About Hope 4 Hanna
Hope 4 Hanna was started in May 2008 by its founding board members: Justin Alderson, Kristen Alderson, Joshua Belden, and Lene` Belden. The inspiration for their vision is Johanna ("Hanna") Belden, who was diagnosed in October 2006 with Autistic Disorder shortly after her second birthday.
The mission of Hope 4 Hanna is to help create a less challenging road for families dealing with the disorder. Once diagnosed, every child with autism faces a set of new expectations and responsibilities including, but not limited to behavioral and biomedical interventions, occupational and speech therapies, dietary restrictions, individual education planning, specialized playdates and socialization classes.
