Easter Seals NY 2014 Annual Report 1 Mission Easter Seals New York provides exceptional services to ensure that all people with disabilities or special needs and their families have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play in their communities. Dear Friends, In a year when Universal Pre-K was trending, with the Mayor’s office leading the way, Easter Seals New York continued to provide leadership and passionate commitment to the educational needs of children, everywhere. Our Child Development Centers set the standard for preschool education, with programs operating at capacity, often with waiting lists. In the United States, Easter Seals is the leading non-profit provider of direct services for individuals with autism and other special needs. The organization has a long history of support for returning military service members. In New York, where the need is especially acute, we provide transitional support and career counseling to our veterans. We are especially proud of our programs for female veterans, a growing segment of the military with different, more difficult, challenges. Our work would not be possible without the dedication our staff brings to our mission. Your support brings opportunities to more than 24,000 children and adults across New York State. Thanks to all of you, we will continue to provide exceptional services so that all people with special needs and their families have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play. Your donations are at work every day—changing lives and offering hope to those who need it most. Sincerely, Joseph A. DiChiara Chairman of the Board Aris Pavlides Senior Vice President, Development 3 Helping Bronx Families Bronx Child Development Center Easter Seals New York’s Bronx Child Development Center provides pre-school education to more than 120 young children with disabilities every year. At the Bronx Child Development Center, children ages 3-5 receive Individualized Education Programs and customized speech, physical, occupational, and play therapies to ensure their continued development. Students with physical or intellectual disabilities receive the highest-quality education and support from experienced, caring teachers and staff. The goal of the Bronx Child Development Center is to prepare each child to enter the next grade level and eliminate the need for future services. Family Outreach Program Easter Seals New York is committed to providing comprehensive services for its students and families. This includes maximizing community resources and providing referral services to families in need. Easter Seals New York’s Family Outreach Program helps families in the Bronx sustain healthy and supportive home environments, strengthen child health and attendance, and increase access to vital resources that improve the lives and education of children. The program delivers comprehensive social work and nursing services to support early childhood education for children with disabilities. We are extremely grateful to S. Katzman Produce for their generous support of the Bronx CDC and Outreach Programs. Capital Opportunity in Valhalla Easter Seals New York’s Project Explore was developed in conjunction with the Valhalla School District to respond to the needs of Westchester County for quality after school, child care and pre kindergarten programs. The Columbus Avenue school building also provides office facilities for Easter Seals New York administrative staff. Project Explore focuses on cognitive, social and language development through integrated preschool and inclusive child day care programs for children from 18 months to 5 years old. The program offers special education services, including speech, occupational, and physical therapy, and counseling to preschoolers with disabilities, while simultaneously providing a rich, stimulating curriculum for general education students. In 2014, the organizations agreed to deepen their relationship. Valhalla has sold the Columbus Avenue facility to Easter Seals New York, creating a permanent presence in Valhalla’s community. The Valhalla community so values our participation that the town accepted Easter Seals New York’s bid for the property over larger offers from commercial developers. To support the purchase and maintenance of this newly acquired asset, Easter Seals NY is committed to a special capital campaign for the 2014/15 fiscal year. The 2.5 million dollar fund will provide a reserve for refurbishment, maintenance and repair of the facility. We look forward to your support for this important project. 5 Our Programs Child Development Centers provide special and general preschool education for children of all abilities throughout Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island.

The Kessler Center provides residential, educational, and clinical support to children with complex challenges from all of New York State. This unique setting serves children ages 5-21 who were not successful in previous programs. Individuals with disabilities live in supportive, enriching homes known as Individualized Residential Alternatives located throughout Rochester. Easter Seals New York staff assists these individuals in developing independent living skills. Rochester’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center provides comprehensive Primarily Medical Care and Mental Health Services to more than 1,900 people with disabilities in Western New York each year. The In-home Respite Program helps more than 300 families find the time to take care of other needs, relax, and recharge by providing dependable respite workers in the family’s home.

More than 70 children with special needs make friends, have fun, and explore their abilities, alongside their typically developing peers each summer.

Our service members deserve all that we can do to honor their service, and ease their transition into civilian life. In 2014 Easter Seals New York expanded our veterans life transition programs, thereby reaching more returning service members in Syracuse and New York City. The programs are primarily funded by grants from the Department of Labor’s Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program and the Homeless Female Veterans/Veterans Family Programs. In 2014 Easter Seals New York’s success reaching veterans in need led to additional funding and support from major grants from BNY Mellon, the Walmart Foundation, Real Networks and the Disabled Veterans National Foundation. Easter Seals New York provides the Vets2Jobs program in New York City, Long Island and Syracuse. The program includes skills assessment, resume preparation and practical support—interview clothing, transportation support. Community outreach and collaboration with local businesses make it possible to hold job fairs and networking eventsfor returned service members. Once placed, we follow up with the veterans and their employers, to assure that the job is not merely needed, but a job the vet wants to hold. 9 Kessler Center: No Rejection, No Ejection The Kessler Center, located in Rochester NY, provides programs for children who have nowhere else to go. At The Kessler Center, we believe regular involvement of the family in their child’s life is critical. We strive to help families stay connected throughout their children’s time in the program. To facilitate this connection, The Kessler Center relies on unique program features. Family Guest Suites provide a private apartment to accommodate families who visit their children from out-oftown. In 2014, The Kessler Center developed a comprehensive family support program that seeks to build the families’ capacity to support their student at home and enable a transition out of the residential program and into a less restrictive school placement closer to home. 2014: A Year of Fundraising Records!
