“The test of a democracy
is not the magnificence
of buildings or the
speed of automobiles
or the efficiency of air
transportation, but rather
measured by the quality
of care given to the most
vulnerable people.”
Helen Keller
1935
It is an honor and privilege
for us
to lead LIFESPAN and watch all the children
and adults we support work toward reaching
their goals and realizing their dreams. The
exceptional employees of LIFESPAN work to
illuminate abilities in each of the 1,200 people
we serve throughout North Carolina.
improvement
Despite the economic recession and
the volatile mental health environment,
our programs have grown and not only
maintained their quality, they have
transformed for the better. We are proud
to announce that we now offer unique
curriculum-based training at our Creative
Campuses in Albemarle, Charlotte, Dobson
Greensboro, Monroe and Troutman. The
curriculum is taught in the classroom and
we then offer hands on training through
community activities.
growth
We developed and carried out a strategic
marketing plan that included growth in our
day programs. The result was the addition of
56 individuals. In Guilford County we added
75 new individuals through the acquisition
of case management services from another
nonprofit. Through our employment
programs we helped 55 adults secure jobs
where they will earn minimum wage or
higher.
support
This was an
extraordinary year
H. Leigh Derby president & ceo
with awards being granted from the Division
of Vocational Rehabilitation and The Rural
Center in Haywood County. The LIFESPAN
Arts Studio in Charlotte received a grant from
the Reemprise Fund that allowed five resident
artists to develop their own business to sell
their art and work toward self-sufficiency.
advocacy
LIFESPAN works independently and with
professional associations advocating for
systemic changes and improvements in
government funding. This work culminated
in a grassroots advocacy event in May with
over 100 program participants, family
members, and employees. In loaded vans and
cars, our delegation went to the NC General
Assembly in Raleigh to share concerns on
budget cuts. The group met with 21 NC state
representatives and was recognized in the full
assembly.
celebrate
We are proud of our significant
accomplishments and hope you will take
time to read through each page and become
familiar with all the programs we offer. Each
location is unique and reflects the character of
its community.
Join us as we celebrate 38 years of
mission driven service. Consider giving
a special celebration gift in honor of our
accomplishment. Together we can illuminate
abilities and offer opportunities to children
and adults with
intellectual and
developmental
disabilities and
their families.

best practice
LIFESPAN operates best
practice programs
A Best Practice
program is person
centered and provides
supports, education and
opportunities that allow a
person with intellectual or
developmental disabilities
to live in their communities
in ways that mirror the
lives of their neighbors and
friends.
Best practices are generallyaccepted, informallystandardized techniques,
methods or processes that
have proven themselves
over time to accomplish
given tasks. Often based
upon common sense, these
practices are commonly
used where
• no specific formal
methodology is in place
• the existing methodology
is in place
• the existing methodology
does not sufficiently
address the issue
The idea is that with proper
processes, checks and
testing, a desired outcome
can be delivered more
effectively with fewer
problems and unforeseen
complications. In addition,
a “best” practice can
evolve to become better
as improvements are
discovered.

Dustin learned the importance of volunteerism from his
mother and aunt. At LIFESPAN, Dustin expressed a desire
to become part of the community through volunteerism. Just
over three years ago staff at LIFESPAN began to help Dustin
find the perfect volunteer opportunities that would match
his interest and skills with the needs at Stanly Community
Christian Ministries—Community Table. Each week, Dustin
prepares and serves lunch with a smile to people in need
of a meal. With the assistance of LIFESPAN staff member
Deidra—together, they have a weekly route where they go to
Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Handy Mart to collect donated
food and deliver the items to Stanly County Christian
Ministry. He received recognition in the community for
delivering lunches through the Meals on Wheels program.
Dustin is achieving great success and has become an
important member of his community.

success story
Isabella was born with Spina bifida. The doctors
presented a gloomy list of things she would never do,
including walking and becoming toilet trained. In
the summer of 2010, Isabella joined the program and
began to thrive in our vibrant center where children
with developmental delays and those without—learn
together. She attends physical therapy at LIFESPAN.
Today, she is taking 5 to 6 steps and is walking with
crutches. The expectation is that she will soon achieve
full mobility—on her own! And, she requested to wear
“big girl panties” like her friends at school (Isabella is
being potty trained).

story
Rustin attends
LIFESPAN Creative
Campus Center City five
days a week. It was determined that Rustin had a greater
chance of overcoming obstacles and achieving specific goals
if he could get more individual attention rather than learning
from a group setting. LIFESPAN allocated funding for a
one-on-one enrichment specialist. In one year Rustin has
improved his social skills and uses verbal communication
more often with staff and his peers. He has made successful
strides in the art and horticulture programs, creating
artwork and pottery, as well as helping tend the vegetable
and flower gardens. Rustin was a vital part of the annual
plant sale, assisting in loading and unloading the plants, and
collecting money from buyers. Rustin loves the outdoors
and is spending much more time engaged in activities on
the sport court and going for walks in uptown Charlotte. He
is involved in recreation therapy and loves to ride his three
wheel bike. LIFESPAN staff gave much attention to Rustin’s
non-verbal communication and realized that through a plan
that involved individualized learning—Rustin’s abilities could
be illuminated.

