History

Established in 2006.

Barbara Robinson served as a caseworker and long term care program investigator for more than 20 years; and with the support of her husband Melvin and her son Damian (and later, her daughter, Tiffany), she worked to establish Point of Hope. Because of Barbara’s extensive work in the disabilities field, the family went into this project wielding substantial firsthand experience coupled with high standards.

The mission of Point of Hope is to support individuals with intellectual disabilities, brain injuries, and neurological impairments in achieving their dreams and personal goals with dignity, compassion, and distinction.
