Report
To Recognize, Support and Celebrate the Qualities of the Individual
Children’s Services
Legendar y Histor y and a Bright Future
66 children, ages 8 - 22
8 certified special education teachers
22 classroom assistants
As we look back upon 60 years of exemplary services
(e.g., comprehensive skill development training,
job placement services, a full-range of residential
supports, a myriad of clinical and therapeutic
interventions, transportation, extensive enrichment
offerings) to people with developmental disabilities,
the future offers hopeful prospects for our services
and mission. We remain a vibrant and resilient
organization with a wide array of supporters.
We continue to be blessed with a founding board
member who has the longest continuous service
record of any board member for an organization
serving people with disabilities in Tennessee. Mr.
Tom Caldwell marked his 60th year of continuous
service with Orange Grove in 2013.
During our recent volunteer appreciation luncheon,
Mr. Caldwell introduced Mr. Morton J. Kent as the
guest speaker. Mr. Kent was recruited to the Orange
Grove effort in the early 60’s and proved a leading
force behind many of Orange Grove’s advancements.
The luncheon was a wonderful program for our
volunteers and staff. It was delightful to have both men
present and sharing their memories of how Orange
Grove started as a grassroots organization in 1953.
Mr. Kent reminisced about capturing the interest
and support of many prominent politicians like U.S.
Senators Howard Baker and Al Gore, Sr., as well
as Vice President Hubert Humphrey and President
Richard Nixon. He discussed the hundreds of
benefactors and advocates who came together with
a common mission of developing a renowned service
system for people with intellectual disabilities.
This was clearly the best volunteer luncheon we had
ever hosted. It was so rousing for those who had little
knowledge of the history behind our success and
it was most inspiring for the many supporters who
benefited from the walk down memory lane.
While Orange Grove has helped so many people over the
years and has had such a positive impact upon the lives
of people with developmental disabilities in Southeast
Tennessee and North Georgia, we realize there remains
Orange Grove’s school-age program is approved by the Tennessee
Department of Education. Our curriculum, developed with Hamilton County
Department of Education, is based on the Common Core Standards.
much work ahead. We are up to the challenge.
As our strategic planning document reflects, we
have an abundance of opportunities that need
development for the people we serve, provided
Orange Grove remains focused on its mission.
Mr. Tom Glenn, President of Ace Hardware of
Chattanooga/Knoxville, said it best at our open house
at the new Ringgold facility, where we honored him for
his financial support of our new Georgia operation.
Our program also includes music, art, adaptive physical education and
recreation. Each student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed
and agreed upon by the multi-disciplinary team, which includes parents and
professionals whose focus is to provide a meaningful educational experience
for the student.
The IEP addresses goals in all areas of development, including academics,
prevocational and vocational skills, daily living and self-help skills, gross and fine
motor development, speech and language, and social/
emotional development.
Our program also includes work-based learning (WBL) training for our students
to prepare them for life after school.
He said that his faith obligates him to give as much
as possible and with a cheerful heart. He quoted I
Timothy 6:17-19: “Command those who are rich in
this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their
hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their
hope in God, who richly provides us with everything
for our enjoyment. Command them to do good,
to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and
willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for
themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age,
so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”
As we progress through a new year which will
undoubtedly present distinctive challenges as well
as opportunities, we urge you to help Orange
Grove meet the needs of more than 700 individuals
with developmental disabilities who depend upon
our services. We also suggest that you follow Mr.
Glenn’s wise guidance and seek life that is truly life.

