2007 Report to the Community
Dear Friends of Fraser,
It is an exciting and critical time at Fraser. In 2007,
I marked my 18th year with the organization. I have
enjoyed watching Fraser grow and thrive and celebrating
the impact we have made with your help. Through this
annual report, I invite you to See Where We Are and
See How You Can Join Us.
2007 brought significant growth to the organization.
Fraser now employs some 600 staff members and delivers
more than 35 programs through six divisions. Through
critical services and in partnership with clients, staff
and donors, Fraser accomplishes its mission of making a
meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of children
and adults with special needs.
The mission of Fraser is to make a
meaningful and lasting difference in
the lives of children, adults and families
with special needs. We accomplish this
by providing education, healthcare and
housing services.
Along with growth come challenges. A skyrocketing increase in autism spectrum disorders has driven requests
for Fraser programs higher than ever. Our current facilities are bursting at the seams and Fraser struggles every
day to meet the growing need. Few days go by that I
don’t personally receive a call from a desperate parent
looking for answers and pleading for help. While we
have made great strides (see accomplishments page 17)
we must find creative ways to serve more families
who need our help.
In the spirit of our founder, Louise Whitbeck Fraser,
we approach each day grateful for the work that we
accomplish, yet yearning to do more. I thank each and
every one of you for being a friend of Fraser and doing
your part to save these families. Your volunteer and
financial support have been critical. If we all do a little,
we can make a big difference. Thank you for helping
Fraser to make a meaningful and lasting difference!
Sincerely,
Diane S. Cross
President and CEO

Minnesota’s
Leading
Provider of
Autism Services
In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control called
autism an “urgent public health concern” and announced
that 1 in 150 American children has autism. Autism is the
fastest-growing developmental disability in the U.S. and is
now more common than juvenile diabetes, childhood
cancer and AIDS combined.
The dramatic rise in autism spectrum
disorders means that thousands of Minnesota
families need direct-care and support
services. As the longest-running, largest
provider of autism services in Minnesota,
Fraser provides diagnosis, treatment and
support services to hundreds of children
and adults with autism spectrum disorders and
their families. Fraser uses a multidisciplinary
approach and partners with each family to
determine which services are the best fit.
S ome of the services provided
by Fraser include:
early childhood education;
ccupational, physical, speech, music and
o
feeding therapies;
individual, family and group therapies;
c are coordination and case
management services;
parent education, training and support;
day treatment;
respite care;
diagnostic evaluations and referrals;
PCA services;
residential services;
individual and group skills training;
consultation
and training to
the community;
and more!

Four Strategies
We Have To Help
Multidisciplinary Approach
Because autism is a spectrum
disorder, every individual is
unique in his/her needs. A
multidisciplinary approach
considers what is best for each
individual and designs services
around individual strengths
and weaknesses.
1
Lifelong support
Fraser provides services to
individuals with autism during
early childhood, adolescence
and adulthood. Our services
change as an individual’s
needs change.
In 2007, Fraser Child & Family Center
received an average of 22 calls per day
regarding autism concerns (one-half of all
calls received) and performed 45 autism
evaluations each month. One-third of the
clients currently receiving Fraser Residential
Services and nearly two-thirds of the
clients receiving Fraser services in their
own homes have autism spectrum disorders.
Streamlined services
Through the Fraser ASD Model,
children and families receive
help sooner, more families can
be served, parents are better
informed and family stress is
reduced.

