The family had struggled for years with
7-year-old Allison’s Prader-Willi Syndrome
and was in crisis when they brought her to
Pittsburgh. Dad Alan returned to work while
mom Holly and baby Claire, 15 months, stayed
at Heasley House, The Children’s Institute’s
courtesy facility for families.
Claire’s developmental delays required
therapies the family had postponed to come to
Pittsburgh — but The Children’s Institute staff
knew the postponement wasn’t beneficial, so
they arranged treatment. Claire was diagnosed,
treatment was initiated — and soon the tot who
hadn’t been close to walking was zipping
around with her tiny new walker.
Meanwhile, Allie’s treatment team
diagnosed her with several serious
conditions in addition to her Prader-Willi
Syndrome. “No doctor back home had done
that, but here they did — and they knew
how to help,” says Holly.
Before Allie’s discharge five months later,
it was clear that, although she had greatly
improved, the family would need help caring
for her — so staff partnered with Holly and
Alan to advocate vigorously for the care.
That level of family-centered care isn’t
accidental — it’s a century-old tradition
recently formalized to ensure that every child
and family receives services that are expert,
collaborative and respectful.
“A lot of places talk about family-centered
care — but The Children’s Institute makes it
happen,” says Holly Desmore. “There’s no
place else like it in the world.”

