Annual Report 2014 - The Arc of Chester County

Annual Report
2013-14
A Message from
the President
I
t is with great pleasure that I share with you the details of The Arc of Chester
County’s successful fiscal year 2013-2014 and express our appreciation and
gratitude for your generosity and support. I am very pleased to share with you
that the organization has continued its strong history of balanced budgets,
ending the fiscal year responsibly. Your contributions, time and talent as
volunteers, and your support of our accomplishments are truly changing lives
of individuals with disabilities and their families and caregivers. We have indeed
together, achieved success!
On the next few pages you’ll meet Jack Bradley, a three-year-old born with
intellectual and developmental disabilities compounded by significant
medically complex conditions, who with The Arc’s Early Intervention Homebased and Preschool program and services, has made remarkable progress in
his development from an infant to a preschooler. You will also read about the
richly deserved annual awards presented to individuals and businesses this year,
whose efforts in the community have truly made a difference for individuals with
disabilities and their families.
We are so grateful to all the generous individuals, corporations, foundations,
community groups, and volunteers listed in these pages that have touched the
lives of nearly 3,000 individuals and their families, by supporting our quality
programs and services provided by our dedicated staff at The Arc. Because of
your commitment to individuals with disabilities, we are able to continue to
offer and provide much needed programs and services and give individuals with
disabilities the best chance at a quality of life.
As I complete my first term as President, I‘d like to thank all of you for giving me
the opportunity to serve, to be a part of this wonderful and caring organization
and to be a member of The Arc community. I look forward to the opportunity for
continued success together with your support this coming year. Thank you, for
achieving with us!!
Sincerely,
Jessica Straghan
Faces of The Arc:
Jack Bradley
J
ack Bradley is an amazing preschooler. Born with a chromosome malformation,
Jack, now three years old, has intellectual and developmental disabilities
compounded by tracheostomy and a heart condition. Since birth, Jack has
endured multiple surgeries, has visual challenges, is tube-fed and non-verbal,
and did not crawl or walk at the appropriate age. While in The Arc’s Early
Intervention Home-based program, Jack’s parents were empowered to manage
Jack’s disability; learning how to support Jack’s physical, developmental, medical
and social needs. Jack made great strides; learning to sit, reach for things and
stand with assistive equipment. Jack made significant progress developmentally
and physically, expressing his wants and needs and his likes and dislikes to
his parents and caregivers; enough so, that when it came time to consider
preschool, Jack and his family knew they were ready to take the next steps and
were looking forward to the opportunity of preschool. Jack’s parents never
hesitated for one minute about Jack attending preschool as many parents of
children with disabilities might. Rather than being nervous for him, Jack’s parents
were excited about Jack going to school
and spreading his wings. “When we met
Judy and Elaine, Jack’s therapists in the home-based program, I knew how amazing
they were right from the start. Being a teacher, I have met many different kinds of
therapists. We knew immediately that Jack needed to go to the same school Judy
and Elaine worked. Even though neither are his therapists any longer, it’s clear
that The Arc only hires exceptional people.” says Jack’s mother. The Arc’s staff was
integral in the seamless transition for Jack and his family from home-based services
to educational support and having a successful start. In the preschool program
for over four months now, Jack participates in “circle time” every morning with
his fellow students, moves to the beat of the drums and the tambourine during
music therapy, and is becoming stronger every day in standing and walking with
assistance. “It is truly amazing to see how Jack has progressed since he was an
infant and toddler, to now a preschooler who is enjoying all of his new preschool
experiences. The smile on his face when
he comes into school makes our day.” says
Judy Glass, Director of Children’s Early Learning Services/Programs and Jack’s former
Arc Home-based Occupational Therapist. Jack’s parents are most grateful for The Arc’s preschool nurses on staff. “Without Nurse
Tina, it would be tough for Jack to attend preschool for as long as he does, nearly a
full day. We feel comfortable knowing that Jack’s needs are being met and he has the
opportunity to be surrounded by his friends, teachers, and therapists in a warm and
caring learning environment.” Jack’s parents, Miranda and Joe, both teachers in the
Great Valley School District, are active in their community and take Jack everywhere.
Outside of school, Jack, his family and friends enjoy trips to the aquarium, the zoo,
the park, as well as one of his most favorite activities, attending Philadelphia Phillies’
baseball games. “We are more confident parents because of the circle of supports Jack
has at The Arc. Nothing holds us back from a day of experiencing great family fun.”
says Jack’s mother.

