Teens with disabilities thankful for gifts of friendships, fresh air and freedom
The air is turning cooler now, and it won’t be long before Christmas is here. Rich
with joy, meaning and memories, this time of year has a special place in my heart. It is colorful and festive here at the Anne Carlsen Center, and we want to thank you for a beautiful present that was unwrapped a bit early. Too large to fit into a box, it looks like this: Splashes of color on flowers of every description. A sparkling, spring-fed lake. Rolling hills dotted with evergreens and cottonwoods. While this may sound like a tranquil scene captured on canvas, it is the picture-perfect setting for Anne Carlsen Center’s week-long summer camp.
Every summer, in conjunction with Elks Camp Grassick, the Center—with your support—gives teenagers with highly complex disabilities memorable, sensory-rich experiences in a beautiful setting. Camp Grassick, five miles south of Dawson, N.D., offers more than just a scenic location on the sunny south shore of Lake Isabel.
There are 32 buildings, including a craft shop, recreation hall and
dining hall, that are fully accessible and connected by sidewalks. Highly-
trained ACC staff and Elks Camp Grassick counselors provide assistance,
therapy and activities to meet each individual’s needs. Perfect weather
this summer allowed campers to enjoy summer camp staples like hayrides, bonfires, swimming in the lake, and riding (and in some cases, even driving!) a pontoon.
With so much outdoor fun, the name of this camp—TechnoCamp—may surprise you at first, until you learn more. With assistive technology and adaptive equipment incorporated into the entire camp experience, there are a variety of tools that make a big difference for these teens. Campers this summer used a wide range of technology to create art, photography, videos and music; facilitate communication with staff and fellow campers; and participate fully in the entire camp experience. No camper gets left on the sidelines!
You should have seen the smiles as campers used adapted cameras to capture memorable scenes from camp. Some snapped photos by touching the screens of iPads mounted to their wheelchairs. Campers then used iPads and computers to edit their photos and create artwork from those images. In the recreation hall, campers created a large mural using paint rollers and brushes mounted on wheelchairs. Difficulties with mobility, coordination or fine motor skills didn’t stop these teens from creating a visual masterpiece!
Appropriately, the theme this summer was Accessing the Artist Within. TechnoCamp Coordinator Mark Coppin, who is also ACC’s Assistive Technology Director, has created

Commitment to Care
a program by the same name to inspire individuals with disabilities to express themselves artistically, provide them with information about assistive technologies, and offer a venue to showcase their abilities. Through this program, artwork from Techno- Camp—as well as pieces submitted by artists around the country—will be on display in October at an international adaptive equipment conference in Minneapolis, Minn.
What a joy it is to see these artists shine! As they express themselves through art, they build independence and self-confidence, while making friendships that will last a lifetime. On page 7 of this issue, we’ll share more highlights from this year’s TechnoCamp.
Support from our donors helps make one-of- a-kind opportunities like these possible all year long. Your gifts are joyfully unwrapped and greatly appreciated, as the individuals we serve dream, discover and reach their full potential.
With gratitude,
Eric MonsonChief Executive OfficerAnne Carlsen Center
Commitment to care is something the Anne Carlsen Center (ACC) continually strives for. To ensure the highest quality of services and supports, the Center has been working on a variety of steps to
become accredited through the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL).
The Center recently completed the final leg of the Quality Measures that were established by CQL in 2005. This multi-year accreditation program focuses on a variety of aspects of care, including five components: shared values, basic assurances, responsive services, personal outcome measures, and community life.
“Each year, CQL takes a look at areas to work on,” says ACC Chief Operating Officer Marcia Gums. “On this past visit, the surveyor thought we were doing a terrific job. We can all be proud of the work we do in supporting people.”
The Center continues to work with CQL and will begin a new review cycle in 2012. This cycle will again focus on person-centered care, along with community connections, the workforce, supports and services.
In the process, ACC will be further challenged to assess and discover more deeply or broadly in understanding an individual and their needs or desires.
“Discovery is a continuous process. People change through experiences, learning or life events. The support or service provider (ACC) keeps up with that change so that a person’s supports and services can change in response,” explains one piece of CQL literature.