THE HOSPITAL
AT TH E CH IL D REN ’S I N STI TUTE
With treatment at The Children’s Institute,
Vanden is now happily eating and drinking
a good portion of his meals.
Little Vanden Bickar, 14 months, was
nourished only through a feeding tube. He
had refractory epilepsy and developed
further problems that left him unable to take
a single sip or bite.
Vanden was referred to the region’s most
comprehensive Functional Feeding Program
Health issues left little Vanden Bickar
unable to take a single sip to drink or a tiny
bite to eat.
— at The Children’s Institute. The program
offers inpatient and outpatient options, and
Vanden needed the intensity of inpatient
treatment. A multidisciplinary team —
physicians, nurses, speech/language
pathologists, physical and occupational
therapists and nutritionists — evaluated the
toddler and developed a treatment plan.
(Behavioral psychologists are part of the
team when appropriate).
Treatment began with techniques to work
on Vanden’s lip closure and on the skills
involved in moving food around in the
mouth and chewing it. The team — including
Vanden’s family — also worked on Vanden’s
motor skills, some of them related to feeding
issues and some because prior hospitalizations
had led to developmental delays.
In Uncompensated Care FY 2012
Gradually, as the team worked with Vanden
several times daily, he began to be able to
take liquids, and eventually solids, by mouth.
And by his discharge eight weeks later, he
was happily eating and drinking a good
portion of his daily calories.
Today Vanden is an outpatient at The
Children’s Institute’s Bridgeville satellite. His
mom, Alissa Bickar, says, “The program has
been extraordinary, with great communication
and family involvement. Vanden is exceeding
expectations, and we can’t thank The
Children’s Institute enough.”
Improving Swallow Studies
Often a first step in diagnosing feeding
problems is a “modified barium swallow
study,” a radiology procedure that shows a
child’s swallow as it happens.
At The Children’s Institute, the studies
are child-friendly: the child is acclimated to
the room beforehand, family members are
present to give the child the food containing
the barium, and the studies are done via a
“C arm” that can be positioned around a high
chair in which the child sits comfortably. It
adds up to relaxed kids that remain relaxed
during the process — and successful studies.
Hospital Earns Rare
Accreditations
Healing Injured
Young Brains
The Hospital at The Children’s Institute has
received three coveted accreditations — and a
compliment — from CARF, the independent
international Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities.
Accreditations include: Comprehensive
Inpatient Rehabilitation Pediatric Specialty
Program (there are only 32 in the country; no
other in Pennsylvania); Inpatient Brain Injury
Rehabilitation Pediatric Specialty Program (seven
in the country; no other in Pennsylvania); and
Outpatient Rehabilitation — Single Service
Pediatric Specialty Program (38 in the country;
one other in Pennsylvania).
CARF has also praised the Center for
Prader-Willi Syndrome, a Children’s Institute of
Pittsburgh Center of Excellence.
Ivory Heard, 20, suffered a traumatic brain
injury in a terrible auto accident. Months of
treatment in acute-care hospitals saved her life,
but Ivory was still nearly comatose, unable to
respond, breathing on a ventilator and being fed
through a tube. Her next-step alternatives: a
nursing home — or The Children’s Institute.
Her family chose the Center for Acquired Brain
Injury Rehabilitation, a Children’s Institute of
Pittsburgh Center of Excellence, whose intensive
treatment and rehabilitation program was created to
help people like Ivory get their lives back.
Over Ivory’s five-month stay, physicians, nurses,
physical and occupational therapists, speech/language
pathologists, psychologists and nutritionists worked
intensively with her, aided by her loving family.
By the time she was discharged, Ivory was
walking with assistance and her personality was
shining through. Today she continues to make
progress through outpatient therapies and looks
forward to returning to school. Her mom, Kelly,
says, “We made the right choice: The Children’s
Institute was the only place for her to be.”
Commission on Accreditation
of Rehabilitation Facilities
RND and “Tough Love”
Fifteen-year-old Kenna was in excruciating
pain. Her doctors in Texas were unsure how to
treat her reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND)
— so they referred her to the Pain Rehabilitation
Program at The Children’s Institute.
RND is marked by disproportionately severe —
even excruciating — pain following an injury.
Paradoxically, successful treatment involves
intensive physical and occupational therapies that
exercise the affected areas. Psychological counseling
and biofeedback help patients manage stress.
Over her eight-week stay, Kenna improved
remarkably. “We had a wonderful experience
there,” says Kenna’s mom, Vicki Faust. She
smiles and adds, “The therapists do ‘tough love’
in a nurturing and effective way.”
While many patients benefit from an inpatient
stay, some families in the region said they want their
kids to continue in school while receiving treatment.
In response, The Children’s Institute launched a
new late-afternoon scheduling program. Begun at
the main Squirrel Hill campus, the
late-afternoon scheduling model is so
successful that it will expand to the
Norwin Hills satellite later this year.
The Hospital at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh is
of only 20 freestanding pediatric
rehabilitation specialty hospitals in the country. And the only one in Pennsylvania.
Using the Mind
to Control the Body
Biofeedback, in which the
mind is trained to control body
functions that are normally
involuntary, can be a powerful
treatment tool. It typically
involves linking the patient to a
computer — through sensors on
the fingers or head — and having
the patient practice focusing his
or her mind to control objects
on the screen.
Biofeedback sounds like
magic, but it works as patients
learn to control their heart rate,
breathing, skin conductance and
even brainwaves and brain blood
flow. Biofeedback is often used
with patients who have RND
and with others who’d benefit
from learning relaxation
techniques to manage stress
and pain. In the Autism Service,
biofeedback is used to help
young patients increase their
attention and focus.
Most patients succeed at
biofeedback — and most enjoy
the process.
Experience That Works for Kids
Helping Kids Breathe
and Grow
For therapists at The Hospital at The Children’s Institute,
education + experience = expertise.
Most good healthcare institutions
can manage the medical care of kids
who depend on ventilators to help them
breathe — but The Children’s Institute
offers more: it helps the kids catch up
developmentally.
Three-year-old Svana McCool of Brookville is a
chubby-cheeked child born with significant health
problems. One of her surgeries left her on a vent and
deconditioned enough that she couldn’t even hold her
head up or grasp objects.
Svana came to The Children’s Institute, and over
a two-month stay, excellent medical and nursing
care plus intensive physical, occupational and
speech/language therapies helped her become
a playful little girl again, even able to toddle
around with a portable vent.
Along the way, her family members learned
the at-home care for her complicated
equipment. “The staff was patient and wonderful
with us,” says mom Rachael McCool.
“We’re so glad we went there.”

Concussions
The Children’s Institute’s Outpatient
Concussion Management Program treats
children and young people from preschool
through college age. Drawing on the
expertise of the Hospital’s Center for Brain
Injury Rehabilitation, a Children’s Institute
of Pittsburgh Center of Excellence, the
multidisciplinary team helps patients
cope with symptoms that can be both
physical (for example, headaches and
balance problems) and cognitive (for
instance, inattention).
The team works with patients and
parents to structure a safe return-to-activities
schedule, and, when appropriate, advises
patients’ schools about necessary curriculum
modifications. The ultimate goal: to help
the patient regain his or her optimal level
of function as quickly as possible.
Outpatient medical and therapy services are
also offered at three satellite sites in Wexford,
Bridgeville and Norwin Hills.
THE DAY SCHOOL
The Day School at The Children’s Institute
is individualizing technology, enabling our
students to be more independent.
A student at The Day School, Brent has
severe cerebral palsy that necessitates the
use of a wheelchair. His most effective and
controlled motions are with his head.
“Learning to manage leisure is important
for everyone, but it’s not easy for young
people with significant disabilities,” says
Cheryl Fogarty, EdD, Chief School

