Home - The Family Hope Center

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help children with neurodevelopmental disorders from around the world. We strive to improve children’s immediate quality of life and future potential. We also educate and empower parents to take a primary and active role in their children’s development. We believe in nurturing each child’s ability to engage the world.

We achieve our mission by:

Providing comprehensive evaluations of individuals with special needs
Creating individually- and developmentally-based home treatment plans sensitive to children’s specific needs and families’ specific circumstances
Partnering with, educating, and supporting parents in the implementation of practical, step-by-step home treatment plans
Fostering an environment where parents feel heard, where their opinions have significance, where they are treated as partners, and where they are perceived as experts of their child’s individual needs
Empowering parents to further educate themselves by utilizing the cumulative expertise of our diverse team of clinicians, physicians, therapists, and educators
Serving and educating an international population of families and healthcare professionals across the world

Vision

We envision a world in which individuals with disabilities are evaluated and described according to what they can do rather than a collection of symptoms or syndromes, and where parents are fully supported in realizing their goals for their children.

We advance our vision by:

Educating parents and professionals using a functionally-based, physiologically-informed, neurodevelopmental diagnostic model
Transforming the way individuals with disabilities and their families are treated and supported using a parent-centered, parent-driven therapeutic approach

Henriette C., Worcester, SA 2017,

“Thank you Matt & Carol and the Team for taking the time to teach this valuable info to parents. I feel confident to go home and begin implementing the protocols.”

Stephani D., Orlando FL 2017,

“Yes, yes, yes! I am very exciting to have a plan to really help my child. I love that you practice what you preach with lots of breaks and healthy food options. I love that FHC did all the hard work and shared it with us. My life will be different, my children will be different. This is life changing! Thank you for making it affordable to the masses. I will tell everybody about your seminars and programs.”

Jill E., Pennsylvania 2014,

“I truly hope this program grows within the U.K. as I can see benefits it could bring to many children here.”

Kevin P., Wallasey, Merseyside, UK 2014,

“Thank You! Your center and team are the answer to our prayers. We stopped feeling alone in wanting to heal our 2 children on day 1 of this conference.”

Kari R., Oklahoma 2014,

“Just a huge Thank You! To all the Team! You’ve taught us the basics that are simple to follow and execute at home!”

Deliana T., Johannesburg, South Africa 2017,

“The conference was not as ‘alternative’ or ‘crazy’ (or contrary to what I know to be good) as I expected. A lot of it is stuff I know if good for the body or my therapists already tell me to do, but it is way more organized with more repetition, which I know my son needs from experience. Now I have an organized plan with hope and belief that Ethan can get better.”

Karen P., Pennsylvania 2014,

“Thanks you for the encouragement and excitement to begin this new journey toward wellness.”

Patricia K., Gross Pointe, MI 2017,

“Thank you for empowering me to intervene and to heal; and start the process of restoration for my son. The Program is amazing!”

Litha A., Johannesburg, South Africa 2014,

“Just ‘Thank You’ for making me believe that I can help my little girl and know where to concentrate my efforts; knowing I can make a difference and that I have support along the way.”

Sarah E., Liverpool, UK 2015,

“I have new hope -- not just for my son, but for our whole family.”

Karina J., Denmark 2015,

“We had frustrations with ‘experts’ looking at isolated issues. I would try everything to help my daughter, and the attitude of focusing abilities is now our family motto! I was highly impressed by the professionalism, the passion and the humor - thank you! Your personal anecdotes and so much credibility, and your holistic approach convinced me. It exceeded my expectations!”

Sara S., Germany 2014,

“I’m a typical, cynical Brit, so I struggled to get my head around this. I had followed the advice of all the ‘traditional’ medics and accepted Megan’s fate (non-mobile, non-verbal, wheelchair bound, never capable of doing anything independant). I know now that I don’t have to accept this and feel terrible that I almost did that to her. It doesn’t have to be that way. Thank you!”

Helen D., United Kingdom 2015,

“Thank you so much for caring for our children, and even for us as parents. Thank you for being friendly, caring and positive. God Bless You!”

Marinda O., Mpumalanga, SA 2017,

“I am so grateful that I could have the opportunity to be here! I’ve learned so much and am going to share the good news/insight that I learned here. You are amazing!”