Each time the Center reaches a new plateau of care, we are providing better care for students like Marissa … or clients like Brock. Our care helps the remarkable individuals we serve create connections with their communities and craft lives of greater independence.
More information can be found about CQL at www.thecouncil.org. You can learn about the services the Anne Carlsen Center provides in Jamestown and in communities in North Dakota by visiting www.annecenter.org.
The Faces of Assistive Technology Today’s technology is changing and evolving at a rapid pace — adapting to the needs of the different individuals who use it daily. They are no longer devices that have the stigma of being assistive devices; instead they are consumer technologies, devices that can be bought by anyone. The devices are getting smaller and more powerful. They are mobile, multi-purpose and have accessibility features built directly into them. Today’s new faces of assistive technology include
iPod touch and iPad devices. These are small, portable devices that have a user interface or screen that is touch activated. These small, yet user friendly devices, empower the individuals who use them to make their own choices and to communicate within all environments — not just their lives at the Center. “Six years ago we just started using laptops. A year ago we had nine iPads and iPod’s. Now we’re more mobile than ever,” says Assistive Technology Director Mark Coppin.
ACC’s Continuing Commitment ACC has always had a commitment to assistive technology and we
continue to strive in providing individuals with as much freedom
and independence as possible. In doing so, we know the training we provide
to our educators is just as important as the devices themselves.
At the beginning of this school year, we integrated 30 iPad2 devices into our
classrooms. With the implementation of these devices, teachers were required to develop a project specifically addressing student needs. This allowed individuals with different needs to use these devices more effectively and provide a true state-of-the-art learning and educational experience for our students.
Technology in and outside of the ClassroomThis year at the Center’s campus in Jamestown, we are implementing a 1:1 initiative technology ratio which will mean one device for every student. We know education and learning doesn’t happen just within the walls of the Jamestown Campus — learning takes place all around us. For those individuals we serve outside of the campus, KIDS Infant Development Program coordinators and Community Services employees across the state are being trained on these new assistive technologies. This training will allow the individuals we serve the ability to stay in their home, or home communities, and have the same opportunities as the individuals we serve through the Jamestown Campus ... all while learning and being impacted by these latest and greatest devices.
A year from now, who knows where technology will bring us. One thing is for certain, the Anne Carlsen Center will stay committed to advancing not only with the technology, but also with the individuals we serve as we continue “Nurturing abilities. Changing lives.”

The NEW ace of Technology
Journey back into time just 10 years ago… a time when the desktop computer emerged as a powerful tool for assistive technology. Fast forward five years later, and it was the laptop computers. Now, the latest technology lies in the iPad and iPod touches — allowing our students greater independence and mobility. Children can look you in the eye, and use a device to say “hi” as you walk by. A parent or caregiver can now bring their child home and communicate with them — just the same as if they were at the Center’s Jamestown Campus. This is the new face of technology, and the Anne Carlsen Center has a commitment to sharing it. This, combined with our expertise and care, make an impact on every individual we serve.

have such an immediate impact as the iPad has,” says Coppin.
Cade is a little boy who has always had a fascination with machinery and technology, making the iPad suitable to Cade’s interests. By slowly incorporating the iPad into daily routines, Cade has made strides never before seen by his parents. Unable to communicate his desires to others, Cade would commonly bite his hand in frustration. Now, he uses his iPad to communicate with his teachers and parents. “Cade is calmer and more motivated to learn,” says Missy.
Finding a VoiceIn addition to communication purposes, Cade uses his iPad for a variety of other areas including entertainment and learning. He is now reading, spelling and doing math — all on his iPad. “He is reading and recognizing words. We now just need to pull it out of him,” says Missy.
The iPad is easy to use and is useful for students who struggle with reading, speaking and activating communication devices. Currently there are over 50 different communication applications available for the iPad. This includes the application Proloquo2Go — an app that allows users to select images representing words on the device which will in turn speak it for them … a program Cade himself uses. “It’s a voice. It’s their voice. And it’s affordable to the point that many kids have the capability of owning it,” says Missy.