Parental involvement
Fraser believes parents are the
experts on their children. We
value parental input and work
closely with parents when designing treatment programs.
The
GoldenTwins
Autism Services
“Jackson and Hunter now have a ‘voice’ to express themselves.”
Jackson and Hunter were born happy, healthy,
beautiful little boys. They were developing
typically and hitting their milestones for the first
year and a half. They loved going to the park,
playing with toys, reading books and watching
their favorite videos (doing their “happy dance”
the whole way through!)
They communicated well through gestures and
sign language, pointing at things to communicate
their needs. At 16 months the boys were only
babbling and imitating a few sounds.
5
6
(What does a cow say? Moo! Moo! Sheep? Baa!
Baa!) We asked our pediatrician if we should be
concerned and were reassured that their speech
was normal and we’d see more language develop
by their 2-year check-up.
The exact opposite was true! By their second
birthday the boys had fallen completely silent.
Their speech had regressed and in only a few
months we saw regression in many other
areas as well.
They were no longer communicating by pointing,
waving or blowing kisses. Going to their favorite
places suddenly became stressful and caused anxiety. Both boys became increasingly dependent
on videos and wanted less and less to play with
toys. They would throw themselves to the floor
and completely melt down with no concern for
even their own safety! When we tried to comfort
or even touch them, they became more upset.
Once again we sought our pediatrician’s guidance.
He suggested calling our school district for a
speech assessment but was not overly concerned.
The school district came to our home for a preassessment and mentioned concerns of autism.
We took the advice of a friend and called Fraser
the next day to seek out a medical evaluation.
We thought the boys were just being extremely
stubborn. We didn’t understand how one day
they could have a skill mastered and the next
couldn’t do it at all. We thought they were
choosing to not blow kisses or to only want to
watch television. Fraser explained what was
happening to our boys.
Jackson was diagnosed with autism and Hunter
with PDD-NOS (Pervasive Development
Disorder- not otherwise specified). The diagnoses
brought mixed feelings. We were relieved to
have answers, but scared of what was to come.
We were angry that our boys would struggle and
sad to have lost the typical little boys that we
once knew. Rachel Gardner, an autism expert at
Fraser, helped us sort through these emotions.
She answered questions objectively and honestly
and helped us figure out the best options for our
boys. Rachel referred us to Fraser day treatment,
skills training and PCA programs.
When Jackson and Hunter first started day
treatment, it was pretty rough! For the first few
months the boys were so anxious about being
someplace new that they weren’t able to start the
day in their therapy classroom. The staff at Fraser
was unbelievable! They helped the boys learn
coping strategies to get them through the tough
parts of their day. It took patience and persistence, but eventually the boys were willing to
start in their classroom. Now when Jackson and
Hunter go to Fraser they are excited to start their
day! The one-on-one staff genuinely care about
the boys and their progress. They have taken
time to get to know the boys as individuals and
work with each to develop core skills. The day
treatment staff has exceeded our expectations!
The boys have come a long way and will come
even further with Fraser’s support!

We’ve also used the Fraser skills training program
to help at home. Jackson and Hunter are nonverbal and unable to communicate with speech.
Our skills trainer helped set up picture cards
throughout our house. The boys tell us what they
need by showing a corresponding picture. It has
helped immensely with their frustration, and ours,
and gives them a sense of control. Jackson and
Hunter now have a “voice” to express themselves.
The Fraser personal care assistant program has
been helpful as well. Our PCA, Emily, worked
closely with our boys in day treatment. She has
been a consistent part of their lives since our first
day at Fraser. She is a familiar face and so in tune
to what each of them needs. What some may see
as stubborn or strong-willed, Emily sees as
determined and persistent. She always sees the
positives and has truly been a blessing!
Fraser has given us balance, something we
depend on day after day. The people at Fraser
have continually gone out of their way to support
our family. They have a true concern for us all,
but most importantly for Jackson and Hunter.
They have been there to guide us from day one
and we are confident they will continue to do so
as long as we need them. In the unknown world
of autism, you need a team that you can trust.
We have that team at Fraser!
The Golden twins came to Fraser when they
were 2. Both were diagnosed with a pervasive
developmental disorder and enrolled in the autism
day treatment toddler program. They had difficulty
tolerating transitions, communicating needs and
playing with toys. While they continue to have
challenges, both have made significant progress in
transitioning between activities and using pictures
to communicate. Jackson and Hunter are delightful
little boys with many strengths, including an
increased awareness of others and a growing
motivation to engage with adults. Their parents
have provided never-ending support and are
excellent advocates for their needs.

Rachel Gardner, Licensed Psychological
Practitioner, Fraser Autism Program
I met Jackson and Hunter on their first day
when I was a staff member in their day treatment
classroom. Now, I’m a Personal Care Attendant
(PCA) in their home. It is truly amazing to see how
far their skills have come, especially in the area of
communication. At home the boys work on using
sign language, pictures and gestures to communicate.
We integrate these skills into everyday activities
such as choosing between grapes and bananas,
requesting bounces on the therapy trampoline, or
asking for a favorite DVD. Working in their home
has given me new perspective on their personalities.
Jackson is a laid-back, affectionate daredevil,
while Hunter is determined, smart and loves to
laugh. They never fail to make me smile!

