Hope Academy for Autism's
Athletics
Hope Academy is partnered up with Special Olympics Arizona. Working with Special Olympics Arizona provides our students of all abilities the same opportunities to advance in core developmental milestones. Our students learn leadership, confidence, collaboration, resilience, teamwork, and respect for others. Building these skills helps our students in different areas of life: physically, emotionally, socially, and academically.
Basketball
The Basketball program helps students learn to participate in organized sports, offers opportunities to read social cues, coordinate and connect with others, and develop relationships with their teammates.
Bowling
The Bowling program supports our students in developing crucial gross motor skills such as throwing/rolling, hand-eye coordination, and depth perception. In addition, our students learn at times we win, and we lose, but just like the game we take on life slow and steady; one step at a time to eliminate obstacles as they flourish.
