The "Hahn-Hufford Center of Hope" is named in honor of our co-founders: Ruth Hahn and Gloria Hufford, for their vision and dedication.

The Afterschool 10-week Intensive Neurodevelopmental Program will begin January 23, 2012. The program, which has been offered for seven years, is specifically designed to address the unique needs of 6 to 10 year old elementary students who are displaying delays and difficulties in their current academic setting. These children are in the early stages of their educational journey and can benefit the most from an intervention at this early age. The program is open to children residing in the Miami and surrounding counties.

The purpose of the after school program is to provide an innovative, proven and effective series of neurodevelopmental activities that are designed to improve neurological organization of each participant. As neurological organization improves academic performance will ultimately improve.

Anticipated outcomes may include improvements with focus, concentration, coordination, social skills, and academic performance and increased self-esteem.

According to Beverly Mikolajewski, Program Coordinator, it is so amazing when the children see their improvements and can identify those areas. The children, themselves, report that “School is better”, “My math and spelling grades are better”, “I am able to get my homework done without it being such a huge problem”, “I am happier”, and “I can read is better”.

The 10-week program will consist of 2-hour sessions per day, 4 days per week. Services will be provided in a group setting. The sessions are scheduled from 3:30 PM-5:30 PM Monday through Thursday. With significant grant funding received, the entire program fee is $200. Registrations are currently being accepted.
