1 PROGRAM SERVICES GUIDE 2014 FALL / 2015 WINTER

2 Welcome to Easter Seals Kids. Therapy. Progress. These three words define our passion. At Easter Seals, we know that early identification of developmental delays in children, and therapeutic intervention to support development, make a big difference! Our dedicated team of physicians, therapists and staff help children and families reach new milestones each and every day. We provide a wide variety of services, supports and community education designed to promote progress. The 2014 Fall / 2015 Winter Program Guide contains program information and schedules for families and professionals related to therapeutic interventions, group classes, family support activities, and community education. We hope you will find it helpful, and encourage you to visit our website for more information. About Easter Seals Easter Seals mission is to provide exceptional services to ensure that people with disabilities and their families have equal opportunity to live, learn, work and play in their communities. Easter Seals is committed to providing quality therapy services and family support. For over 30 years, Easter Seals has earned the highest level of accreditation through CARF International and the American Camp Association (ACA), and in 2013 Easter Seals received recognition as the first CARF accredited program offering behavioral services and supports for individuals with autism in Central Illinois. Easter Seals provides services for children from birth to age 21, and is a provider in the Early Intervention System. Treatment Philosophy All treatment and intervention services at Easter Seals are based on focused, functional outcomes, or clear statements about skills and activities that reflect the changes that your child and family want to see as a result of therapy. Functional outcomes are designed to maximize your child s practical skills such as movement, eating, communicating, getting dressed, interacting with others, or joining in family and community activities. Functional outcomes provide a clear focus and direction for all our interventions. When parents first make contact to start services, one of our coordinators will ask about parent concerns and priorities. Questions will include, what is your child doing that you would like to change? or what is your child not doing that you would like for him to do? Answers to these questions will guide evaluations and the development of focused, functional outcomes for therapy services. If therapy is recommended, and the decision is made to start services, the frequency of therapy sessions will be based on best practice guidelines. (Please see our website and the Parent Handbook for additional information about frequency of therapies.) Once the functional outcome is met and that Interval of Care is complete, your child is released from ongoing therapy, or a new priority and outcome will be identified for continued services. To ensure that your child has the best chance of meeting his functional outcome, our therapists provide caregivers with a specific home program of activities to be carried out during daily routines. Our therapists monitor progress and change the home program as your child improves and reaches his milestones. In order to support therapy and progress, it is essential and required that caregivers be engaged in therapy services and carrying out the home program. At Easter Seals, we value our partnership with families and we recognize the critical role families play in supporting and educating children. We appreciate the opportunity to share your journey of progress! 2

4 THE AUTISM PROGRAM AT EASTER SEALS Today, as many as one in every 68 children is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, making autism the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. Early diagnosis and treatment are associated with dramatically better outcomes and are essential for future success.

Comprehensive Autism Services Autism Diagnostic Clinic is a one-day multi-disciplinary, comprehensive medical evaluation and administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2).

Families leave the clinic with a short written summary and receive a comprehensive diagnostic report 30 days following the clinic. Referrals to the Clinic must come from a physician, and a child receives an autism screening prior to diagnostic scheduling.
