to update you about the programs at Crotched Mountain
that serve people with many kinds of disabilities. But this time I’d like to talk
about one young man, whom I’ll call Chris, whose life has changed significantly for
the better while at Crotched Mountain’s Cedars Point program for adolescents with
serious emotional disturbances. Chris, who is 17, came to us after residing in a
number of different living situations. He was referred to us because his conduct had
become problematic and those caring for him could no longer manage his behaviors.
Since arriving in October, Chris has come a long way, in part because he has begun to
experience the safety of trusting relationships that have eluded him his whole life.
This was accomplished through a clinical program that focuses on self-regulation of
emotions and behaviors, and finding self-worth through self-acceptance, knowledge
and understanding.
Granted, healing takes time and a great deal of hard work, and Chris has a long
way to go. But we know the healing has begun and that, with continued care, safety
and guidance, it will continue.
Chris’ healing journey was facilitated not only by skilled clinical interventions.
His healing was also advanced by something more ineffable—a trusting connection we
can’t measure, hold in our hands or post as an image on our website. You can only
experience it through knowing Chris and witnessing the progress he has made in his
journey of healing. One way to get a glimpse into this journey is to read the moving
songs and poetry he’s composed since arriving at Cedars Point, one of which he has
agreed to share below.
Chris and young people like him are our teachers. They remind us every day of
the resiliency of the human spirit and that the work we do is valuable to the people
we serve—and to the larger world. When Chris returns home it will be with
new skills and confidence, and the knowledge that
healing is possible, life can get
better.

(CMS) Performing Arts classes, along with
the Active Ingredients Dance Troup, performed
Rats! The Story of the Pied Piper. The performance was
directed by music teacher Bonnie Arpin and reading
specialist Karen Vincent. Together, they worked for
many months with the students and staff of the school
to make this delightful holiday production.

It’s a Kid’s Life
CARING FOR THE WHOLE CHILD AT CROTCHED MOUNTAIN
Maria starts the day in the therapy pool with her aide, Lisa Brissette.
F
OR MOST CHILDREN,
a visit to the hospital is a rare
and brief occurrence. But for children with chronic,
medically complex conditions, the hospital is a fact of
life. At Crotched Mountain Specialty Hospital, medical care
comes with some pretty great amenities, allowing students
attending Crotched Mountain School (CMS) to enjoy life as
typical kids, as they go to class, explore the woods, play
video games, swim and participate in Special Olympics,
dance and even hang out in a tree house.
This may come as a surprise to those who know the
hospital as a rehabilitation center for people recovering from
brain injuries and other neurological conditions. But for
many years now, we’ve provided skilled nursing care for
children with complex medical conditions so that they can
go to school. Today, eight children receive skilled nursing
supports through the hospital and attend Crotched Mountain
School. “It takes a community like Crotched Mountain to
provide for the whole child,” says Jean Harding, a care coor-

dinator who works with the eight students and their families. “We offer students a busy life with all the benefits of a
full campus of activities.”
The hospital works very closely with CMS, a fully
accredited special education school adjacent to the hospital.
“If a student has a bad night, the teacher will know about
it, or if a student isn’t feeling well in class, communication
with the medical team is immediate. Dr. McCartie, our fulltime pediatrician, has a relationship with all the students on
the unit and sees them in all settings,” Jean adds.
Thirteen-year-old Maria has attended CMS since 2005.
She is diagnosed with autism, developmental delays and a
number of other complex medical conditions that require
24-hour skilled nursing care. She came to Crotched Mountain
Specialty Hospital after her family could no longer provide
the care she required at home.
Maria’s mother, Carol, is a nurse practitioner. She says
that even with her advanced medical training, Maria’s needs
were too complex to manage at home. “We did everything
we could, and it just became too difficult for everyone.”
Maria is also unable to digest food, and receives nutrition and medications through a J-tube that connects directly
to her intestines. This, along with other medical needs,
requires her to leave the classroom several times a day and
return to the hospital unit for care.
“When she was at home, if she had to see the doctor, I
would leave work, pick her up at school, take her to the
appointment and then bring her home,” says Carol. “I was
missing work and Maria was missing school.”
At Crotched Mountain, everything Maria needs is within
a short walk, beginning with her early morning, 90-minute
swim in the therapy pool where, with Lisa Brissette, her
LNA and teaching assistant, Maria enjoys playing in the water.
“The pool satisfies her sensory needs. She loves it and would
spend all day here if she could.” says Lisa. “After expending
energy here in the morning, she can focus better in class.”
Maria likes to be on the move. In the classroom, she
might spend 20 minutes using her picture communication
system to choose activities like playing with her favorite
musical toy, or doing a shape-matching puzzle. “Then she’s
ready for a walk,” says Lisa, who admirably keeps up with
Maria’s impressive energy level.
Teacher Ellen Banning notes that since arriving at CMS,
Maria, who is non-verbal, has made improvements making eye
contact and communicating with pictures and hand gestures.
Carol couldn’t be happier. “Crotched Mountain goes
above and beyond. I especially trust the staff with non-verbal
patients. I see how they interact with them and get to know
them. I never have to worry,” she says. Jean says the unit
does everything it can to make the atmosphere as warm and
home-like as possible. “It’s family-centered care. We’re never
closed to family and friends who can take part in therapy
and other campus activities.” Carol agrees. “Crotched Mountain provides love. There is nothing better than this.”
Maria and her teacher, Ellen Banning, work together on a puzzle.
Maria can return to her room periodically for medications and nutrition.

