What is a developmental home?  A developmental home is a home in which an individual or family has agreed to become licensed, and to provide a variety of interventions to consumers to help integrate them into their home and community.

   
Who are the consumers?  Consumers placed in developmental homes through Fostering Hope have various needs.  They all have a developmental disability that may include: epilepsy, cerebral palsy, cognitive disability or autism.  Some are children who have also suffered abuse and neglect.  Many are adults that have lived in group homes or other restrictive settings.

 
What are the benefits of being a provider?   There are many benefits of being a developmental home provider.  Each provider has the ability to make a positive impact on the life of a child or adult with special needs, can work in their own home,  has opportunities to network with other professionals in the field, and can make a substantial income – tax free!

Why choose Fostering Hope?  Providing supports for a person with a developmental disability can be very rewarding and at the same time quite challenging.   Therefore, it is important for a developmental home provider to have the assistance and support of an agency like Fostering Hope.  We will advise you in the licensing process, assisting you with the necessary forms and documents.  We will offer you flexible training to work around your schedule.  Once licensed and trained, we will facilitate in matching your unique skills and abilities to the individual needs and preferences of a person with a developmental disability who is interested in a family home environment.  Once a successful placement has been made we will meet with you and the consumer regularly to discuss any issues or concerns.  Working as a team, we will plan strategies for successful goals and outcomes.  We are available 24/7 for after hour needs and emergencies.  We are dedicated to enriching the lives of those with developmental disabilities and those that serve them.