Jasmine Strickland
Jasmine has been in Orange Grove’s Children’s Services since
2008, just after she turned 16. She is outgoing, witty, loves her
school work, and is the classroom motivator. She often takes on
the role of peer tutor with other students in the classroom.
Jasmine especially enjoys her time working in the community and
has had jobs through the work-based learning program at
Applebee’s, the Community Kitchen, Girls Preparatory School and
Meri Meals. Jasmine loves to use her earnings to eat out and shop.
She splurges on clothing, accessories, jewelry and make-up. She
also loves shopping for and giving birthday presents to her family
and close friends. When she graduates, Jasmine is poised to
continue her success with employment in the community.
Brian Thomas
Brian first came to Orange Grove Children’s Services in 2005 when he was 11 years old. He was essentially non-verbal,
except that he would repeat words he heard others use over and over. He was most content sitting at a table building and
rebuilding Lego block structures throughout the day. He also enjoyed pushing a cart around the OGC grounds. He was not,
however, interactive with the many people he saw every day at the Center. Visitors to the classroom were ignored, even if
they tried to engage him in conversation or an activity.
Staff worked hard with Brian to encourage him to be a part of the world around him. Because of their perseverance, love
and teamwork, Brian’s true personality slowly began to emerge. The first day he spoke to his occupational therapist as he
passed her in the hall, greeting her with “Hi, Sam!” she burst into tears.
Now 19, Brian, is very social - speaking to almost everyone he passes, often offering his hand to shake. He takes great pride
in the job training part of his programming and enjoys delivering towels throughout the Center. He also participates in
swimming, music and art programs.
Brian’s story bears witness to the indomitable nature of
the human spirit and the transformative effect of people
who work together with a common vision.

Adult Services
The goal of our adult programming is to meet the ongoing
needs of our population in all areas of their lives. Because we
recognize that each person we serve has unique wants, needs,
and abilities, all services are tailored to the individual with an
eye toward helping the individual meet his or her personal goals
for a rich, satisfying life.
Adult Comprehensive Training (ACT)
121 individuals served
Programming is individualized based on abilities and interests.
Programming emphasizes vocational and daily living skills,
exploring new interests and new activities, including creative
arts. Individuals also explore and participate in employment and
community service-related opportunities.
Community Supports
142 individuals served
We partner with businesses to
provide assembly and packaging
services for their products. The
win-win arrangement delivers a
necessary service to the business
while providing our individuals
with meaningful work and a way
to earn wages.
We recycle electronics by
disassembling them, sorting
and selling various component
parts and diverting thousands of
pounds of discarded electronics
from landfills.
The individuals who work in ITC are
paid wages for work done in the
Center.

The ultimate goal of community supports is to place and support
the individuals we serve in competitive employment as we help
them work toward independence.
Community Enclaves (107 individuals served): Orange Grove
partners with local employers to provide employment for
the individuals we serve. Eleven local businesses employ the
individuals we serve in a number of capacities.
Community Participation (22 Tennessee individuals, 7 Georgia
individuals served): Individuals served in this program are paired
with local agencies and businesses for volunteer opportunities.
Our individuals gave back to their community by volunteering
more than 40 hours each week at places like the Chattanooga
Nature Center, Meals on Wheels and the Chattanooga Humane
Educational Society.
School-to-Work (9 individuals served): Individuals in this program
are soon-to-be or high school graduates who are job-ready and
need help with skill building and job development. The program
includes work adjustment support, job readiness training, heavy
equipment certification training and job placement services.
Ticket-to-Work (4 individuals served): This program is a free
and voluntary program available through the Social Security
Administration to people ages 18 through 64 who are blind
or have a disability and who receive Social Security Disability
Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
With Orange Grove’s support, individuals participating in the
Ticket-to-Work Program can get the help they need to explore
their work options and find the job that is right for them without
immediately losing their benefits. Individuals can also use a
combination of work incentives to maximize their income until
they begin to earn enough to support themselves.

Lookout Mountain Golf Club.
A Lunch for Champions
Job Fair
The March Internal Job Fair was successful
another year, as school-age and adult individuals
were able to visit various displays about
employment opportunities around the Center.
The purpose of the event was to ensure the
people we support are able to make informed
choices about the different jobs that exist
and become as independent as possible.
The new Tennessee Vols
football coach, Butch
Jones, was the 2013
speaker for the Lunch for
Champions.
It was Jones’s first public
appearance in the
Scenic City.
Block Party
As part of the
60th anniversary
celebration, Orange
Grove and Memorial
Hospital partnered for
a community block
party for individuals
served by the Center,
staff and others
from the Glenwood
community.

Lately, Martin has worked to improve his health. After
losing 71 lbs. and greatly increasing his mobility,
Martin decided to be more active in sports like
basketball and bowling.
In his spare time, he watches Tennessee Vols,
Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Braves games, in
addition to other sports and teams. He cheers for
local teams by attending Chattanooga Lookouts
and UTC Mocs games.