Abel
Residential Services
Fraser Residential Services provide caring and
safe housing options for children and adults
with special needs in single-family homes and
apartments. Each year, Fraser provides housing to
more than 200 people like Stephanie who need
various levels of support. With Fraser Residential
Services, individuals can achieve the highest
level of independence possible while also being
an important part of the community.
“Living independently means
a lot more to Stephanie than
just living on her own.”
Forty-two-year-old Stephanie Abel knows what it’s
like to be part of a family – a big family. In 1991,
she moved from California, leaving behind her
parents and 10 siblings. With support from her family,
Stephanie has found her independence in Minnesota.
Fraser is a part of her life, and not just as a living
space. One of Stephanie’s many ambitions is to
work with kids. She gets to see this dream realized
when she volunteers in the classroom
at Fraser School.
In 1993, she moved to Lyndale Court, an
independent living apartment, and became part
of a family again – the Fraser family.
Living independently means a lot more to Stephanie
than just living on her own. To Stephanie, living
means reaching her goals. One of these goals is
remaining active. Stephanie bikes whenever and
wherever she can. She bikes for fun and to her job
at Target where she restocks the shelves at night.
She bikes for good causes, too. This year, Stephanie
will participate in four charity bike rides, three
of which span 150, 300 and even 400 miles.
She has also run the Twin Cities Marathon
twice and plans to run again this October.
The affordable rent, comfortable living space
and spacious back yard and patio make the apartment
complex a nice place to live. But it is the friends
she has made that she cherishes. A Fraser activities
director, Holly, organizes events for the residents, like
game night, bingo night and even computer education classes. Stephanie enjoys these activities with
friends, some of which are the best she’s ever had.
9
10
She has pushed herself to extremes like these for
the past several years, participating in multiple
bike or walk events for different causes.
“I don’t give up easily on life,” said Stephanie.
“Sometimes life challenges me in many ways.
Having a speech impediment myself, I can
relate to people in the same boat at times.”
Stephanie plays on a Minnesota Special Hockey
League team and belongs to two Special Olympics
teams: the Blues basketball and alpine
skiing teams.
“My motto is just go for it and don’t give up
until you have reached your goal.”
“Fraser has given him the tools to go to school.”

When Davion was 4, I had concerns about his
behavior. We were going through a lot of changes.
We moved three times in one year and the people
in his life kept changing. His dad was incarcerated.
His little brother was born. All of these things
made his behavior worse.
People kept saying he had ADHD. The public
schools did an assessment and didn’t find anything.
Then I got the Fraser number from his childcare. I
called and talked to Jen who met with me first and
then Davion. She diagnosed that he had a hard
time coping with change.
Davion was always an active kid, but he became
louder. He would wake up in the night crying.
He jumped off things and ran around like crazy.
At the store he would run and hide from me.
I had to tell him four or five times to do something.
We enrolled Davion in the Fraser program
provided through Head Start. Jen worked with
him on expressing his feelings and listening. He
learned how to use safety breaks when he needed
to calm down. A few months after starting at
Fraser he started getting better. He is still active
but now he listens more. I tell him once not to do
something. He gets rewards instead of punishment.
Without Fraser, I would still be trying to find help.
It would have taken me a lot longer to figure out
what was going on. Jen has helped me understand
what he’s going through. When I have a question,
she makes time to break it down.
I went to Fraser and peeked in one day. The kids
were sitting around in a circle and Davion was
focused and paying attention. I was like, “Wow!”
I couldn’t believe it. Fraser helps Davion relate to
other people. He helps with his younger brother
and he has come so far that sometimes he even
leads the other kids at Fraser.
Davion will be starting kindergarten in the fall.
Fraser has given him the tools to go to public
school. I want to find the right school and teachers
that will work with him.
My advice to other parents is to be patient and
don’t give up. Try lots of things, because every
child is different. I would recommend Fraser to
anyone having problems with their child. I’m so
thankful. Life is good right now. It’s less stressful.
I’m definitely not going to give up.
By Camille Mitchell
The partnership between Fraser and Community
Action Programs of Ramsey and Washington
Counties Head Start serves families whose children
are having significant emotional and behavioral
difficulties. Davion’s difficulties are common:
negative attention seeking, frequent crying, difficulty
following directions and aggression. He was
enrolled in the program five days a week, three
hours each day. Davion’s mom and I work together
to provide consistency across environments and
share what strategies seem to work or to be
ineffective. With mom’s support, Davion’s behavior
improved at home, daycare and in our program.
When Davion starts kindergarten, he can use the
strategies he has learned and build on his success.
Davion is an intelligent, engaging boy with a
bright future.

