This can result in feelings of hopelessness that often go unheard and unseen. A Hope and A Future provides the support needed to strengthen the wings of weary hearts.

​​What is a developmental challenge?

A developmental challenge is a broad term to describe a disorder or condition that is pervasive during childhood development and continues into adulthood. Many people who struggle with developmental challenges don't feel that their lives are worth living.

Examples of developmental challenges include:

• Adverse Childhood Experiences
• Attention Deficits
• Executive Functioning Deficits
• Social Difficulties
• Sensory Difficulties
• Learning Difficulties
• Speech or Language Delays
• Down Syndrome
• Cerebral Palsy
• Other developmental or learning delays
