Gail Powell, Executive Director at High Hopes Development Center shares, “We are so grateful for 20 years of support to Hats Off to High Hopes from our friends in the music industry. They have helped us provide vital, life-changing therapies to children helping them learn to walk, talk, dress and feed themselves, even though it was thought they might never accomplish these feats.” Last year alone, over 800 children from 22 Middle Tennessee counties benefited from 22,472 physical/occupational/speech/feeding therapies provided by the High Hopes Therapy Clinic and 132,678 hours of instructional education and nurturing through the High Hopes Inclusive Preschool.
High Hopes Development Center is a 33-year old non-profit organization that loves, nurtures, and educates children with two integrated programs helping each child reach their maximum potential. Children ages 6 weeks to Pre-K, with and without special needs, are educated together in inclusive preschool classrooms by a team of experienced teachers supporting the individual needs of each child. High Hopes also offers an on-site pediatric therapy clinic, allowing children with special needs to receive their needed therapy services during the preschool day. High Hopes is truly unique in the way that children with and without special needs such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and various developmental delays play, learn, and grow together every day. The outpatient pediatric therapy clinic provides occupational, speech, physical and feeding therapies to children from birth to 21 years. High Hopes gives children of all intellectual, physical and mental abilities the opportunity to learn and grow together in an environment that provides a strong foundation for future academic and social success. The mission of High Hopes Development Center is to equip children, youth, and their families with the skills necessary to achieve success through education, therapeutic services, and loving support.