Cade’s progress since being at ACC brings tears to his mother’s eyes when she thinks of what he has accomplished. At only 9 years old, Cade is already learning the working world. Being the machinist he is, Cade weekly vacuums a local convenience store’s rugs, communicating with staff independently though his iPad. The payment for a job well done…? Balloons and doughnuts! “Cade has made a lot of strides since being at ACC,” says Jay. “They were there to teach him and help us learn how to help teach him as well,” says Jay. “He understands how to work the iPad better than I do.”
Cade now has his sparkling smile back.

Since childhood, Cade was a bright, smiling young boy, who loved being active. But when he was about 20 months old, his parents, Missy and Jay, started noticing changes. Cade was having troubles with walking and talking, giving the Brademeyer’s warning signs that something could be wrong. By age 5, Cade was diagnosed with autism and apraxia (a lack of motor planning).
A Guiding LightAfter being recommended to the Anne Carlsen Center, both Missy and Jay found ACC to be more suitable for Cade’s needs and knew they would work with him and treat him as an individual. By age six, Cade enrolled at ACC’s Jamestown Campus, along with
receiving In-Home supports, and the Brademeyer’s have never looked back. “The ACC was a blessing during a time when we felt as though life was falling apart. Over the past 3 years, the ACC has been guiding, teaching, and has respected us as parents,” said Missy.
For many years, the Brademeyer’s tried using different communication devices with Cade, but he never found a long-term answer to meet his needs. Soon after enrolling, ACC’s Assistive Technology Director Mark Coppin recommended a new device for Cade to use in his development. A small, sleek and mobile device that has shown promising results for students similar to Cade. That device was the iPad. “I have never seen a piece of technology
very day our dedicated ACC employees see how much assistive technology has influenced the lives of the individuals we serve. But for the parents, caregivers and individuals not at the Center, many may not know the impact it can make in the life of a child — especially for one particular boy: Cade Brademeyer.

We all have owned, or seen, what we think is a piece of priceless artwork designed by a famous artist. But for some of the students at the Center,
it’s not a piece they own, or a piece they’ve seen, it’s a piece they created, with their name listed as the artist. At the Center, we call the program Accessing the Artist Within.
Accessing the Artist Within is a time for children, teens, young adults and adults to showcase what can sometimes be a hidden talent: painting, making videos, editing music, any form of art you can imagine. In only its third year of existence, Accessing the Artist Within started as an adapted activity at ACC sponsored TechnoCamp that is held at Elks Camp Grassick every year. “The purpose of Accessing the Artist Within is to give kids the opportunity to be creative though tech supports, and to show people what these kids are doing using assistive technologies for everyone to appreciate their work,” says Assistive Technology Director Mark Coppin.
And what better place for these inspired students to showcase their adapted art than at Closing the Gap, an international conference for assistive technology; held in Minneapolis every year. “We want to take it to the next step and tell the story of what the kids can do, and how they are able to be creative in their art,” says Coppin.
The Makings of a MasterpieceDwayne Szot, an artist from Michigan knows how to empower others to create art on a grand scale. Imagine an everyday wheelchair. Then add an arm extended off the front seat, paint rollers to the bottom, a couple buckets of paint, and a canvas as large as a gym. What could you create?
Now imagine a golf ball returner. With a tilt of the head a child could flip a switch, watch paint balls flow through the adaptive machine and fly onto a blank canvas - making art in the moment.
Say you’re a music composer. You can create and edit music your way with the combination of adaptive keyboards, microphones and software applications such as Garage Band. And who knows, maybe you can even sell a few copies of your new single on iTunes!
The possibilities are endless with the Accessing the Artist Within program. “The kids love their art so much that sometimes they don’t even want us to borrow it for display,” says Coppin.
There isn’t a time of the year that many of our
students enjoy more than the week they spend at TehcnoCamp held at Elks Camp Grassick. But what makes TechnoCamp so special every year? Aside from the individuals that attend, assistive technology opens doors of opportunities for campers to embark on the TechnoCamp adventure.
Every year kids look forward to camp for a variety of reasons…feeling the cool water splash on their sun- kissed faces as they swim in the lake … taking thousands of photos of the natural landscapes and the smiling faces of their friends … designing artwork pieces as large as a gymnasium. All of this is possible thanks to state-of-the-art assistive technology and the staff from the Anne Carlsen Center who make it possible.