players, it’s no big deal. But it’s a very big deal
when Brent Smalstig,19, rocks the house.
Administrator. “So, particularly as our
students get older, we focus on helping them
move toward independence in leisure.”
Brent had become adept with his
augmentative communication device,
making selections by inclining his head
leftward onto a padded switch. The reliable
but slow process involved scanning through
multiple options; that took time, but it let
Brent converse by choosing what the
computer would say for him.
Then a new-generation device offered
more capability. So Brent’s teacher, the
school’s lead physical therapist, the staff
rehabilitation engineer, and Pitt’s Rehabilitation
Engineering Department — a longtime research
partner — collaborated to figure out how to
help Brent use the device for his leisure.
They outfitted Brent with a high-tech
marvel: a tiny sensor that can adhere to his
forehead, and on his device a little camera
that sees where the sensor is pointing.
It took a lot of painstaking practice, but
now Brent looks at his device’s screen and
moves his head, making a selection simply
by pointing the sensor at whatever he wants
— for instance, Springsteen’s “Glory Days.”
Brent’s device can also read e-books,
and soon the staff will load his favorite videos.
Kathy Smalstig, Brent’s mom, says,
“Being able to entertain ourselves is a
lifelong skill. The Day School wants Brent
to have the quality of
life his father and
I want for him, and
they’re caring and
Students in
expert enough to help

him achieve that.”
Using Technology to Go Back in Time
Have you ever wished you could easily identify the triggers
for a child’s sudden behavior? Teachers at The Day School
are working on doing exactly that.
In some classrooms for students with
autism, The Day School is piloting “behavior
imaging” technology. When a puzzling
behavior occurs, the technology records it
— and, when the teacher hits a button on a
remote, the system’s buffering capability
shows not only the behavior but also
what occurred in the minutes before it.
“Seeing what preceded the behavior
helps us understand the cause,” says Cheryl
Fogarty, Chief School Administrator,
“and that understanding informs ongoing
intervention and treatment.”
The use of behavior imaging technology
is also being explored in the professional
development of teachers and others working
with children who have autism. The videos
can also be shared with the students’ families
and physicians, demonstrating behaviors
better than words could.
School Districts
Provide Feedback
New Curriculum
Moves Ahead
The Day School’s new District Advisory Panel
brings representatives from ten southwestern
Pennsylvania school districts together twice a
year to provide feedback about The Day School’s
programming and services and to make
recommendations about future activities.
The purpose of the Panel is to help ensure that
The Day School provides students with education
and skills relevant to the communities in which
the students live. Each school district provides the
funding for its students who attend The Day School
— so it’s essential to include representative
districts’ input about both current and future
programming and services.
This year, The Day School continued
creating its own curriculum focusing on
assessment.
The components of standardized
assessment instruments are often not
detailed enough to reflect the incremental
developmental progress of students with
significant disabilities. Without that detail,
it’s difficult to determine whether progress
is being made and what the “next steps”
should be.
The Day School has adapted
standardized assessment instruments and
developed its own literacy screening tool.
By color-coding the steps in each student’s
progress, teachers, parents and school
district representatives can readily see the
gains students make each school year.
The Day School plans to make the
entire new curriculum available to other
schools when it’s complete.

Special Olympics
For the first time last year, The Day School
hosted its own Special Olympics track and
field meet. More than 50 students competed in
both regulation and adapted events.
The large parking lot at The Children’s
Institute was transformed with lane
markings, cooling tents, daises for medalists,
refreshment tables, judges’ perches, areas for
spectators, and (of course) an Olympic torch.
The event earned rave reviews from kids,
families and staff.

