Children’s Services Centre Annual Report 2009 - 2010 Children‛s Services Centre 4826 47th Street, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada T4N 1R2 Phone: 403-340-2606 Fax: 403-340-2615 www.childrenservices.ca WHO WE ARE CSC has spent 25 years supporting children with special needs to reach their full potential. The Centre began thanks to the determination of a small group of parents and professionals. They had a vision for a local development centre that would offer assessment, diagnostic and intervention services to children with special needs that would involve the family in all aspects of services. CSC continues to live by this vision today. Over the past 25 years we have had the opportunity to connect with countless families, professionals, educators and community providers. Their stories have touched us and their lives have impacted how we’ve grown over the years. CSC began as one program offering services to 30 children and families. We now serve over 250 children with complex and severe needs and touch over 2000 people with our services, resources and training annually. CSC strives to offer evidenced-based programs and services that are family-centered. Innovation, quality and professionalism are of the upmost importance in the delivery of our specialized programs. CSC is committed to being responsive to community needs by addressing gaps in supports and services to children with special needs. MISSION Highlights Some highlights from the past year include: • Expanding our Snoezelen space to offer expanded sensory opportunities to more children. • Collaborating with Red Deer College to extend the training offered to distant learners through videoconference technology. • Teaming up with the Central Alberta FASD Network to ensure that CSC therapists became specialized in conducting Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) diagnostic clinics. • Partnering with the Autism Follow Clinic at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital to offer a oneday workshop for parents to learn more about the unique challenges of parenting teenagers with Autism. • Working with the Tetra Society to create adapted equipment to meet the needs of children in our programs. Children’s Services Centre is a non-profit child development centre and community resource assisting children with special needs to reach their full potential. VISION An exceptional place for exceptional children. 2 Children’s Services Centre is a non-profit child development centre and community resource assisting children with special needs to reach their full potential. “My family was once a recipient of the services offered by Children’s Services Centre and because of the untiring support and expertise of all the different allied professionals that makes up the team, my daughter is thriving well in the school where she is at right now. Her disability doesn’t even stand out among the children in the class and this is because of the early intervention that she received from CSC.” — Cora www.childrenservices.ca 2009 - 2010 BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOARD CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT As a parent with a daughter who has a rare syndrome, I was recently sitting in a room with other parents from Alberta tasked with dealing with the future of our little association. We were doing a brain storming activity which consisted of letting our imaginations wander, without limitations, of how we saw our organization, what we would like to be and represent for Albertans with the same disability. I had a sudden jolt, a “frisson” up my spine, a vision of other concerned parents long ago, wanting something better, something local for their special children. I actually, for a moment, was able to see and feel the past of another organization with which I am very involved. Jill Hockin Chairperson Kitty Parlby Vice Chairperson Wayne Doan Past Chairperson Bob Leger Secretary/Treasurer Christine Bettesworth Director Wanda Cassidy Director Catherine Clennett Director Jackie D’Costa Director Amanda Ens Director Marc Leduc Director Kim McCallister Director Laurie Quist Director From left to right: Catherine Clennett, Amanda Ens, Christine Bettesworth, Laurie Quist, Wanda Cassidy, Robert Leger, Jill Hockin, Kitty Parlby, Marc Leduc , Jackie D’Costa, Kim McCallister, Linda Smith, Wayne Doan "Being a member of the Board of Governors has been a wonderful learning experience. It has been, at times, very challenging as we undertook grand new ventures such as buildings and mortgages, new buses, new visions for our future, and perennial tight yet creative budgeting. Always we have reinforced each other with a vision of progress and wholeness for our children and their families. It is a passionate, committed group of like-minded souls who comprise our Board, and I am honoured to have been among such a fine crew." — Wayne Doan, Past Chairperson Highlights • The Directors participated in Board Development sessions to set priorities for their work. As a result, Board recruitment strategies and processes were developed to ensure skilled and experienced individuals are added to the Board on an annual basis. • The Board unanimously agreed to move forward with proposed advancement activities. Their commitment enables CSC to move forward with program development, marketing and fund development initiatives. • Board members were tireless volunteers at several of our special events. Jackie D’Costa not only headed the Cake Committee for Evening of Decadent Dessert, she contributed a delicious birthday cake for CSC’s 25th year. • Two members of the Executive Committee, Jill Hockin and Wayne Doan, sat on the Strategic Planning Committee. Inspiring Possibilities has been the theme of this 25th commemorative year at Children’s Services Centre. I wonder if the original group of parents, from those 25 plus years ago, could ever have imagined the CSC of today. From a vision in someone’s living room it grew into a program offering services to 36 families. Today it is