Hi, I am Jessica
I am so glad you are here!
“Autism doesn't stop for your family, so I don't stop creating content for YOU!”
If you are like many of my clients, you have spent many long hours agonizing over the wellbeing of your child and frankly … the overall health of your family.
A study done at University of Wisconsin found that parents of autistic children are 10% more likely go get divorced. Other studies cite even higher numbers. Let’s face it — you love your child and at times, you either want to cry, pull your hair out or scream into your pillow.
Like other parents, you have probably spent countless dollars on occupational therapists, speech therapists, counselors and more. At times you have seen progress, and at other times, you may be feeling like you are backsliding.
I get it. My clients have all previously felt intense frustration. Who wouldn’t?
I want to commend you for reading this far, and let’s talk about how I can assist.

Our Core Values
At Hope Education Services We Believe
The more parents learn about Autism, the better their children do.
Our goal is always to support a child to be the best version of themselves while accepting them for who they are.
We believe in a holistic approach to education. We draw upon multiple modalities and collaborate with related professionals to ensure every child receives the highest quality service possible.
We understand that a family and not a child gets a diagnosis of Autism. We customize all of our approaches to meet each family’s culture and needs. We include parents, siblings and grandparents whenever possible.
How I Can Help
About Hope Education Services
Hope Education Services was founded in 2015 by Jessica Leichtweisz when she discovered that many parents around the world do not have access to the information they require to help their children affected by Autism.
Jessica completed a masters degree in special education from Manhattanville college and did her post graduate studies in applied behavior analysis (ABA) at Kaplan University. Jessica has been working with children with Autism since 2008.
Jessica believes that when you learn about a problem you can do 1 of 3 things.
You can do nothing.
You can complain about it.
You can do something to change it.
Hope Education Services was born to be the solution for you and your family.
Here at Hope Education Services we are committed to helping families all around the globe through virtual consultation and learn on demand courses.
We know that the Autism journey can feel scary and lonely at times. We have your back. We are on this journey with you.
Families I’ve Helped
I’m Monica MacDonald, 27 year old autistic, trained in ABA, over a decade of experience with autism. I met Jessica in a “support” style group for parents who have autistic kids. Since then I have watched many videos, read many blog posts created by Jessica, and had some really amazing conversations. She is the ONLY neurotypical person in my life who I feel REALLY understands that autism is JUST different, NOT less. I feel heard and understood and supported. Thank you Jessica for being such an amazing support to my community.
Being the parent of an autistic child can be a world of helplessness and frustration. Jessica’s easy to follow, common sense videos are a great way for parents to learn how to help their autistic kids develop the skills they will need to cope as adults. Thank you, Jessica!
I am FOREVER grateful for Jessica, she gave me the guidance I needed to start the process of getting services for my son. I know he wouldn’t be where he is today had I not gotten started so early.
Jessica was a lifesaver to our two young children with ASD. Through intensive one-on-one ABA therapy at a young age Jessica helped them blossom into happy intelligent older children with good friends. I would thoroughly recommend Jessica as an autism therapist.
“Jessica’s book is so easy to read and understand and I really feel like I can implement the guidelines she gives. After seeing her videos and reading her book, it’s as if I can hear her voice because that is how passionate she is about ABA.”
Jessica is as compassionate as she is Passionate about this Platform for Autism! She has a genuine love for people and helping educate others.
As a special needs Mom who is dedicated to providing resource to families, I find Jessica’s website and YouTube content extremely useful to our community. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable about the needs of our families, and dedicated to providing us with the necessary information and tools so we could be the best caregivers to our children!

Measurement systems are a vital part of Applied Behavioral Analysis. Without them we won’t be able to see the client’s process or functional control between the independent and dependent variables. If the wrong measurement system is used that means that a wrong dimension of behavior is measured which makes the data collected invalid. In this explanation, we discuss what accurate…