PROJECT STAR
700 kids, ages 10 through 21,
are still in foster care or group homes
across Pennsylvania.
How Zach found a “Forever Family.”
The tidy Hermitage home of the Long
family looks typical: three kids and their
friends zooming in and out, laughing,
grabbing snacks and talking about school.
But the Longs are unusual because the
oldest child, 14-year-old Zach, is the newest
addition to the family.
Zach — an outgoing kid with a great
smile — was adopted through the Older
Child Matching Initiative (OCMI) — a
statewide program with which Project STAR
works to find “forever families” for older
kids who are traditionally less likely to
be adopted.
Terri and Jonah Long had two younger
kids — both adopted — but wanted a larger
family. Terri met Zach, who had been in
foster care in Johnstown, at a special
matching event — and they clicked. Terri
smiles as she recalls, “Jonah was working
out of town. I called him and said, ‘I think
I’ve met our son!”
After discussion with each other, Project
STAR and the agency responsible for Zach
— plus a lot of thought and prayer — the
Longs arranged for Zach to visit for a
weekend … and he’s never left.
Today the Longs are a close, happy,
multicultural family. Zach is delighted
with his role as big brother to Allie, 7,
and Trenton, 4 — and the younger
kids are crazy about him.
But across Pennsylvania, 700
kids, ages 10 through 21, are still in foster
care or group homes waiting for their own
forever families.
If you have room in your home and your
heart to consider adopting an older child,

412.244.3083 or rum@the-institute.org.
Family Visitation
Center Gets
Rave Reviews
Project STAR’s new Family Visitation
Center, part of the Center for Family Visitation,
a Children’s Institute Center of Excellence,
is receiving high usage — and great reviews.
The Center’s purpose: to provide a
homelike space that families can use for
their court-ordered supervised visitations.
Two adjacent houses on The Children’s
Institute’s Squirrel Hill campus were
remodeled and
joined to create
the new facility.

settings. But Walter H. Smith Jr., PhD,
Integrated Program Initiatives Manager for
the Allegheny County Department of Human
Services, says, “Families working to
recreate or support bonds do best when the
setting encourages ordinary activities like
preparing something to eat or sitting on the
couch reading a story.
“We believe the Project STAR Family
Visitation Center is an excellent model. It
raises the standard, and one of our goals in
the future is to find ways to support what The
Children’s Institute does around visitation.”
Program Helps
Parents and Teens
“We’ve learned a lot about ourselves as well
as our children.”
That’s a father talking about Teaming
Together with Teens (TTT), a program in
which Project STAR partners with Beaver
County Children and Youth Services.
The purpose: to help parents and their
teenage kids experiencing conflict learn
mutual understanding and to help parents
learn to respond productively to teens.
Two groups — with teens facilitated
by CYS and parents facilitated by Project
STAR — meet every other week over
a meal. Typical meeting topics include
anger management, bullying and social
media safety.
Between meetings, Project STAR
caseworkers spend time with parents in the
family home, working on family-specific
issues. Kristin Lee, Project STAR
Permanency Specialist and TTT Program
Director, says, “Many families simply need
to brainstorm and problem-solve while for
others we recommend additional supports.”
Some families self-refer to the program,
and some are referred by CYS.
In TTT’s first year, just ended, 93%
of parents reported that their participation
helped them feel better prepared to handle
their teens’ behaviors; 68% reported
improved use of non-aggressive
consequences when teens didn’t follow
rules; and 67% increased rewards for teens
who complied with rules.

Kylie was a very sick baby. Hospitalized
since her birth in New Jersey, and with
parents unable to care for her, she was
brought to Pittsburgh for treatment at

stepped in — and asked the Schnupp
family of Brighton Township to step up.
“We were blessed with five healthy
children and wanted to help a child who
wasn’t so healthy,” says Mike Schnupp.
So while Kylie underwent treatment
and multiple extensive therapies at
The Hospital at The Children’s
Institute, Mike and his wife Amie
learned how to care for Kylie, who
went home as their foster child.
The excellent healthcare in the
hospitals and at home, plus lots of
love from her foster parents and
siblings, produced remarkable
results: The Schnupps