a child development centre and community resource that serves over 250 children with complex and severe needs and touches over 2000 family and community members with services, resources and training. Just the building is a wonder to behold with its 3 floors buzzing with activity, energy and possibilities from the smallest of clients to the administration looking ahead to an even bigger and brighter future. Could the original founding families have imagined this place? Can we imagine what the next 5, 10, 25 years will bring? It is the goal of the Board of Directors to work with the amazing staff of CSC to support the mission of assisting children with special needs to reach their full potential. In August we attended a Board Development workshop and continue that work in order to enhance our role in the ultimate function of CSC. In the spring of 2010, we came to the realization that to maintain the essential services and to broaden what occurs daily at CSC, operations had to be reorganized to ensure sustainable funding. In order to truly reach our ever growing population, we cannot rely on government funding alone. Fund raising has been an integral part of running the centre but was always seen as an “extra” piece added onto other jobs resulting in a big question mark for budget planning. The recent creation of the “Advancement Team” has added another facet to the workings of the centre. Its role is to explore the “business” side of CSC and the expansion of our programs, resources and educational outreach. Taking care of business enables the child focused side of the centre to exist and flourish. We are on the cusp of change as the Advancement Team forges ahead into new domains to ensure our development and capacity building in the future. With this organization, I am now able to sit and let my imagination wander, without limitations. With constant growth, technological advances, a motivated team and the most incredible cliental, we can only begin to imagine the possibilities of our exceptional place for exceptional children. Jill Hockin 4 Children’s Services Centre is a non-profit child development centre and community resource assisting children with special needs to reach their full potential. www.childrenservices.ca EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT 25 years of supporting children to reach their potential! What a milestone to reflect upon and celebrate! CSC opened in May 1985 with one program offering assessment and follow up services to 36 children and their families. This year the Centre operated 4 core programs, 3 additional services and many other initiatives that touched over 2000 children, families and community partners. At the Welcome Back Breakfast in September, three individuals who were integral to the creation of CSC, Marg Gummow, Sandee Birse and Wayne Doan, spoke to staff about the expectations and efforts that resulted in both the start up and long term direction of CSC’s philosophy and service delivery. Their words helped staff to understand where CSC came from in order to know better where we need to go in the future. As for development in 2009-2010, the Snoezelen Room was expanded through the efforts of Jan Gervais, EASE Occupational Therapist, and others. New pieces of equipment were added including a cart to allow apparatus to be moved around the Centre for use in the various classrooms and the gym. Many more children can now have sensory experiences to enhance their learning and development. The staff also worked with the Tetra Society to create adapted equipment for CSC children for learning and recreational activities. Yoga activities were incorporated into EASE programming and 2 staff, Melanie Harris, physical therapist and Twyla Galisky, rehab assistant, trained in a 4 day Radiant Child Yoga course. Their efforts enabled CSC to offer yoga groups for CSC and community children in which adaptations and accommodations can be made. Feedback about the benefits of yoga for the children has been very positive from both parents and staff. A number of professional wellness activities were initiated for CSC staff in 2009-2010. Beginning in September, about half of the staff were provided with regular reflective coaching sessions with JoAnne Hayden or Lori Jack. These sessions allowed staff opportunities to reflect on both their CSC and personal responsibilities. After winter break, a team development process was begun to help individuals and teams better understand and improve their functioning. These 2 initiatives, reflective practice and team development sessions, were introduced to enhance staff wellness and will be expanded upon in future years. In the spring, Evening of Decadent Dessert provided opportunities for former families and staff to get together. The original 6 staff, Fay Dionne, Sue Mitchell, Terryl Makuk, Dwaine Souveny, Rosemary Calverley and myself, reminisced about the first several years of CSC. We reflected on the strength and integrity of the founding families’ beliefs that enabled the services and programs at CSC to grow. Also at Evening of Decadent Dessert, the CSC Storybook was introduced. The storybook is filled with heartwarming and inspirational stories from families who share their experiences at CSC. Some of the families were involved 20 or more years ago and others as recent as this past year. Each story speaks to the impact CSC has had in helping children with special needs develop and providing training and support to their families. Copies of the storybook are available in the CSC library or for sale at the reception desk. The culmination of reflection and celebration of CSC’s first 25 years is a concerted effort to develop more programs and services for children with special needs and their families and communities. There is still much that is needed for them. A new strategic plan has been developed to guide CSC’s next 5 years. My hope is that the upcoming years will engage everyone who is touched by CSC’s programs and services in “imagining possibilities” for themselves and others.