The Right Tools
REVEAL THE RIGHT STUFF
Andrew could be evaluated for an
augmentative communication device,”
recalls Erika, Andrew’s mother. “ATECH
Services speech and language pathologist Heather Gray came to the house
with a number of different devices so we
could determine what would work best.”
From that day onward, says Heather,
“Andrew just blew everyone away. He
was a brilliant kid right from the start.”
Andrew’s chair is normally equipped with leg rests but sometimes he chooses not to
use them as he can control his knee switch better without them.
W
the
intrusion of technology
in our lives—cell phones,
e-mail, Twitter and too many remotes
with too many buttons—but for some,
technology is the medium that helps
them shine.
The staff of ATECH Services of
Crotched Mountain can attest to that.
ATECH provides assistive technology
solutions to New Hampshire residents
with disabilities. They’ve witnessed
again and again what the right tools
E MAY BEMOAN
can do to help an individual achieve
his fullest potential.
Five-year-old Andrew Burgher is
one of those shining examples. Born
with cerebral palsy, Andrew has little
volitional control of his body and has
difficulty speaking. But with the right
tools, Andrew can move independently
from one place to another and easily
communicate with his family, friends
and classmates.
“When Andrew was three, we
were referred to ATECH Services so
Thanks to his
communication device,
Andrew is in the
highest reading group
in kindergar ten.
When choosing a communication
device, as well as other adaptive equipment, ATECH consumers have the
opportunity to give the new technology a trial run before purchase.
“Two weeks into the trial, Andrew
came into our office in Concord and
with his device said, ‘Hello!’ then
asked, ‘How are you?’ “How many
three-year-olds do you know who ask
that?” Heather marvels. “Once he had

With Bluetooth software loaded into his wheelchair operating system, Andrew can
control the computer with his knee switch.
the device, we also learned what a great
sense of humor he has,” Erika adds.
Andrew uses an augmentative
communication device called a Vantage which features a computer screen
display that scans images, words and
letters and is controlled by the user
through a switch. Using this strategy,
Andrew puts individual words
together to make full sentences. The
device then vocalizes with synthesized
speech or can be customized to use
recorded human speech. “After testing
switches with Andrew’s head and feet,
we discovered that he had the most
control with his knees,” says Erika.
With a switch controlled by his
left knee, Andrew chooses concepts
and words to communicate with those
around him. According to Heather, he
scans quickly—at four-tenths of a
second—and is in the highest-level
reading group in his kindergarten class.
ATECH was called in to evaluate
Andrew again about six months later—
this time for a power wheelchair.
“Previously we used a large
stroller which made him dependent
on others to move him from place to
place. I had no idea he would be able
to operate a wheelchair without using
his hands,” recalls Erika.
Again, ATECH set up a number
of different possibilities to determine
what would work best for him. And
again, Andrew’s knees showed the
most control. Now, while Andrew
operates his communication device
with his left knee, he drives his
wheelchair with his right.
“His personality really developed
with the use of the chair,” says Erika.
“He was able to assert his independence. Before he got the chair Andrew
7
was more quiet and reserved. Now his
personality is vibrant, and he can get
away from his mother when he
wants!” she jokes.
Now that Andrew is mobile and
able to communicate, ATECH continues to monitor his needs, including
home and school computer access, as
well as other accessibility requirements
in his classroom. And they keep the
family up-to-date on technological
advances. So far, they’ve looked into a
foot-controlled joystick to drive his
chair and are exploring an eye scan
computer system.
But the best thing of all, says Erika,
is the joy Andrew gets from showing
his cousins the latest computer games
he’s found. “Independence, communication, playing games on the computer
—it’s all fabulous!”

