Annual Report
December 2009
This year has been filled with reflection and celebration as we marked
the 75th anniversary of Heartspring. What started as the dream of Dr.
Martin F. Palmer in a fourth floor classroom at the University of
Wichita has grown into an international resource for children with
special needs.
During the early years of Heartspring, then known as the Institute of
Logopedics, there were virtually no resources available for children
with disabilities except for the state schools for children with vision
or hearing impairments. Heartspring was the first comprehensive
special education program for children with multiple disabilities and
the first residential rehabilitation center for children and adults with
language disorders. Children came from across the country and
families moved to Wichita so that their children could receive the care
and treatment they so desperately needed. Professionals and
community leaders from around the world learned what could be
done for children with disabilities and returned home to start their
own programs. Public awareness increased, and in the 1970s, federal
law finally recognized the right of all children to an appropriate
education regardless of disability.
As we celebrate 75 years of unparalleled service to children, we
cannot sit back and rest on past accomplishments. There is much
more to do, and our programs are still growing. The number of
children in this country with autism and other developmental
disabilities is staggering, and Heartspring is at the forefront of
working with those with the most challenging problems. It is
estimated that there are more than 155 million children with
disabilities in developing countries alone, and most do not have
access to care or assistance. As in the past, Heartspring continues to
reach out to pioneers in other countries with recognition and training
as they develop programs in their communities to meet the unmet
needs of their children.
Our story is one of challenge, innovation, perseverance and service to
children here at home, across the country and around the world. Our
legacy is evident in the lives that have been changed. One parent
recently reflected the experience of many that came before them.
“Heartspring was our last hope for our child, and now she leaves
your care for a more independent and productive life.” What an
awesome responsibility we have; what a wonderful gift that we give.
This could not have been done without generations of marvelous
staff, volunteers, donors and other supporters. Thank you for believing
in our mission, thank you for helping us grow, and thank you for
giving hope where there was none.

ON THE COVER
Heartspring celebrates 75 years of helping children with special needs.
Dr. Martin
Palmer
Pioneer of services for children with special needs
“No child should be denied a chance just because
he cannot speak.” With those words, Dr. Martin F.
Palmer came to Wichita determined to give children
with communicative disorders a new chance in life.
With that determination Heartspring was born.
University of Wichita President William Jardine, impressed by
Palmer’s enthusiasm and determination, named him head of
the Department of Speech Sciences in 1934. In a tiny room on
the fourth floor of the administration building Palmer, his wife
and a small staff began their work. A few years later, their
combined efforts were named the Institute of Logopedics.
Author of numerous scientific publications, Dr. Palmer was a
pioneer in the field of special education and during his time
Heartspring was responsible for many of the breakthroughs
in the treatment of children with multiple disabilities. His
vision enabled children from around the world to reach their
full potential. He had the energy and drive to accomplish
what others had not even imagined. At a time when there
was little public conscience or concern for those with
disabilities, Dr. Palmer had the courage and the foresight to
open new doors for children with special needs.
A distinguished scholar, Dr. Palmer was a member of the
American Academy for Cerebral Palsy, International Council
for Exceptional Children, International Society for
Rehabilitation of the Disabled, U.S. International Committee
on Deafness, and was a member and president of the
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and Kansas
Speech and Hearing Association.
Dr. Palmer was appointed to the President’s Committee on
Employment of the Physically Handicapped in Washington
D.C. in 1958. He also served as director and vice president of
the American Board of Examiners in speech pathology and
audiology and served as a consultant to the Ministry of
Health of India. During his 31 years as founder and director
at Heartspring, Dr. Palmer was listed in “Who’s Who in
America”, “American Men of Science” and “Who’s Who in
Education”. He was a consultant for the World Health
Organization to both Japan and India and a frequent
consultant to state and federal legislatures and government
agencies regarding communication disorders and the needs
of individuals with disabilities.
At the time of his death in 1965, Heartspring was the largest
institute of speech and hearing rehabilitation in the world.
He helped to spread knowledge of treatment for children
with special needs around the globe. Dr. Palmer guided the
organization as director, playing a major role in its growth
and was rewarded with worldwide recognition.
Dr. Palmer left an indelible mark on his students, staff,
colleagues, parents and the children to whom he dedicated
his life’s work. Upon his death, interim director Charles
Wurth said, “One thing, more than any other, will live on as
Martin Palmer’s special lesson to his staff – and that is an
unshakable belief in the worth and dignity of every human
being. It was on that belief that the Institute was built, and
that belief will guide its continued growth.”

Heartspring expands services statewide
through autism waiver program
In response to the growing number of children
diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD),
the Kansas Department of Social and
Rehabilitation Services Home and Community
Based Services (HCBS) introduced an Autism
Waiver program in 2008 to provide intensive early
intervention services to children with autism in
the state of Kansas.
Through this waiver, families of children under the age of five
with an autism diagnosis receive support for up to three years,
working with an autism specialist to coordinate care, up to 25
hours a week of intensive individual support, family counseling,
parent support and respite care.
Kimberly Becker, director of pediatric services at Heartspring,
was involved early on in the research stages of the waiver.
Today, she is on board as an autism specialist and has recruited
other Heartspring professionals to the program.
“There are so many children in Wichita and Kansas that have
autism and there just aren’t enough providers,” said Becker.
“Heartspring needed to step up and say ‘we are a nonprofit
organization and we are here to help kids’. And that’s what we
continue to do by being a part of the waiver.” During 2009,
seven Heartspring specialists provided over 650 hours of
service to six children in four towns across the state.
Heartspring’s mission is helping children with special needs
grow and learn on a path to a more independent life.
According to Becker, Heartspring’s position in the special
education community is all the more reason to participate
in the waiver. “We are able to offer families support,
knowledge and resources,” said Becker. “Building on
the legacy that we care about kids and what happens
to families, being able to serve our community and
some of those rural communities - because we are
able to do that, we should do that.”