The Addition of TechnologiesWith technology getting smaller and more powerful, campers are more mobile than ever. With the simple touch of a screen, or a single voice command, they can capture the colors of a setting sun through the cameras on an iPad.
With other applications, they can edit the picture and turn it into a work of art.
With adapted boards, a micro-phone, and soft-ware built into the computer, campers can transform an ordinary room into a radio station. This allows one young man to create a radio podcast, for the first time, and broadcast events happening at camp.
Adapted camera mounts and video cameras, which are switch adapted, can turn a room filled with equipment into a TV station … all operated by the students for the first time.
Endless OpportunitiesFrom digital photo shoots to video editing … from designing art with adaptive equipment to publishing podcasts … from a TV station to a radio station. This year’s 2011 TechnoCamp brought endless, remarkable opportunities. We’re already starting to plan next year’s camp and how we can empower our campers toward greater independence.

c o m m u n i t y PartnersEach year the Anne Carlsen Center partners with area businesses who—like the Center—want to empower individuals to reach greater heights of independence.
This year, 11 businesses are helping to further the tradition the Center began 70 years ago. Through cooperation, awareness and compassion, we are all improving the lives of individuals of all abilities.
“The dedication our Community Partners show is tremendous,” said ACC Chief Executive Officer Eric Monson. “The relationships we have made over the years … there is no way to attribute a value to them except to say it is truly humbling and amazing.”
Community Services – Matt Bielke
Donors opened there hearts to many Anne Carlsen Center clients earlier this year, donating to further the Community Services program.
They wanted to help individuals like Matt … a 21-year-old who lives
— and works — in Fargo. Matt knows just how much he has to offer his community, and through your help we are showing just how much a person can accomplish.
Matt’s life is thick with independence and success. We have empowered him through our unique combination of caring and expertise — Matt is providing the determination — and with your support, we are reaching new heights each day.
Golf Tournament
Thank you to all of the sponsors, players and volunteers for making the 29th Annual Anne Carlsen Center Golf Benefit a huge success.
The golf tournament, the longest-running of its kind in North Dakota, helps to raise money
that allows teens with disabilities from all over North Dakota attend TechnoCamp each summer. This camp is a partnering effort between the Anne Carlsen Center and Elks Camp Grassick, combining traditional summer camp activities and access to cutting edge assistive technology and adaptive equipment.
This year’s camp focus was on art, as campers utilized equipment that could be adapted to all abilities. This equipment allowed these teens to unleash their inner artist and create unique pieces of art masterpieces.
Back to School Appeal – Tierrany Eagle
Tierrany is one of many students attending classes at the Anne Carlsen Center, who has access to cutting-edge approaches to learning.
These approaches include learning through the use of equipment that
can provide a ‘voice’ for someone who is non-verbal, teach new skills and techniques for learning, and empower an individual to connect with his or her environment.
We live in an exciting time when changes occur almost daily. But, each day the Anne Carlsen Center remains dedicated to providing the individuals we serve with unique experiences and opportunities to succeed.
Thanksgiving Appeal – Chaplaincy
It is only through the generosity of our donors that the Anne Carlsen Center can provide the kind of holistic care that makes a real difference in the lives of the remarkable individuals we serve.
Through our Chaplaincy program, we are able to provide spiritual nourishment for our students, clients, their family members and the staff who serves them.
Each day the Anne Carlsen Center is making the world a little more accessible for individuals of all abilities to enjoy.
Christmas Appeal
Due to complex medical needs, our most medically-fragile students at the Anne Carlsen Center need a wide variety of equipment to make many day-to-day activities easier — or sometimes just to make them possible.
Your generosity this holiday season is helping to make the difference for children and adults served by ACC. Your gift ensures we can continue to provide nurturing care for some of the state’s most vulnerable population.
Together, we can make sure that students can attend class to learn about their favorite subjects, receive therapy, go to weekly chapel services, or plant seedlings in our solarium. We can expand horizons and make a real difference in the lives of the remarkable individuals we serve.
The difference you’ve made in the lives of our students
