Dear Friend, f this year’s annual report issue of Amazing Kids were to have a theme, it might be dreams. The Children’s Institute realized a number of its dreams over the past fiscal year; a supportive group of donors helps our patients and students live their dreams on an ongoing basis; and a young man had his Christmas dream fulfilled through the generosity of two very special donors. I In this annual report we look back on the activities of The Children’s Institute during fiscal year 2006, the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Words and photographs can relate the facts, but nothing can capture the energy and excitement that abounds at The Children’s Institute. Whether visiting The Hospital, The Day School or Project STAR, one can’t help but feel inspired by our Amazing Kids and our Amazing Place. 1 On the pages that follow, you’ll learn about specific physical and programmatic improvements that The Children’s Institute made over the past fiscal year. And you’ll also learn how your support of our organization enables us to advance our mission of anticipating, meeting and exceeding the rehabilitation needs of children with special needs and their families. You’ll also meet Adam, a very special young man whose life was changed unexpectedly at the age of 4. Adam and his family have weathered the resulting uncertainty for years. After a particularly serious setback last summer, Adam is now an inpatient at The Children’s Institute where he and his family have found comfort, assistance and encouragement. They also found that donors can make wishes come true, adding to Adam’s happiness and healing. The Children’s Institute’s activities and achievements over the past year lay the foundation for continued progress, and the year ahead promises even more. We’re glad you’re part of the dream team traveling with us as we reach even greater heights in helping our Amazing Kids. Thank you for your support of our journey. Sincerely, Ann M. McGuinn Chair, Board of Directors David K. Miles President and CEO 2 2005-2006 Year in Review: Past Projects with Forward Motion With each passing year, The Children’s Institute solidifies its place in the community as a leader committed to improving the lives of children with special needs and their families. Fiscal year 2006 (July 1, 2005 – June 30, 2006) was no exception. As part of an ongoing renovation project, The Children’s Institute underwent physical and programmatic changes to help keep pace with the evolving needs of those it serves. “In my 29 years at The Children’s Institute, 2006 has been one of the more exciting,” said David Miles, president and CEO, The Children’s Institute. “In fact, it’s probably the most exciting time in our history. We’re proud to have introduced so many essential programs and services to residents of our area and beyond.” High on the list of notable achievements, The Day School at The Children’s Institute opened two of an eventual five classrooms specially designed for students with autism. The classrooms are in response to the increasing number of children diagnosed with autism and autism-related disorders. The classrooms are situated in a pod within The Day School and feature small class sizes, quiet areas and a multisensory room, all of which provide students with the greatest chances of success. Inpatient and outpatient therapy space doubled during the past year to include two new outpatient physical therapy gyms and 12 new speech/language workrooms. Since they’re often used in tandem, physical, occupational and speech/language therapy spaces have all been relocated to one area of the building. The addition of two Activities of Daily Living apartments means that patients can have a real-life setting in which to practice what they’re learning during therapy sessions. The only one of its kind in North America, The Children’s Institute’s Prader-Willi Syndrome/ Behavioral Disorders Program required a treatment space as amazing as its patients. A new, dedicated, inpatient unit provides comfortable space for the medical, behavioral, psychiatric and behavioral treatments necessary for better health and ultimate survival of patients. Last year, The Children’s Institute joined Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, another pioneer in pediatric healthcare, in the development of the area’s first Pediatric Cardiac Recovery Program. Healthcare specialists from both organizations focus on the unique rehabilitation needs of pediatric cardiac patients and work to identify possible complications early and make long-term improvements. Following cardiac surgery at Children’s Hospital, patients are discharged to The Children’s Institute to begin longterm cardiac rehabilitation. Other highlights from fiscal year 2006 include the following: • Austin’s