Hope is a leader in the development of new methods to educate, treat and care for children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. Through its programs it aspires to provide state-of-the-art services in the most inclusive environment to encourage them to fulfill their individual potential through evidencebased treatment, advocacy and community education. On Saturday it will host Hopeapalooza, a festival that offers fun for the whole family, plus an opportunity to learn more about its programs. The event will feature a bubble bus, inflatables, Wild Times Exotic Zoo, a gaming truck, hay rides and a variety stage. Autism Support of Central Illinois is joining in and will host a sensory play tent filled with crafts, carnival games and sensory bin activities. Food trucks will be on hand and several bands are lined up to provide live music. This free and inclusive event is open to the public.
