Echoing Hope Ranch’s (EHR’s) mission is growth, discovery and lifelong learning in safe and respectful homes and communities for adults and teens with autism and other developmental disabilities. The guiding philosophy of Echoing Hope is to acknowledge each person as a dynamic human being and to help them build full and satisfying lives. Each individual with autism has a unique set of skills and strengths. Identifying these strengths, developing them and putting them to use creates a greater quality of life whether it is in the pride of taking care of and living in a comfortable home, participating in a social environment, or contributing through volunteering or working in their community.