Creating Knowledge
Sharing Knowledge
Children’s Institute Researchers Develop New “Best Practices”
Staff Members Lead in Professional Development
Some people are surprised to learn that
The Children’s Institute, a relatively small
organization, has a research program that is
robust, comprehensive — and successful.
Long a collaborator with researchers at
universities and colleges, The Children’s
Institute launched its own program two
years ago. A highly respected research
manager, Roxann Diez Gross, PhD, joined
the staff, and The Children’s Institute’s own
Institutional Research Board (IRB) was
formed. An IRB is a formally structured
committee, regulated by the US
Department of Health and Human Services
and the Food and Drug Administration, that
carefully evaluates proposed research
projects with close attention to legal and
ethical issues.
The Children’s Institute’s research focus
is translational — aimed at developing
evidence-based “best practices.” Today there
are nearly two dozen studies in the pipeline
from design, to data collection, analysis
and completion. Principal investigators
are staff professionals collaborating
across a wide range of disciplines.
The studies, which involve not only The
Hospital, but The Day School and Project
STAR, include, for example: the development
of ways to reduce the occurrence of
pressure sores in patients with spinal cord
injuries; examination of the swallowing
function in patients with Prader-Willi
Syndrome; using collaborative robot
play to improve the communication
skills of students who have
augmentative communication
devices; and determining whether,
and to what degree, family visitation
is more productive in a
homelike setting.
Most projects are
accomplished in partnership
with other research
institutions — for instance,
University of Pittsburgh,
Carnegie Mellon,
Duquesne, Chatham, Drexel and Slippery
Rock — while some are fully independent.
When studies are completed, Children’s
Institute researchers share the newly
developed knowledge through conference
presentations, professional meetings
and publications.
Members of the staff of The Children’s Institute continually share their professional expertise with
colleagues in the region and across the country. Presentations at conferences and meetings, leadership
in organizations that advocate and inform, and teaching tomorrow’s professionals are all activities that
ultimately benefit kids and families everywhere.

Shaping
the Future
The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh
will be a nationally and internationally
recognized leader in the provision of
family-centered care and coordination
of services for children and youth with
special needs and for any child needing
rehabilitation services.
The hallmark of The Children’s
Institute’s legacy will continue to be an
unwavering commitment to these children
and their families.
The New
Strategic
Plan
Today The Children’s Institute of
Pittsburgh is a recognized leader in pediatric
rehabilitation, the education of students with
significant special needs and social services
that build and strengthen families.
The challenge, of course, is to ensure that
the organization will still be able to serve
kids and families tomorrow.
How to do that? Through an energetic and
meticulous strategic planning process that
helps position The Children’s Institute to
respond productively to challenges in
healthcare, education and social services.
The Children’s Institute recently
completed “Vision 2016,” a strategic plan
resulting from 18 months of intensive work.
Led by the Board of Directors, and with
participation throughout the organization —
including families of young patients and
students — the plan provides a detailed road
map to a sound organizational future.
“Vision 2016” lays out
four overarching
strategic objectives:
1. Establish The Children’s Institute
as the leader in innovative and
integrated care and education
delivery models for children and
youth with special healthcare needs.
Each of the overarching objectives has
associated sub-objectives, and the plan
outlines the tactics and resources needed to
meet the objectives.
The Children’s Institute’s Board,
management, and staff are now “working
the plan.” We have created five Centers of
Excellence and each is working to heighten
its impact through the framework specified
in the plan.
• Center for Acquired Brain Injury
2. Establish and enhance “Centers
of Excellence,” which adhere to
a framework that includes
expertise/best practices; continuity
of care; family-centered focus;
results/outcomes; knowledge
sharing; research; advocacy; and
external affirmation.
3. Provide comprehensive permanency
and family support services.
Rehabilitation
• Center for Autism
• Center for Family Visitation
• Center for Prader-Willi Syndrome
• Center for Spinal Cord Injury
Rehabilitation
The end result of making the plan a
reality will be that The Children's Institute
will be able to do even more to benefit
children and families.
4. Continue to develop organizational
capability to ensure sustainability of
the mission.
Financial Review
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Net Service Revenue
OF THE CHILDREN’S INSTITUTE
During Fiscal 2012 service-related operating revenues
increased approximately $2 million or 5 percent. All
client-related reimbursements reflected no increase in
payment for service. This was a direct result of the
increase in client services, the majority of which was
related to hospital outpatient activity. Because of this
increase in client services along with expenses related
to electronic health record implementation, operating
expenses increased by approximately $2 million.
Also, total assets decreased by $5 million as a direct
result of investment activity correlating to the financial
market involvement.

Garden, which blazes with color
in warm weather, was transformed

with an East End alternative to
the traditional Downtown
seasonal lighting celebration.