In-Home
Support Services
Fraser Home & Community Supports for about
three years. Anna, our respite care provider, comes
to our house one weeknight and every Saturday
morning. She is wonderful! She plays games with
Jarrett, reads to him and helps with skills he
is learning.
“ Then we realized that
Jarrett wasn’t hitting his
developmental milestones.”
Jarrett was an easy baby. Since he was our first,
we didn’t have anything to compare, but he was
smiley and happy and life was good.
Our friend had a baby the same age as Jarrett.
When we got together, we began to notice some
differences. Jarrett wasn’t doing the things the
other baby was doing. He wasn’t pulling himself
up, playing with toys, beginning to walk.
At first we thought it was natural differences
from one child to the next. Then we realized that
Jarrett wasn’t hitting his developmental milestones.
Instead of playing with toys, he would spin a top
over and over again. He was obsessed with ceiling
fans and anything that spun. We needed professional
help. We went to a number of places, but none
would commit to a diagnosis.
13
14
When he was 2, we went to Fraser and Jarrett was
diagnosed with autism. Fraser staff was educated
and knew what to look for. They knew what tests
to do and which questions to ask. The therapists
didn’t miss a thing, it was like they had known
Jarrett for years. We learned that his obsession with spinning, a self-stimulatory behavior,
was common with autism. He also lacked basic
speech and social skills, had challenges eating
and low muscle tone. More recently, Fraser
diagnosed that Jarrett also has obsessive compulsive disorder.
Over the years, we have gathered a team to help
Jarrett. Our team includes the school district,
a social worker, various therapists and Fraser.
We have been using respite services through
Respite care gives us a break and allows us to
get things accomplished (like balancing the
checkbook, grocery shopping, getting some
much-needed sleep for dad who works nights).
It also gives us time to focus on our daughter
Jenna, who is 6. So much time is focused on
Jarrett’s needs, but Jenna needs attention too.
Having Anna at the house allows us to take
Jenna to her favorite parks or restaurants
that Jarrett just can’t tolerate.
If Anna is not available, Meera comes. All of the
respite providers have been exceptional. They are
not here just to do a job. They want to be here
with Jarrett and to make a personal connection.
We can’t use a typical babysitter and don’t have
family nearby, so respite care is crucial. We’ve
been impressed that Fraser goes the extra mile
to screen and get the right person. (Caring for
a child with disabilities is not something just
anyone can do.)
We are so thankful for our team. To us, there is
no shame in asking for help. We have to think
about our child and do everything to get him all
the resources available. Jarrett is now a happy
third grader. He enjoys reading Peanuts books,
playing games and drawing. Our hope is that
Jarrett continues to make progress. We know that
it won’t be at the same rate as a typical child, but
any progress is good. We have more hope now
than ever.
By Jim and Sandy Nolan
I’ve worked with the Nolan family for more than
a year now. During that time, I’ve witnessed
Jarrett grow and learn and accomplish so many
new things. Things like perfect spelling tests and
mastering riding his bike. I knew working with
children with special needs was what I wanted to
do and working with the Nolans has confirmed it.
They made me feel so comfortable becoming part
of their team. My job brings me much joy. I feel so
lucky to be a part of Jarrett’s (and Jim, Sandy and
Jenna’s) life.
Anna Brostrom
Personal Care Assistant,
“Her teacher at Fraser was the kind of teacher that changes children’s lives.”
We learned about Fraser School and scheduled a
tour. We quickly knew that this was the place for
Maddie. She had just turned 4 when she began
attending preschool. I would come a few minutes
early to peek in on what they were doing.
Without fail, the teachers were on the floor,
actively engaging Maddie and the other children.
Her first teacher at Fraser, Elizabeth, was the kind
of teacher that changes children’s lives.
We have also been impressed with Fraser
Rehabilitation Services. Maddie gets physical,
occupational, speech and music therapies. Her
therapists Kay, Crystal and both Andreas are
phenomenal. I learn something every time I talk
to them. It’s a real gift when you can learn, take
it home and continue to work there.
Christi, her special education teacher, discovered
that Maddie does much better paying attention
when some physical movement is included.
Now she begins by climbing the rock wall in the
physical therapy room. She loves it and it helps
her tune in to other tasks.
Every two months, we get a written report on
Maddie’s progress. After just six months at Fraser,
she had already met 55 percent of her goals. She
was talking, running and playing – being a kid!
Maddie was doing so well that last summer she
enrolled in the Fraser School Ready 4K program.
Maddie
Lewis
Maddie came to Fraser a quiet flower. Thanks to
the attention and nurturing of Fraser staff, she
has blossomed. What we want for Maddie is to
reach her potential and to know that she is okay
being who she is. Her hill is a lot harder to climb
than the average kid’s. But that’s alright.
At Fraser, she is learning to soar!