Playroom, a gift from the Mario Lemieux Foundation Playroom Project, opened on the new inpatient unit • a chronic pain management program was introduced to provide inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation therapy to children and adolescents afflicted by debilitating, chronic pain • the respite program was expanded to provide families of children with disabilities an option for highly trained specialists to provide care during periods of conflicting demands for families • the Shady Avenue lobby entrance to The Children’s Institute was renovated, providing a welcoming setting for patients and visitors • a spacious Family Lounge was created on the new inpatient unit, providing many comforts of home including a TV, videos, a computer and a library “After careful evaluation, The Children’s Institute determined that these programs and services best suit the needs of our community,” explains David. “Our goal is to enable children and young adults with special needs reach their fullest potential. These new and adapted programs give them and their loved ones the opportunity to accomplish amazing things.” For more information about The Children’s Institute and its expanding menu of services, call 412-420-2400 or long onto www.amazingkids.org. 3 Annual Fund Donors Flight toDreams Give How do you measure the worthiness of a dream? 4 Each of us, regardless of age, gender or income, has dreams. Maybe it’s exceeding a sales target at work. Or acing an exam in night school. Or finally saving enough money to fund that long-desired vacation. Others may encourage us, applaud our success, even reward us. And when we achieve that dream, nothing compares to the sense of pride we feel. But what if the dreams were different? What if the dream was to take a step? Or to raise a ball over your head? Or to tie your own shoes? Keefe Ellis, member, Board of Directors and chair of the Annual Fund, and Michael Oberschelp, 17, walk through the hallways of The Day School where Michael is a student. ‘‘ All you need to do is meet one of our Amazing Kids and you’re going to want to help. Who wouldn’t want to ’’ help a child face his or her challenges? The dreams of the children served by The Children’s Institute are different from ours, but no less important. When these Amazing Kids realize a dream, their sense of accomplishment is even greater than ours, but no less empowering. And the worthiness of their dreams can be measured by their smiles. With each step, each new height, each lace knotted. “When I see our Amazing Kids smiling, it’s the same as seeing my own kids smiling and happy,” explains J. Keefe Ellis Jr., member, The Children’s Institute Board of Directors. “A smile is universal.” As chair of The Children’s Institute’s Annual Fund, Keefe knows the importance of the organization’s programs and services. He sees the difference The Children’s Institute makes in the lives of the children it serves and their families. “We give children – and their families – hope. Because of The Children’s Institute these kids will do something better and be more successful than they would have been otherwise.” As one of the nation’s premier rehabilitation centers for children, including those with special needs, The Children’s Institute provides services through The Hospital, The Day School and Project STAR. “The Children’s Institute plays a unique role,” Keefe notes. “We’re the region’s only provider of medical, educational and adoption services for children with special needs. If it weren’t for The Children’s Institute, the needs of these children would go unmet.” The cost of providing pediatric care is much higher than that of adult care. Those costs further increase when addressing the highly specialized and long-term needs of the children served by The Children’s Institute. Often, the expense of raising a child with special needs exceeds a family’s income. In fact, in fiscal year 2006, The Children’s Institute provided nearly $3.3 million in free care. Approximately 35 percent of children with disabilities rely on Medicaid for healthcare coverage. Further complicating the financial situation, Medicaid reimburses only 77 percent of the cost of inpatient care at The Children’s Institute and about 53 percent of the cost of outpatient care. So how can a child realize his dreams if he can’t access the care he needs? At The Children’s Institute, the Annual Fund helps to close the gap between financial need and financial ability. Each year, generous donors to the Annual Fund provide support that funds essential programs, specialized equipment and charitable care. In essence, these donors are helping Amazing Kids to have the tools they need to realize their dreams. “I don’t know what the future of healthcare is as it relates to these specific