A Real Millennial Child It is easy for children like eight year old Annie to end up in a nursing home, or worse. Born with atrial isomerism, polysplenia, heterotaxy, and dysphagia and more, she needs round-the-clock care. Because of Childkind, she lives at home and is a beloved member of a skilled foster family. Her health and wellbeing are far better for it. Advances in medical care have made Annie part of an emerging population rarely seen prior to the start of this millennium. Because of Childkind, Annie will have the services and care she will need so that she can stay with her family well into her adult years. Reforming Permanency for Children with Complex Care Needs During 2014 Childkind initiated a project with the Office of the Child Advocate and DFCS to develop comprehensive child-specific permanency plans for children in foster care who have very complex medical care requirements. Our goal is to lay the foundation for a new way to approach permanency planning. This project is designed to ensure that requisite services are always available for children with complex care needs, both now and in the future, as their health and wellbeing will always be dependent upon receiving appropriate daily skilled care, regardless of their age. It is critical, therefore, that parents who adopt or become their guardians are fully prepared and have the needed supports, Medicaid Home and Community Based Services, and even estate planning to meet the child’s long-term needs. Long-term risks for children with complex care needs: Institutionalization Isolation & depression Neglect Poverty Early death Behavioral & Developmental Placement Services (New Program) Services Program Two Hours, Four Times Per Day This is not a regimen of care. It reflects the frequency of violent tantrums of hitting, biting, object throwing by Jimmy, a young boy with autism. His parents simply could not manage his behavior; it had been over a year since they could take the child anywhere outside of the home. Host family placement for individuals with developmental disabilities, training for maladaptive behavior related to a disability, and other behavioral support services. 2014 Program Highlights Host Homes under supervision 2 Host Homes in process 4 Maladaptive behavioral intervention and training 10 Behavioral support services 17 Today his outbursts are limited to 15 minutes once per week. What made the difference for the parents was the training they received by Childkind staff in managing his behavior. From Foster Family to Host Family Karen found her permanent home with a Host Family from Childkind. Needing round-the-clock care and special adaptive equipment, she came to Childkind needing foster placement. Amanda, her foster parent, made a life-long commitment to Karen and decided to become her long-term Host Parent. This provides Karen with a more supported and more stable home than she would have found through a traditional adoption. Maladaptive behaviors on the part of a child with developmental disabilities can be the cause of much distress and even physical harm in families. Foster placement disruption, failed adoptions, institutional placement, and state custody are common outcomes for this population. Without the means to communicate anger and other complex emotions, children with developmental disabilities can resort to anti-social and even violent behavior. With Childkind’s supportive teaching, parents and caregivers can learn how to effectively manage their child’s disruptive behaviors. What are Maladaptive Behaviors? “Abnormal behavior of such intensity, frequency or duration that the physical safety of the person or others is placed in jeopardy, or behavior which is likely to limit or deny access to the use of ordinary community facilities.” In-home medical care instruction, advocacy, care coordination, case Home Based Services Placement Services Program management, and support services for children with complex health Program care needs and their families 2014 Program Highlights Families Served—Supportive Care Coordination (Intensive multidisciplinary in-home services) 53 Families Served—Family Support Services (In-home support and intervention services) 50 Families Served—Service Advocacy and Basic Support 127 Training Participants 175 An intervention that works According to a recent study by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, children with complex medical care needs spend less time hospitalized after receiving Childkind’s Home Based Services. The study looked at families who completed our Home Bases Services Programing.

But so are the social and environmental circumstances in which the child and family live. Olivia was born with Crouzon Syndrome, Chronic Repertory Failure and other serious issues. She is trach dependent, receives oxygen as needed, and has supplemental feeding through a g-tube. Her records indicate she has developmental delays, though Childkind staff have concluded her cognitive abilities are fairly advance, hidden by her physical disability. Isolation, family stress, lack of support services, insufficient household income—all of these factors can contribute to poor health outcomes for the child and his or her family as well. Childkind’s Nursing Services program takes a holistic approach, giving consideration to wellbeing of each unique family we serve. In addition to providing direct care nursing, Childkind helped the mother enroll her daughter in school, obtain an IEP plan, and establish supportive therapies (physical, occupational, and speech) at school. The mother, a single parent, could now shift her nursing hours to nighttime. Childkind social workers identified counseling services for an older daughter, adversely affected by the complex nature of her siblings special care needs. Additionally, Childkind staff helped the mother locate other programs in the community for Olivia. Olivia had been receiving nursing services from a different stand-alone agency for many years. 2014 Operating Information Information from our business operations Growing 2014 Revenue Sources Fees for Service $1,671,537 Per Deims/Pass-through $1,667,182 Foundations $315,000 Public Grants $271,068 Unrestricted $64,360 Total Revenue $3,989,147 Healthy Selected Accounts—12/31/14 Cash $610,282 Debt $0 Fund Balance $917,338 For a copy of our 2014 Audited Financials: Please email Karl Lehman at [email protected] Unrestricted $763,551 For a copy of our IRS Form 990 go to www.guidestar.org Temporarily Restricted $153,787 For a copy of our Foster Care program’s state valuation, go to https://www.gascore.com/content/page.cfm/265/ Click on the RBWO Provider Profit Guide tab. 2014 Supporters A special thanks to the foundations, organizations and people who make our work possible!