By Kelly and Paul Lewis
Our first child, Madeline Rose, was born seemingly
healthy. At 11 months, Maddie had her first
seizure. While in her high chair, her head
dropped for just a second. I wasn’t even sure
I saw it. Other times, I would be holding her
and she would jerk.
We knew something was wrong but for several
months there was no answer. I felt like we were
on a tunnel slide, always wondering when we’d
find the light at the end. By this time, Maddie
was having 20-30 seizures each day.
At 14 months, a pediatric neurologist diagnosed
Maddie with generalized epilepsy. Each child
15
16
with epilepsy is different and it’s often trial and
error with drugs. As a child’s brain grows, the seizures
change. I felt like we were always one step ahead
of a rolling snowball.
Thankfully, Maddie’s condition stabilized and we
could focus on her development. Maddie’s greatest delay was in speech and her least delay was in
gross motor skills. The school district sent a special
education teacher to our home. We also took her
to speech, occupational and physical therapies.
This seemed to go well at first, but soon we decided
that there was a better match for her needs.
Maddie has grown so much in speech-language
therapy over the last year. It has been exciting to
watch her discover the power of her words. Maddie
can now ask for help, make requests and share
information with her family, teachers and friends.
She has learned to listen and talk about stories.
She has developed social language skills that help
her engage with her peers. As Maddie has learned
to listen and express herself, her confidence and
enjoyment for school have increased. Maddie’s
family and teachers have worked to offer a
variety of supports including adding sensory
breaks, pictures and opportunities for practice.
Andrea Nelson
Fraser Speech-Language Pathologist
Maddie came to Fraser School as a quiet observer
in a busy classroom of 4 and 5-year-olds. It’s exciting to
see the growth that has taken place – from needing
extra assistance and encouragement to becoming a
take charge leader. Maddie has been blessed with
parents who go the extra mile. They researched
techniques that would help her grow and learn;
made sure the staff was aware of her goals; and
supported efforts to achieve these milestones.
Over a year has passed since Maddie’s first days
at Fraser. That time has been used well by this
strong little girl. It is amazing to see what can be
achieved when you combine a supportive
family, a special child and a team of people that
know great things are ahead.

What We
Accomplished
Fraser measures success by the impact our efforts have on the children, adults and
families we serve and their communities. Here are some of our accomplishments from 2007.
Made a significant and lasting difference in
people’s lives. Of the families responding to our
client/consumer survey:
• 91% said that Fraser programs met or
exceeded their expectations;
• 96% said that Fraser services made a
positive difference in their family member’s
skills or behaviors;
• 97% felt that their family benefited from
being connected to Fraser services;
• 97% reported that they would recommend
Fraser services.
Provided critical interventions to more children
by adding another psychologist to provide
mental health evaluations and restructuring
treatment space at Fraser Child & Family Center.
Provided help to children who have autism as
early as possible by formalizing and offering
services to children younger than 24 months.
Helped children gain the skills necessary to enter
kindergarten by adding a new literacy, math and
science curriculum to the Fraser School Ready 4K
program.

“The work at Fraser complements our mission at the
Medtronic Foundation - to improve the health of people
and communities. We support the Fraser Child and Family
Mental Health Program because children get the help they
need to develop emotionally and enjoy stronger relationships.
Fraser changes the lives of children and families, and we’re
proud to be part of that success.”

“Our family has gained so much from the excellent
autism services and preschool available at Fraser.
They were there at every turn with the questions
we had about parenting and educating a child
with special needs. The preschool inclusion model
allowed our boys to go to the same school and
taught them to be caring friends. We support
Fraser because we want other families to benefit
from the programs that have served us so well.
Although our youngest son is leaving Fraser to
go to kindergarten, our gratitude and support to
Fraser will continue.”

“I volunteer at Fraser because it is such a phenomenal place.
Fraser has added so much to the lives of others, the least I
can do is give a little back. I went to preschool here, so it is
very special to me. I just love it here!”

“Fraser assisted our son to learn to live with autism and
gave our whole family hope at a time we desperately
needed it. Including Fraser in our future financial plans is
a decision that came easily. Our goal with the planned
gift was to provide financial support for what Fraser will
need for continued success. As the needs of people with
autism grow, we believe that Fraser will rise to the
challenge to successfully support these individuals in our
community. We are proud to contribute to their vision.”