story
Two years ago
Christina and her
mother relocated to
Charlotte and she joined the
unique CAET program. Christina’s
goals were to become involved in her community,
increase her job skills and meet new people. She
worked one-on-one with her Community Coach
to search for opportunities. Soon she began
volunteering at a nursing home, participated in
a bowling league, and attended compensatory
education classes. After graduating from CAET, she
became a participant in the Supported Employment
program. She began working with her Senior
Employment Specialist to find a job. Christina
obtained a job with Papa Johns doing light duties
and gained a reputation as the “Pizza Box Folder”.
Chris Shoaf, general manager at Papa Johns, boasts
that she has the “world record” in his store for
folding the most pizza boxes in one shift! Christina
states that she enjoys working at Papa Johns because
she likes having her own money and her manager
and co-workers are all very nice. Her next goal is
to advance her employment opportunities and
wants to work in a hospital as a laundry attendant.
She continues to work with her case manager, and
LIFESPAN’s Supported Employment team to
discuss options. LIFESPAN illuminated Christina’s
abilities and she explains that she is happy to have
received support through LIFESPAN and will most
remember the fun she had and the
new people she’s
met.

Tommy came to LIFESPAN many years ago with two
goals that included getting a driver’s license and a job
in the community. There were many stepping stones
along the way as he worked hard and persevered
through multiple challenges. Today, Tommy achieved
his goals, and drives to work everyday. On his last day
at the LIFESPAN program, Tommy informed the
staff and his peers that he would be back
as a volunteer – when he wasn’t
working at his
job!

Through Case
Management
Services—
LIFESPAN made a
huge difference in the
lives of Tommy and
his parents. Before our
case manager could begin
to work on the details of program
services that would offer Tommy opportunities, she had to
assist with some serious health and safety and quality of life
issues within his home. Tommy and his mom and dad lived in
a four room house with no central heating or air conditioning,
no working stove, and a bathroom that wasn’t accessible for
wheelchairs. Both Tommy and his father are in wheelchairs.
Tommy’s LIFESPAN case manager connected the family to
a community service agency
that provides appliances and
furniture. Several organizations
within the faith community came
out and painted the interior
and worked on a massive list of
home repairs. Doorways were

George finished high
school and then made a choice
to stay at home and not pursue community employment or day
activities. His days were spent watching TV and playing video
games. His parents knew he had much untapped potential and
found it frustrating watching him pulling away from society and
locking himself in a world that lacked challenges and reality.
Several months ago his parents brought him to LIFESPAN and
he agreed to enroll. Very quickly, George showed an interest
in the art program and
learned that he had
exceptional talent. He
has started his own
comic book series and
is working on several art
projects. Today, George
is no longer shy and
reserved—he actively
communicates with the
staff and is working on
social skills with
his peers.

success story
John came to LIFESPAN at age 3. His parents and
pediatrician were concerned about developmental delays
in speech, physical movements, and there were signs of
autism across the spectrum. LIFESPAN Circle School Mt.
Airy was John’s first preschool setting. The first few weeks
of school he adjusted well and seemed quiet. But, once
he became familiar with his environment—he became
inquisitive and full of energy. He loved to climb and run.
After consulting and working with occupational and
physical therapists, John was fitted with a weighted vest
that he wore for 20 minutes at a time to help him establish
his “personal space.” A weighted blanket was used for rest
time to cover his legs.
Next, the teachers began to work with John on learning
to drink from a straw and sit during meals. He was taught
how to follow a daily routine and to use physical and verbal
prompts to communicate.
Today, one year later, John enters school without
disruption and loves to be the greeter when guests visit his
classroom. He no longer wears his weighted vest or needs
to use the blanket. He loves to paint, write, and recognizes
his name in print and knows that the first letter of his name
is a “J”. He can count to 13, recognizes a few colors and
stays focused as he interacts and plays with his friends at
school. LIFESPAN staff offered opportunities, guidance
and instruction—John did the work and transformed
showing all his abilities.

Donovan came to LIFESPAN when he was 2 years old. After his
third birthday he was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
(EDS) a rare genetic disorder that affects the connective tissues.
EDS is a diagnosis shared by only 60 people worldwide. Each day
was a physical challenge for staff knowing that EDS can cause
Donovan’s joints to dislocate at any given moment and that he has
very little muscle tone. With physical therapy, parental involvement
and passionate, skilled teaching staff, Donovan learned to sit up,
walk, crawl, and participate in school activities. At age five he
graduated from LIFESPAN and progressed to a regular classroom
at the American Renaissance School.
Today, he comes back to LIFESPAN for the after school and
summer programs. The teachers continue to work with Donovan
on his mobility—with a goal of teaching him boundaries while
giving him full independence. Soon, Donovan will be arriving
with his new assistance dog named Shay. The dog will become
part of the classroom—helping
Donovan navigate his
way in a wheelchair
or walking.