ATECH Services: What We Do
ATECH’s four programs offer a comprehensive mix
of exploration, consultation, training and equipment.
New Hampshire Assistive Technology Evaluation and Consultation
(NH-ATEC) provides evaluations, consultations and recommendations to individuals and organizations in the areas of seating and
mobility, communication, computer access, electronic aids, and
home and worksite modifications implemented by a team of
occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language
pathologists and rehabilitation technicians. Approximately 1,650
services were provided last year.
ATECH occupational therapist Rob Tacker conducts a seating
pressure map. The sensors in the cushion show where pressure is the
greatest and skin breakdown most likely. ATECH then designs a
cushion and seating protocol to address the trouble spots.
A
offers creative solutions for everyone
—from outfitting a two-year-old boy with a power
wheelchair, to pressure mapping a mattress for a
97-year-old woman. If a person has difficulty completing a
task because of a disability, the use of the right assistive
technology solution can make all the difference.
Evaluations by ATECH’s staff of speech-language
pathologists and occupational and physical therapists can
happen in the home, classroom, workplace or wherever a
client experiences an accessibility challenge. Clinical staff
and consumers are then supported by ATECH’s crack team
of certified technicians.
ATECH began solving accessibility problems in 1994,
following the closing of the Laconia State School. Over the
years it evolved from a Laconia-based program to a multi-site
organization offering an array of assistive technology services
and products to individuals, schools and organizations
across the state. ATECH Services has helped over 20,000
New Hampshire residents with disabilities to reach their
goals through assistive technology. ATECH joined Crotched
Mountain’s family of services in 2007.
TECH SERVICES
The Technology Exploration Center (TEC) offers cutting-edge
product research and training, adaptive technical support and a
technology loan program.
The Refurbished Equipment Marketplace (REM) makes donated
and refurbished durable medical equipment available for
purchase at reduced cost. REM staff is certified to repair and
service equipment according to manufacturers’ specifications
and safety recommendations. Approximately 500 people were
served last year.
Vision and Hearing Services (VHS) coordinates several projects
to assist students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of
hearing or deaf-blind. Educational and consultation services are
provided on a fee-for-service basis for schools serving students
with these disabilities.
Through the New Hampshire Department of Education
(NH DOE) ATECH also:
• Loans large-print and Braille books and materials and related
assistive technology to students, parents and educators;
• Provides information and referral services to schools and families for students with vision and/or hearing loss;
• Offers professional development resources related to best
practices in vision education.

THE FACE OF PHILANTHROPY
Ted Bacon:World Traveler, Philanthropist
T
BACON settles back in his
chair and smiles as he recounts
a recent trip to France. “I was
showing a group of Amherst College
alumni around the little town at
Arrowmanches Beach, where the US
Navy had constructed an artificial
port to supply the D-Day invasion,”
he explains, “when someone must
have overheard and realized that a
World War II veteran was visiting.”
A little later, the mayor came out of
his office wearing a fancy sash, and
to Ted’s complete surprise, presented
him with two medals, honoring him
as a returning US Navy war hero.
The mayor made a little speech,
capturing the attention of dozens of
visiting schoolchildren, all of whom
then wanted to have their photo
taken with Bacon.
Married 67 years to Sarah, his
eyes light up when he speaks of his
late wife. The Bacons became engaged
while both were in the Navy, just 36
days after meeting in a cryptography
class he was teaching. Among the
first “in service” personnel to marry
during the war, Sarah was required to
have orders from the secretary of the
Navy to be “out of uniform” and
wear her wedding dress! Ted and
Sarah traveled the world during and
after the war, including 24 trips to
Egypt, where Ted was a trustee at The
American University in Cairo.
ED
Ted taught Urban and Regional
Planning at UMass Amherst for 30
years while he and Sarah were raising three sons. “I loved the subject
and the students,” he recalls. Ted
remembers that his parents always
gave modest amounts to several
charities and as soon as he was able,
he began his own personal philanthropy.
Moving to nearby Peterborough
in 1997, he learned about Crotched
Mountain and has been a generous
supporter, making several major gifts
including setting up a Crotched
Mountain Charitable Gift Annuity.
“You do good work,” he smiles. Ted
should know, as he is a client of our
Audiology Clinic. “And I certainly
encourage others to support
Crotched Mountain as well,” he adds.
Nominated by Crotched Mountain Foundation and several other
hospitals he supports, Ted was recently
presented with the Distinguished Service to Philanthropy Award for 2010
by the New England Association of
Healthcare Philanthropy at their
annual luncheon.
Today at 91, Ted enjoys living at
the RiverMead retirement community in Peterborough, although he’s
not home much. Earlier this year, he
visited Australia and New Zealand,
and he has just returned from London
and Paris. “I’m never bored,” he admits.
Last year on a Thanskgiving trip to
Florida, he drove the length of the Keys.
When he is home, Ted attends
Crotched Mountain’s annual meeting
and keeps up to date on our latest
accomplishments. He has visited the
wood chip plant and looks forward to
walking the new accessible trails.
But in the meantime, he has
more traveling to do. “When I’m
old,” he laughs, “I’ll visit eastern
Canada and places closer to home.”
For now he has his sights set on
returning to China and Europe.
For more information about the many
ways you can support Crotched Mountain
please contact Laura Rauscher, development officer, or Pat Whitney, director of
annual giving, to explore the kind of gift
that feels right for you at 603.547.3311

