch our clients learn and grow and progress! We believe there is nothing more rewarding than helping a child to say their first word, helping them make their first friend, or celebrating a clients’ graduation because they no longer need our services due to the incredible progress they have made. We also believe in personal growth, and our desire for every team member is that they will be a better person for having been a part of the Discover Hope family. HOPE | A diagnosis of autism or a related disorder can be devastating to a family. However, we know that there is hope! ABA services are very effective at treating the symptoms of autism. There are many different approaches and strategies under the umbrella of Applied Behavior Analysis, and if something is not working, we have many more techniques in our “bag of tricks” to try. We mix the science of ABA and the art of finding a child’s unique motivation and talents to help each child reach their full potential.

At Discover Hope, we Put People First because we know we couldn't help our clients without our incredible staff. We are so proud of them and feel so lucky that they have chosen to work with us. Our staff member spotlight this month is one of our Behavior Technicians: Erika!

❓ Why did you decide to work in the ABA field?
I worked many different jobs before this including restaurants and retail and never felt it was meaningful to me or that I was part of something valuable. When I heard about ABA, I knew it was the perfect place to start getting some experience in something psychology related and make a difference in the world.

❓ What do you love most about it?
There is so many positives about this job it’s hard to choose just one. If I had to pick one, I would say seeing the impact a good team can make on each kiddo and their families. There’s nothing like the pride you feel when a kiddo accomplishes something they have never done before! An honorable mention, these kiddos have me laughing and crying in all the best ways, you learn just as much from them as they do from you.

❓ What is the most challenging aspect of it?
Juggling so much both on and off the job. It’s important to go in everyday with your best effort and there’s definitely days where either you or your kiddo are not having the best day but you still have to give them 110% and leave everything else at the door.

❓ What would you tell someone who was thinking of going into this area?
During my first day of training, I heard this and it’s what I tell everyone who asks me if they should go into ABA; it’s not a job that’s just for a paycheck. If you go into it thinking it’s easy money, you will not succeed and will not give clients the effort they deserve. This requires job requires so much patience, dedication, time, energy, flexibility, passion, and silliness! That being said, it’s so worth it all to change these families lives.

❓ What do you do during your non work time?
I very much enjoy my alone time so I’m usually out running errands by myself and picking up some snacks or unnecessary purchases for myself. I also love being home and just recharging.

❓ What is your favorite movie or book and why?
I’m not a huge movie person, I usually forget the whole movie in a day or two but right now my favorite movies are the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, they’re so emotional and funny.

❓ Tell us one interesting or unique thing about you.
I packed up my life in LA and moved away from the only place I ever knew right out of high school when I was 17. I moved to the Bay Area with no money, no job, no family, just a college admission and hope! 3 years later, it’s the best decision I ever made!

At Discover Hope, we Put People First because we know we couldn't help our clients without our incredible staff. We are so proud of them and feel so lucky that they have chosen to work with us. Our staff member spotlight this month is one of our Behavior Technicians: Amber!

❓ Why did you decide to work in the ABA field?
I really enjoy helping others and spending time with kids. This job in the ABA field allowed me to both help others and learn new things.

❓ What do you love most about it?
What I love the most is bonding and having a connection with clients each session. Being able to help and see how far a client has come or achieve a goal makes me so happy.

❓ What is the most challenging aspect of it?
The most challenging aspect of this job is that not every session will run how you want it to. There are many times where I’ll realize things won’t go to plan and I’ll have to work around it.

❓ What would you tell someone who was thinking of going into this area?
I would tell someone who is interested in going into the field that they have to be patient and understanding, but also willing to learn new things. You’ll learn so many new things in the field and have different experiences with each kiddo you have in a session!

❓ What do you do during your non work time?
On my non-work time, I enjoy taking care of my bunny! I usually spend my time at home most days playing games/piano and cooking. However, I really love going out to shop or check out food hotspots with my friends.

❓ What is your favorite movie or book and why?
My favorite movie has to be “Up” which is a movie I grew up with since my childhood. The message of the movie shows the real adventure of life and how we sometimes lose sight of the things we have.

❓ Tell us one interesting or unique thing about you.
One interesting thing about me is that I’ve been playing piano for 15 years! I even have a Certification of Merit.
