Terms and Conditions

Acceptance of Terms

By using this website or engaging with services offered by The Clinic of Hope, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website and services.

Informational Use Only

Information provided on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical, psychological, or legal advice. Use of this website does not establish a provider client relationship. Clinical services are only provided after completion of required intake, consent, and service agreements.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Applied Behavior Analysis ABA therapy is an evidence based service; however, outcomes vary by individual. The Clinic of Hope does not guarantee specific results, progress, or outcomes. Progress depends on multiple factors including attendance, participation, consistency, and individual needs.

Clinical Decision Making

All clinical decisions, including treatment recommendations, goals, service levels, and program modifications, are determined by qualified Board Certified Behavior Analysts using assessments, data, professional judgment, and ethical standards. Services may be modified or discontinued when clinically appropriate.

Parent and Caregiver Responsibilities

Parents and caregivers are responsible for providing accurate information and supporting recommended strategies. The Clinic of Hope is not responsible for limited progress resulting from missed sessions, inconsistent attendance, or lack of follow through outside of therapy sessions.

Assumption of Risk

ABA therapy may involve play based activities, movement, skill practice, and interaction with materials or peers. While reasonable safety precautions are taken, participation involves inherent risks. By enrolling in services, parents and caregivers acknowledge and accept these risks. The Clinic of Hope is not liable for minor injuries, emotional responses, or incidental occurrences unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
