    Every day Heartspringis making a dierencein the lives o childrenwith special needs. Evenmore remarkable is theimpact that Heartspringhas on the lives o thechildren and amilies weserve even ater theyleave our programs.This was made evidentat our 75th AnniversaryGala when ormer clients Jennier Bish and Beth Sneed,and a current parent shared stories o how their liveswere orever changed as a result o receiving services atHeartspring. Their powerul words struck a chord withsta, parents, donors and board members in attendance,

    and we were once again reminded o the importance oour work at Heartspring.

    Celebrating our 75th anniversary allowed us to refecton our storied past, but also motivated us to take aserious look at the uture o our programs and how wecan best serve the children to whom we are dedicated.During the last several years, we have seen an increasein enrollments rom states across the nation where wepreviously had not received reerrals, and the numbero students rom Kansas and surrounding states hassignicantly grown, including local students enrolledin our day school program. In our last scal year, theHeartspring School was at or near capacity, we providedten percent more services to children in our outpatienttherapy programs, and we were able to provide otherchildren with autism within our community with neededresources and activities as well as support or theiramilies. Additionally, more teachers traveled to Wichitarom around the world to learn rom us, returning to theirhome countries to share their newound knowledge withothers. Despite a downturn in the economy, Heartspringdonor support has remained strong and participation in

    our special events has increased. But there are potentialnew challenges on the horizon and over the course o thelast year we established a strategic plan that will guideus into the uture.

    It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.We hope you keep that in mind as you look throughSnapshots o our success. We are so proud o thework being done at Heartspring and are ever grateul oryour support.

    It is easy to all in love with your work when your work is dened by the people youserve. The CARE (Community o Autism Resources and Education) Program has evolvedinto an actual community, however it is much more than a place or resources andeducation. The CARE Program is now dened by hundreds o amazing individuals andamilies who seek to be a part o a community that takes on the challenges o havingan autism spectrum disorder each and every day.

    Through programs such as Camp SSTAR and SSTAR Scouts, the CARE Program hasbecome, as one parent shared, A place where my son can be himsel without judgmentalongside others just like him who want the same thingsomeone to call riend. Eachsummer or the past three years, Camp SSTAR has been a part o enhancing lives andcreating bridges o success or individuals and amilies. Working on various projectsthat acilitate pro-social behavior, Camp SSTAR and SSTAR Scouts have the sameprimary goal. As we work through various mediums such as art, science, specialinterests, technology, and leisure time activities, our goal is to cultivate appropriatesocial skills, communication skills, sel-regulation skills and organizational skills witheach individual. As individuals meet their goals, each outcome becomes our measureo success or the CARE Program. More and more individuals now have the tools tolive happier, more ullling lives at home, in school, and in their community.

    My oldest son Preston is 12 years old

    and is a high functioning autistic. He

    was expelled from the school he

    was attending for behavioral issues

    last year. He now attends a publicschool nearby. My other two sons

    told Preston about a place in Europe

    or South America that has a stream

    that has healing powers. Prestons

    brother Ben excitedly suggested that

    we take Preston there to cure him of

    his Autism. Preston confidently stated

    the truth as he knows it, Why w

    want to cure a gift? Immediate

    bumps were followed by happy

    tears. Wow. Preston has been to

    CARE Walks and he went to CaSSTAR last summer. Before that,

    Filled with singing, dancing and skits,the holiday program, which is open tothe public, showcases the hard worko Heartspring students, led by musicspecialist, Verlene Warner, who hasdedicated 31 years o service to theHeartspring School.

    From an educational perspective, this year was extremely productive and successul orthe Heartspring School. At a time when school districts all across the nation were makingrecord breaking cuts in stang and unding o programs and services, Heartspring,rom a client and services standpoint, had to assume a position to wait and see howthese cuts would aect our organization as a service provider to many dierent stateschool districts. Heartspring was able to meet this challenge and maintain the number ostudents enrolled because o the quality o services and expertise that we provide toour students.

    Over the school year the Heartspring classrooms had many successes. Classroomssuccessully implemented the TEACCH structured curriculum model or the deliveryo instruction to students, and the educational department played a key role in the

    successul completion o the Heartspring programs and transitions o ve students toadult services, workshops and residential placements. All o the students at Heartspringexperienced their own unique and individual achievements during the last school year.

    Overall the educational program at Heartspring has been blessed with wonderul andhard working students, supportive parents and school districts, and also with committedteachers, specialists and direct care sta. Heartspring was a great place to be in 2009-10 and Heartspring will continue to be a great place next year because even though theyears may change and students may leave to meet dierent challenges and expectations,the goals, standards and proessional commitments will stay the same and thosegoals, standards and commitments will always be driven by what is best practice orHeartspring students.

    OMMUNITY BASED LEARNING

    Heartsprings residential program was busy during the 2009-10 year. Across the nation,many schools like Heartspring have aced nancial hardships due to the economicdownturn and have had to adjust how they deliver services. Here at Heartspring, due to allo the hard work and eort by our sta, we have been able to avoid some o these issues.During the last year, we were able to keep our homes ully staed and maintain a highquality level o services. For most o the year all o our beds were ull, meaning we had48 students living here at Heartspring in one o our six group homes, as well as going toschool on campus. In January o 2010, we increased the number o residential students to51 with the opening o our o campus home, Group Home 7 (G7), which is a duplex thathas three bedrooms and three bathrooms, located approximately three miles rom campus.

    The sta working in our group homes continued to improve the lives o our students by

    helping them gain as much independence as possible in their daily lives outside o theclassroom. Our students work on sel-care and independence skills and enjoy a lot ooutings on the weeknights and weekends. We take advantage o many opportunitiesgiven to us by being located in Wichita. It is very important or our students to be ableto generalize the skills and tools they learn at Heartspring in a home and communitysetting. That is why we teach sel-care skills, home management skills, and accessing thecommunity on a regular basis.

    Paraeducators in the group homes work with the sta in the classrooms to ensure aconsistent delivery o quality services to our students. We look orward to being able tocontinue delivering such services to our students in the residential setting with the help oall the Heartspring sta and the resources o the greater Wichita area.

    Paraeducators inthe group homeswork very hardwith those inthe classroomsto ensure aconsistent deliveryof quality servicesto our students.

    But because o the incredible generosity o the individuals, groups, oundations andbusinesses that support our mission, we were able to continue to support all the childrenand amilies who depend on us. In a year when most nonprots saw donations decline by

    nine percent, our donations held steady with a slight increase rom the previous year. Weare extremely grateul to be part o a antastic community that genuinely cares about thevery special children that we serve.

    Participation in our special events including PedalFest, Lights on the Lake and The AutismCARE Walk at Heartspring continues to increase, raising not only unds or our programs,but also awareness or children with special needs.