CARE: By the numbers
The Community of Autism Resources and Education (CARE) continues to grow and expand to accommodate
the many families in Wichita and surrounding communities searching for services and resources to meet their
needs. In the past year, the CARE program has seen a dramatic increase in the number of families, schools,
and businesses seeking assistance and direction as they strive to provide appropriate services and supports for
children with special needs. Through CARE, parents are able to tap into resources that empower them to be
responsible advocates for their child in school, the community and their home.

Heartspring invited to
international round table
on autism
Director of CARE and autism outreach
The purpose of the Oxford Round Table is to promote
education, art, science, religion and charity by means of
academic conferences and publication of scholarly papers. In
2009, the topic was The Conundrum of Autism; Causes and
Cures. By invitation only, it was an honor to be a part of this
experience as it allowed me to work alongside others in the
field of autism from all over the world, in an attempt to
investigate new theories, advances and innovative programs in
the field of autism.
Sharing Heartspring’s work with others from around the world
propels us onto a world stage and increases our opportunities
to be a valued resource for others worldwide. As a part of the
Oxford Round Table discussion, I was able to share information
regarding the various programs, services and supports
Heartspring provides to families, professionals and
organizations worldwide. My presentation included our
partnership with Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism
in Beijing, China and provided a forum for discussion regarding
the implementation of strategies, supports and interventions in
an environment that requires one to be mindful of access to
resources, funding and cultural differences. The desperate need
for expertise and the incredible lack of resources in China and
other countries has not been addressed on a broad and
sustained level as countries such as the United States and the
UK continue to move forward in their quest to understand the
conundrum of autism; causes and cures. While engaging in
discussions and presentations from various professionals from
around the world, more questions than solutions seemed to be
the norm. What are the issues for neuroscientists? Is encoding
normal in autism? Are we trying to repair the normative
mechanism? These questions as well as the debate over
whether the United States focuses too much attention, funds
and resources on early intervention rather than life long
sustained intervention will continue to be debated in future
Roundtable discussions. As the statistics continue to reflect an
increase in autism spectrum disorders, active participation on a
world stage in discussions such as the Oxford Round Table
increases our capacity to provide quality programs and services
to the families we serve.

Heartspring Comprehensive Consultation Services is a new service created in the spring of 2009 to better

TEACCH improves productivity
and independence for students
In the continuing effort to provide the most
effective programming for students,
Heartspring implemented the TEACCH
(Treatment and Education of Autistic and
Communication handicapped CHildren)
structured teaching program. This method of
teaching focuses on persons with autism and
the development of instruction and supports
based on each individual’s skills, interests,
and needs. TEACCH specialists from the
University of North Carolina were on the
Heartspring campus May 4 - 7, conducting a
training class for staff members.
While autism is the primary focus of TEACCH,
others with developmental disabilities benefit
from the structure and level of intense
individualization, which emphasizes the
8
strengths and interests of each child and young adult.
Environments are organized to emphasize meaningfulness, which
is an approach that has proved crucial to each individual’s ability
to learn, comprehend and apply across learning sessions.
“We were looking for a teaching system that would work in all
of our educational settings and, at the same time, be flexible
enough that it could be customized for each classroom and
home. TEACCH provides that,” said Paul Faber, executive vice
president of operations.
Through TEACCH, the classroom is set up with designated areas
for one-on-one, independent, small group, large group, or leisure
activities for the students.
Teachers in the school have been quick to praise the changes
they see in their students since utilizing this method.
“I was impressed by the student’s ability to adapt quickly to this
method with ease, which demonstrated to me that the method
will be beneficial for my students and their learning
environment,” said Jennifer Luby, special education teacher. “The
TEACCH method has definitely been valuable to the students in
my classroom, and continues to assist as a useful method in
helping our students become productive and independent. This
method has helped prepare our students for the environments
they may encounter in the future.”
“The structured environment provided with the TEACCH
methodology has helped my student stay on task longer with a
lesser degree of prompting,” said Mark Stovall, special education
teacher. “TEACCH has also helped my students follow their
picture schedules better with fewer behaviors on a consistent
basis. Transitioning between activities in classroom is easier,
because the students have learned where the designated areas
are for a particular activity.”
Currently, all of the classrooms in the Heartspring School have
adopted the TEACCH method and implementation has begun in
the group homes.

Liabilities:
Throughout this issue of Heartspring’s Dialogue you have
read information about the successes, the numbers and
types of clients served, and compelling stories. The
financial story also reflects positive results. Net fee income
increased 6.23%. The student population was at or near
capacity throughout fiscal year 2009 while demand for
outpatient services continued strong as well. As a result of
that increased population, coupled with successful staff
recruiting, payroll related expenses also increased as well
as general operating expenses.
Public support through special events, sponsorships and
contributions remained at the high levels attained over the
last few years in the face of the economic downturn.
Endowment and foundation income was similar to last
year. However investment income reflects the general
decrease in yield of short-term investments. Market
conditions that prevailed in the last twelve months
affected the value of endowed funds significantly. It
appears that the bottom of the decline has been reached
and we expect this to show good improvement in the
ensuing fiscal year.
The balance sheet continues to be a good indicator of the
financial strength of Heartspring. Investments increased
significantly during the year and the agency continues to
have no debt.
We are truly grateful for the continuing support of our
agency and look forward to continued improvement of our
service delivery and outcomes for our students, clients and
their families.