Vicky
who is 27
years old
was referred
to LIFESPAN
through the NC
Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation for an evaluation.
She and her family were new to the area and eager to
become part of their community in Iredell County. At
the first evaluation when our evaluator asked Vicky
about her goals and dreams—she stated that she
wanted to get a job, move out of her parent’s home, and
live independently. Vicky has a very supportive family,
eager to help her reach her goals. The first step was to
polish up her job skills through job training. Next, she
quickly moved into the area of job development and
learned interview skills. Simultaneously, she found
safe and secure housing where she could thrive. Vicky
selected a group home where she could live with other
women.
Today, Vicky is happily employed at Wendy’s and is
recognized as an outstanding employee who is willing
to take on new tasks and additional responsibilities.
Within her home, Vicky has taken on the role of
“Momma.” She loves to be the
caregiver and leader of her new
family. When you see the smile
on Vicky’s face—it is evident
that the program of LIFESPAN
did an outstanding job of
illuminating her abilities.
success story
Lisa works hard everyday to expand her world. Just a few
years ago when she joined our program she confined
herself to the inside of our facility and was afraid to go
outside. When she was home—she also stayed inside.
Lisa had difficulty walking and had an overwhelming
fear of going outside and falling. She refused to go on
community outings with her friends. With assistance and
daily encouragement from a one-on-one staff member,
Lisa now goes shopping, volunteers to walk to the
mailbox and check the LIFESPAN mail, and walks over to
visit folks at LIFESPAN Employment Troutman. Lisa did
the physical and sometimes painful work that enabled her
to gain strength and mobility. Each day she takes a leap of
faith and trusts her LIFESPAN support staff to guide her
outside and keep her safe.
Stop by the program and ask to meet Lisa—you will be
greeted by a very friendly lady with a bright smile who
will be anxious to tell you about all the new places she has
discovered. No longer is she confined to a small world
with four walls.

Hazel is 68 years old and attends LIFESPAN
Creative Campus during the day and
lives in the community in a LIFESPAN
supported residence. Unfortunately, she was
institutionalized at a young age and didn’t
receive an education beyond age six. Hazel
came to LIFESPAN a few years ago and our
staff began to work on illuminating her abilities.
The support team guided her as she selected
a family and a home where she felt safe and
secure. Hazel learned to write and is staying
connected to her biological family through
letter writing. Hazel volunteers at the Salvation
Army, Old Armory Recreation Center and at
her church. She is an active participant in the art
program. Hazel is flourishing in her life due to
the opportunities presented at LIFESPAN.
Nancy and Gerald White
We enrolled our son at LIFESPAN in
Charlotte over thirty-five years ago. Today,
he lives in LIFESPAN’s residential
program and attends a day enrichment
center. Our long-term support plans
include making significant annual
donations. We are members of the Jack
and Claire Durkin Planned Giving
Society and have made a provision to
leave a legacy in honor of our son, and
the community of children and adults with
intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Although we are from Charlotte, we are leaving a
legacy in Greensboro through a gift naming opportunity—
the building is named the Skeet White Enrichment Center.
Marie and Al Kalapinski
We have been donors, volunteers and advocates for
LIFESPAN for over twenty years. We are
members of the Jack and Claire Durkin
Planned Giving Society and made
significant contributions to the recent
campaigns. It is our wish to continue
advocating for and contributing to the
programs of LIFESPAN to help people
with intellectual and developmental
disabilities. Through our giving we
are honored to have the gift shop at the
Greensboro facility named in memory of our
daughter Cristina.

In June, LIFESPAN Arts held “Access” Art Show and
Reception to showcase new work in a new way. This event
was the region’s first mobile enhanced art show using QR
codes that were scanned using smart phones or camera
enabled mobile devices, to increase interactivity with the
artwork. Guests were encouraged to download the free
barcode scanning app, ScanLife, prior to the show. The show
was funded by a grant from the Reemprise Fund, which
enabled artists from LIFESPAN Arts to partner with affiliate
artists and mentors from the McColl Center for Visual
Arts. During the year, mentors and advisors introduced
LIFESPAN artists to new mediums, provided support with
writing a business plan and assisted with preparation for
various regional art shows.
LIFESPAN Arts serves adults with intellectual and
developmental disabilities in a creative setting that allows
artists to create artwork in a nurturing and encouraging
environment. The goal of LIFESPAN Arts is to illuminate
abilities in the artists while assisting them
in becoming financially independent
by supporting them with selling
their artwork, promoting their
skills, and introducing them to the
art community in Charlotte and
surrounding areas.