children,” Keefe says. “They’re obviously a minority, related to the general population of children who are treated in the healthcare industry. The Children’s Institute has a century-old commitment to taking care of kids who might otherwise slip through the cracks in the healthcare system. And the Annual Fund enables us to continue that commitment.” Donors to the Annual Fund range from elementary school children who conduct classroom fund-raising competitions, to adolescents who designate The Children’s Institute as the recipient of their bar and bat mitzvah gifts, to octogenarians whose ties with The Children’s Institute are rooted deeply in the history of the organization. Forms of giving to the Annual Fund include outright gifts, memorial gifts in memory of loved one, and tribute gifts that honor a special person or event. “All you need to do is meet one of our Amazing Kids,” Keefe says with a smile. “And you’re going to want to help. Who wouldn’t want to help a child face his or her challenges? “You see these kids,” Keefe continues, “and although many are faced with difficult challenges, they’re always smiling, and their smiles are infectious.” And with each smile, a dream is realized. A step taken. A ball raised. A shoelace tied. Dreams made real by generous donors to The Children’s Institute’s Annual Fund. 5 6 Daring to Dream: One Family’s Journey Jo Stovich tries to relax on the cushioned window seat of her son Adam’s dimly lit room on the inpatient unit of The Hospital at The Children’s Institute. She unfolds a stack of papers that’s marked with deep creases. Listed is the contact information for numerous physicians, dozens of hard-to-pronounce medications and pages of what Jo labels ‘major hospital admissions.’ “This is a summary of Adam’s medical history,” says Jo. “I carry it everywhere because I never know when I’ll need it. It’s too much to remember anymore.” ‘‘ It sounds cliché, but The Children’s Institute is amazing. You can see it in Adam’s face. This is definitely where we need to be. ’’ Adam was born in 1989. He was a healthy newborn who grew into a healthy, smart little boy. But in November 1993, Jo heard her 4-year-old son gasping for breath as he lay in bed one night. She rushed to his room and found him seizing. The nightmarish days stretched into weeks and extended into months. Finally, after months of tests and failed treatments, physicians diagnosed Adam with a severe seizure disorder known as LennoxGastaut syndrome. The seizures were frequent – up to 200 a day – and did not respond to medications. Adam underwent electroencephalograms (EEGs) to measure the electrical activity of his brain. Initial results showed the generalization of numerous seizures and the possibility of severe mental retardation. “No one knew what caused the seizures or what would stop them,” remembers Jo. “All they knew was that he would likely be profoundly retarded as a result of them.” Despite the fact that so much was unknown about Adam’s disorder and his prognosis, the family remained steadfast in their commitment to keeping their son active and engaged. He continued to go camping and fishing with his parents; his sister, Erin, now 17; and his brother, Brandon, now 13. He played baseball in the Little League Challenger Division, and with the help of his dad, Mark, even continued to cut the grass on a riding lawnmower, which had always been a favorite outdoor activity. “Adam has an amazing resiliency about him,” says Jo. “From the very beginning, he’s always been able to bounce back.” But rebounding after an April 2006 hospital admission hasn’t been easy. Adam was hospitalized for three months while physicians adjusted his medications. He spent an extensive period in the intensive care unit, and physicians medicated him to give his tired body a chance to recover. Because of his prolonged Buoyed by Two Donors Adam emerged from his early seizures with moderate retardation accompanied by an anxiety disorder, disruptive behavior disorder and attention deficit disorder. With no relatives in town, the Canonsburg, Pa., family had a limited support system. Jo eventually quit her job as a preschool teacher to stay at home and care for her son. She managed his numerous medications, shuttled him from physician to physician, spent countless nights in the hospital, battled the insurance company and oversaw Adam’s schooling to ensure teachers were comfortable handling each of the six types of seizures he was prone to. For three years she even monitored his very regimented diet that was designed to help bring the seizures under control. hospitalization, Adam’s physical activity was severely limited. As a result, by the time he was cleared for discharge in July, Adam had lost all muscle control. Unable to even hold up his head, he was transferred to The Children’s Institute for rehabilitation. “I didn’t realize just how bad Adam had gotten physically until we transferred to The Children’s Institute,” says Jo. “He was functioning at his full mental capacity, but physically, he deteriorated completely. Our focus shifted from Adam’s seizures to his need to regain his independence.” Each day, for the past nine months, Adam has pushed through several hours of physical, occupational, speech/language and feeding therapies. 