Arc Awards 2014
The President’s Award – The Rogers Family
The Rogers Family, including Allen and Phyllis Rogers, son Phillip Rogers, daughter Kathy Fox and nephew, Steve DiMarco are
long-time supporters of individuals with disabilities specifically,
a passion for children with autism. The Rogers family has been
working tirelessly to ensure individuals with autism have the opportunity to be successful, to participate in the community and
have the best chance at a quality of life. The Rogers families have
been ardent supporters of The Arc since 2006, working to increase awareness for individuals with disabilities by holding major
events, raising funds, and volunteering their time and resources.
Allen, Phil, and Steve have annually hosted The Arc’s Golf Outing
since 2011 raising over $60,000 for The Arc. From sponsorships,
to the beautiful venue and golf course, Penn Oaks Golf Club in
West Chester, this event is a huge success year after year because
of these individuals. Allen, Phil, and Steve have also held several benefit events where proceeds raised were donated to
support The Arc’s programs and services. Allen has developed a community partnership for The Arc with the Glen MillsThornbury Rotary, who generously supports The Arc’s ABBLE program, a program for two-year-olds with autism, improving the lives of so many children with autism and their families. Every year, Phyllis coordinates holiday toy and food drives
along with the entire family and local businesses to ensure children with disabilities and their families have a wonderful
holiday. Thousands of toys, donations, and food have been collected year after year from the Penn Oaks Golf Club, Rogers
and Rogers LPL Financial, and the Roger’s families’ holiday toy drives.

Employer of the Year Award – Marshalls Department Store (Exton, PA)
For the past several years, Marshalls Department Store in Exton has partnered with The Arc’s Comprehensive Employment Services (CES) program to provide job opportunities for five individuals with disabilities from The Arc’s CES program.
Marshalls sees their partnership with The Arc and working with people with disabilities from their local community as a
win-win situation. CES program participants working at Marshalls have exactly the attitude Marshalls looks for in their employees and wants to ensure that Marshalls is a special place to not only earn a paycheck, but be included in every way. Ultimately, Marshalls sees ability, not disability, in the people they work with and they
build an employment experience based
on that perception. Marshalls goes beyond
what could be expected of an employer
as they give people a chance to hold a job
by being flexible in dealing with unique
needs, and by showing compassion and
understanding when there are struggles,
all while holding to a high standard of
doing an excellent job for their customers. They have created a climate where
people with disabilities are an integral part
of their team and where each employee is
valued for his or her own unique contribu-
tion. Thanks to the cooperation and spirit of the Marshalls management team and staff, five individuals with disabilities are
flourishing in an inclusive work environment.

Volunteer of the Year - The Friars’
and Abbes’ Societies of West
Chester University
The Friars’ and Abbes’ Societies of West Chester
University are service organizations that focus on
enhancing the University and surrounding community through various service projects. Since 2007,
The Arc has relied on the help of both of these
organizations for many events and activities held
throughout the year. Their thousands of service
hours over the years have included holiday decorating, flipping pancakes and serving hundreds of
families at The Arc’s annual Breakfast with Santa
and serving a delicious barbeque at The Arc’s first
“Ride for The Arc” motorcycle fundraiser held annually in September. Annually, they wait tables for the
Recreation Thanksgiving Dinner and volunteer for
the Self Determination Awards Luncheon and Arc
Achievement Walk, 5k Run & Fun Day. The Abbes and Friars also supported The Arc’s annual fundraising campaign, calling
donors for the annual phon-a-thon, helping to raise thousands of dollars for The Arc’s programs and services. Both organizations are full of passionate leaders who The Arc can always count on and are ready to help out at a moment’s notice. The
Abbes and Friars dedication and support has been invaluable and their commitment to the community is unending.

Student Affairs. )
Advocate of the Year Award – Dr. Monica McHale-Small
Dr. Monica McHale-Small has worked tirelessly as a professional in the field of education to improve education in Chester County and in her home district, Coatesville Area School District, as well across Pennsylvania and nationwide. Monica
has been a supporter and partner to The Arc for many years,
helping students with disabilities and their families gain an
understanding of navigating the special education system as
well as working to improve the special education system for all
individuals with disabilities and their families. Monica resides in
Coatesville and believes strongly in the Coatesville community
and school district and plays a major role in the current revitalization of this district. Monica’s commitment and work in the
community has increased the understanding of the special education system and highlights the opportunity to improve the responsiveness of school staff and programs and the effectiveness
of community-based organization in ensuring children receive
the supports they need to succeed in school and beyond.