It’s been our “TSN Turning Point”! www.childrenservices.ca GROUP PROGRAMS Group activities that are adapted for individual needs enhance learning opportunities for children with special needs. Our multidisciplinary teams are able to adapt most activities (i.e. bike riding, sledding) to meet the individual complex needs of children. With the support of our staff, parents and caregivers are able to learn strategies for supporting their child at home and in the community. For families, groups offer a safe place to connect with other parents who are facing similar challenges. Some of our group programs are: Park It FAST Highlights • CSC supported two of its therapists (Jan Gervais and Melanie Harris) in offering the summer FAST (Fun, Adapted, Safe and Totally Cool!) camp. Participants enjoyed a fun-filled week of adapted learning opportunities. For more information about any of our programs and services, please visit our website: www.childrenservices.ca 10 Children’s Services Centre is a non-profit child development centre and community resource assisting children with special needs to reach their full potential. ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION Assessment and Intervention are the cornerstones of CSC services. Our two multidisciplinary teams, teachers and consultants provide assessment and intervention at home, in the community and within our centre-based programs. The services can be tailored to individual needs with options for long-term intensive programming, short-term intervention and various assessment possibilities. Some of our assessment and intervention services are: D iagnostic C linic Early Access to Supportive Education (EASE) I n d i v i d u a l i z e d S e rv i c e s EARLY INTERVENTION (EI) Transdisciplinary Assessment and Consultation (TAC) “I was at the end of my rope but now I feel like I have direction on where to go and what to do with Jacob. The wonderful women in this program have truly changed my life.” Highlights • The therapists that conduct assessments for the purpose of diagnosing children became trained to diagnose children suspected of having Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). • CSC therapists continue to receive consultation services from Dr. Goulden, neurodevelopmental pediatrician from the Glenrose Rehabilitation Program; Dr. Lorrain, child psychiatrist from Child Adolescent and Family Mental Health and Dr. Moshenko-Mitchell, psychologist with the Anxiety Clinic. • Two of the Early Intervention Consultants were trained on the Hanen program and hope to offer groups to families in the future. “There are no books, no other experiences to look back on for guidance. CSC was a great support in helping me stand by my decisions and actions while going through the difficult process of learning the challenges of being a parent of a child with disabilities.” “Both Early Intervention and TAC have been wonderful. We’ve been turned in the right direction now and are seeing positive feedback almost daily. It’s such a positive group to work with and the experience shows.” www.childrenservices.ca EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH RESOURCES Building community capacity to help children reach their potential has been a staple of CSC’s mission for 25 years. By providing information on specific diagnoses and intervention strategies, families, educators and community providers will be better able to support a child’s development and learning. Some of the educational outreach programs we offer are: P arents of T eenagers with A utism ASPERGER’S DISORDER C Professional h a l l e n g i n g Workshop Series C h i l d B e h av i o u r s Sleepless in America ADVOCATING FOR YOUR CHILD Highlights • workshops to both local participants and distant learners through videoconference technology.