7 Adam and his father, Mark, proudly pose for a Christmas Day photo with Adam’s new, adapted bike – a gift from generous donors to The Children’s Institute. 8 He’s had to learn to eat again, lift his head to kiss his family again, extend his arm to shake hands with visitors again, and move his legs to begin walking with assistance again. Accomplishing his goals has been work. Hard work. To help keep Adam motivated, his mom remains by his side throughout the week, and his dad takes the weekend shifts. Erin and Brandon visit weekly to cheer on their brother’s progress. Additional motivators include weekend trips home and rides on The Children’s Institute’s adapted bicycle. He was so enthralled with the bike that during a December visit with Santa, the bike was the only Christmas gift Adam asked for. However, at nearly $4,000, the bike was beyond the reach of Adam’s parents. Jo and Mark pressed Adam for other ideas in hopes that he could be swayed. Did he want new Walt Disney movies? Puzzles? Singalong CDs? The answer was always the same. “I want a big bike just like the one in therapy,” Adam said. On Christmas Day, Adam suffered several seizures before making the trip home and several more once arriving home. They drained him. He wasn’t even interested in opening any Christmas gifts – except one. There, under the family’s Christmas tree, hugged by an enormous bow, was a big, red bike, “just like the one in therapy.” What the Stovichs and Santa couldn’t make happen, two generous donors to The Children’s Institute did. With their contributions, these donors — who hadn’t even met Adam — made a young man’s dream come true. In fact, not only did they cover the cost of the bike, they added a horn, flag and helmet. Despite his fatigue that day, Adam mustered enough strength for a quick ride before snuggling on the couch for a Christmas nap. “Never in a million years did we think that would happen,” says Jo. “Because of the commitment of The Children’s Institute staff and the generosity of donors, Adam can safely ride a bike again. He can get his exercise and go on family rides again. Nothing could be better. Nothing could have been more thoughtful.” Adam recently celebrated his 18th birthday. While Jo understands that Adam’s prognosis is unknown and that he may not ever regain all of his mobility, she and her family are eternally grateful for the improvement that Adam has made and continues to make while at The Children’s Institute. He can support himself in the therapy pool and navigate the halls with his walker. He’s learning to dress and feed himself again, and of course, he can now ride his new bike. “This place changes your life. It’s changed my life, my husband’s life, and my kids’ lives. And it’s changed Adam’s life,” says Jo. “He is so well taken care of. It’s the most awesome staff of doctors, nurses, therapists, dietary professionals and housekeepers, and all of them are genuinely his friends. It sounds cliché, but The Children’s Institute is amazing. You can see it in Adam’s face. This is definitely where we need to be.” Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Annual Report of Donors The Children’s Institute is very grateful to the more than 2,000 individuals, corporations, foundations and others who together surpassed $760,000 in support of our Amazing Kids.

Cox Foundation Swimming Pool Mr. John Lee O’Nan Financial Statistical & Summary Fiscal year 2005-2006 reflects a period of transition as The Children’s Institute invested heavily in renovating its Squirrel Hill location while introducing new programs and expanding existing programs. Operating revenues showed an increase over the prior year of slightly more than 2 percent. Due primarily to significant renovation activities, operating expenses increased by 5 percent, resulting in a loss from operations. The demand for The Children’s Institute’s specialty services remained steady in 2005-2006. During the past fiscal year, the inpatient daily census increased slightly as did inpatient discharges. Due to temporary space constraints created by the renovation project, The Day School operated slightly below capacity. Continuing its commitment to the children and families of our region, The Children’s Institute provided nearly $3.3 million in uncompensated care during the past fiscal year.