MEET THE GRAIN BARREL CREW
TRACKING CHANGES
Most Tuesday mornings, visitors to Sunnyfield Farm are likely to see our lively crew,
John, Andy, Harris and Chris, carrying buckets of grain from the main barn down to
the chicken house. Through all kinds of
weather, these intrepid students use teamwork to carry the grain supply for some
80 chickens. Each student has gained skills
in staying on task and following directions
while enhancing gross motor abilities.
“IT” IS A BEAUTIFUL THING
Kin Schilling, a good friend
to Crotched Mountain
School and former consultant to the Earth Connections class, was recognized
as one of 25 New Hampshire people you need to know on New
Hampshire Magazine’s It List. An artist and
entrepreneur who has spearheaded numerous
successful businesses in the area, she connected with CMS through her Cornucopia Project, which “teaches sustainable and nourishing
life practices to children by connecting them to
the land.” Kin worked with CMS students to
create accessible garden beds on campus, and
at the Norway Hill gardens in nearby Hancock.

EACHER D ONNA C OLLINS ’ fourth

Brook Trail as part of a project to study
changes in the landscape over time. The
students chose five places along the trail

WE’RE NOT IN GREENFIELD FOR NOTHIN’
Patients and residents at Crotched Mountain are more comfortable this winter,
thanks to a new connection to our central
biomass district heating system made possible by a $176,532 grant from the New
Hampshire Public Utilities Commission’s
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction
Fund (GGERF). The project allowed two
of the larger buildings on campus to be
connected to our central district heating
plant that uses wood chips harvested
from New Hampshire forests. Previously
these buildings used a less efficient steam
heating system powered by fossil fuels.
CM projects an annual reduction of close
to 25,000 gallons of oil use, and a corresponding emmission reduction of over
250 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
life adapts to the changing seasons.
Students take pictures, make graphs
and record changes at the five areas

FLYING HIGH
Kites Over New England
(KONE), a kite-flying
enthusiast group and a
perennial favorite at CM,
hosted their indoor kiteflying competition in the
CM gymnasium in
November. After the
official competition, CMS
students had an opportunity to show their skills during an impromptu
contest. Students True and Hannah won the
top two spots. KONE has taken CM under
its wing over the years, providing us with
entertainment and excitement with activities
like kite-making and indoor flying. KONE will
return for the 2010 Fall Festival on Columbus Day weekend, and if the wind is right,
over forty kites of every shape and size will
soar overhead.

Hearing Voices (Speaking in Tongues)
April 22, 3:30 - 5pm
Carter Hall at Crotched Mountain
Crotched Mountain presents an awardwinning show about love and schizophrenia.
Michael Mack was a little boy when his mother
was first diagnosed with schizophrenia—
becoming convinced that she was the Virgin
Mary.
One in every five families faces a major
mental illness, and the stunning transformation
of a loved one can strike a child mute. But
Michael Mack has found his voice, and he
shares it with others in his feature-length,
solo play Hearing Voices (Speaking in Tongues).
Over a decade in creation, Mack’s multicharacter, one-man show is a lyric memoir of
his mother’s odyssey through state hospitals,
halfway houses, jails and homelessness, until
she finds recovery through unexpected
grace. Exploring the shadowy landscape
between psychosis and religious illumination,
Hearing Voices (Speaking in Tongues) is one
family’s remarkable journey of deliverance.
Mack has toured with the show nationwide and excerpts have been published in
major publications. For more information,

In celebration of Poetry and Mental
Health Months (April and May), Crotched
Mountain is pleased to welcome Michael
Mack on Thursday, April 22 with a Q&A after
the show. The performance will be held in
Car ter Hall at Crotched Mountain.
The performance is free and open to
the public. It is sponsored by the Crotched
Mountain Hilliard Series which honors
Clint Hilliard, former head of the Speech and
Language Depar tment.
