Dear Friends of The Children’s Institute,

For more than 120 years, The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh has forged an amazing path forward. Our goal is always to be more, to do more, to reach more. By successfully navigating the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve, we have built a legacy of providing the highest quality services to individuals with unique abilities and their loved ones that will stretch far into the future.

Vision 2026 is the new strategic plan that will chart our roadmap for the next three years. Read on to learn more about how Our Roadmap to An Amazing Future will strengthen The Children’s Institute. We see a long history of success in the rearview mirror. This new plan leans further into the services we already provide incredibly well, and it also maximizes the abilities of our expert team, defining areas of greater impact for the families we serve.

One of our 30 fundamentals at The Children’s Institute is to “listen generously.” We have been deliberate about listening – to our team, our families, and our community – in the development of the Vision 2026 plan. We also have the privilege to hear amazing success stories, and to share them with friends like you. We hope you are inspired by the resilience and determination of our children and families featured in this issue of Amazing Kids, and by the impact of our talented team members in transforming their lives.

You, too, are on this journey with us. Gifts from individual donors, organizations, businesses, and foundations put the Amazing in Amazing Kids. The quality of our team, our facilities, and our innovative services that drive us to be a best-in-class provider is positively impacted because of your continued commitment to our mission.

For all of us at The Children’s Institute, the journey is our reward. And it is defined by the beautiful stories of promise that happen every day.

Thank you for your continued support,

It’s the journey that counts.

LUCI BURKE GROWS WITH HER GRANDMOTHER’S LOVE

Kindergartener Luci Burke was recognized as her classroom’s Student of the Month this spring. The award brought tears to her grandmother’s eyes.

“I was really emotional about that,” describes Keni Jefferson, who has raised Luci since she was seven months old. “After a very difficult start to the school year, with days where Luci was sent home because of her inappropriate behavior, it meant so much to see her grow and progress into this accomplishment.”

Luci is a silly, spirited child with a unique personality who loves to sing and have special occasion sleepovers in her grandmother’s bed. She was diagnosed with an adjustment disorder and developmental delays due to the trauma of infant neglect before she was placed in Keni’s care. Aggressive behaviors first presented during prekindergarten and escalated the following year. She receives behavioral health and speech language therapy services weekly at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh.

“When Luci came to live with me she was malnourished and unloved, and her feet had never touched the floor,” says Keni. “She was behind developmentally in every area. We have been working together since then with help from The Children’s Institute on meeting milestones. I really admire Luci’s spirit and determination, and especially her resilience.”

Through evidence-based and trauma-informed talk therapy, Luci is learning new coping skills and emotion regulation strategies to strengthen her self-esteem and social skills. Speech language therapy gives Luci the tools to better understand language and how to communicate with the world around her. At home, Keni reinforces lessons learned and organizes their life together with familiar routines.

Keni and Luci are closely bonded, and Luci is learning how to express her wants and needs in healthy ways. When she is frustrated, she can regulate her emotions and remember to use her words: “Can you help me?” The colored behavior chart at school, which showed mostly red dots (difficult days) in the early months of the school year, now displays long lines of green dots (good days).

“The Children’s Institute has been there for us during our best and worst times,” Keni explains. “Luci’s therapists are patient, gentle, and compassionate, and they are so skilled at bringing out the best in her. I see the steady growth and progress in Luci, and I trust The Children’s Institute will continue to help her thrive.”

Behavioral health services at The Children’s Institute help children and families develop skills to manage mood, thinking, and behaviors. By moving toward resiliency and healing, children become happier and healthier at home, school, and in the community. For more information, visit AmazingKids.org/Behavioral-Health

Harrison Burgess’ Path of Progress

FORWARD

“I was diagnosed with spina bifida at birth, but I don’t let it define who I am or what I do,” Harrison explains. “Over many years, The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh has provided me the opportunity to become a very mobile individual who lives life to the best of my ability.”

Spina bifida is a congenital disorder that involves the incomplete development of the spine. It causes weak muscles in the legs and back which directly impact mobility. Harrison started receiving physical therapy services from The Children’s Institute at the age of three, first in Greentree, and then in Bridgeville. Harrison’s therapists have used individualized techniques and interventions to improve his mobility throughout his lifetime, including aquatic therapy at the Squirrel Hill location.

“I have faced a number of challenges as I have grown over the years, including surgeries,” Harrison explains. “My physical therapists helped me at different times to adapt to leg braces, crutches, a walker, and a wheelchair. They empowered me to take care of my body and held me accountable to home exercise programs that keep me healthy and strong.

“The therapists at The Children’s Institute also taught me how to use my voice,” he continues. “They really listened to what was important to me and taught me how to be an advocate for my care and well-being.”

Today, Harrison is using his voice in a variety of ways. As a psychology major, he loves connecting with and encouraging people. An articulate and talented performer since childhood, he has a passion for music, theater, and acting. Harrison serves as a worship leader at both his home church and on campus, and he also plays competitive sled hockey for the Pittsburgh Mighty Penguins.

“From the time I was a toddler, my therapists always provided very personalized treatment that was designed to help me succeed,” Harrison reflects. “We formed a strong bond of trust that has lasted from the time when I was receiving treatment multiple times each week to now, when I’m responsible for keeping up with my home exercise program in between occasional appointments.”

Harrison’s forward progress continues to propel him toward success, both today and into the future.

Personalized and family-centered physical therapy services at The Children’s Institute treat physical injuries, orthopedic conditions, and medical complexities. Learn more at AmazingKids.org/Physical-Health.

“I was diagnosed with spina bifida at birth, but I don’t let it define who I am or what I do.”

Harrison Burgess never takes his mobility for granted. A 21-year-old senior at the University of Pittsburgh, he is actively engaged in school, on campus, and at home in the South Hills. He also lives with a disability.

A new start for the Piccar family

the difference,” explains Mysti Piccar. “The team at The Children’s Institute taught me how to trust people, and when I allowed them into my life, they changed my family forever.”

Mysti was introduced to Family Support Services at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh in June 2020. The court-ordered involvement resulted from a series of life challenges and unhealthy decisions that threatened Mysti’s ability to retain custody of her younger children. Her two eldest sons, born when she was a teenager, and her younger daughter were already living with family members. She was also grieving the loss of her older daughter, Kaiyalyn, who had tragically passed away due to asthma complications. Mysti and her partner, Mitchell, were raising their 11-month-old, Caironell, when Kaysen was born on June 5, 2020, with prescribed substances in his system.

“I made the decision more than once to get clean, but it was so hard to do on my own,” says Mysti. “I did everything right for a few years and then it all fell apart. Signing over guardianship of my oldest son to my mother, losing Kaiyalyn when she was living out of state with her dad, being disqualified from the methadone clinic, and spending 30 days in jail – those things just crushed me.”

“I wasn’t happy at first when the people at The Children’s Institute were forced into my life, but they really care about me and my kids. They go all the way to help children and families, and they helped me get the life I always dreamed of having.”

Mysti received many resources through The Children’s Institute, including parenting support and training, housing and home maintenance services, assistance with making and keeping medical appointments, and connections to community resources that provided clothing, toys, and furniture for the children. The Children’s Institute facilitated drug and alcohol testing and evaluation, as well as mental health evaluations and treatment, and individual and couples counseling. They also connected Mysti and Mitchell to employment opportunities and transportation services.

Mysti has now been living drug-free for two years, and she and Mitchell are raising Kaysen, Caironell, and older sister Kayliahna together. She is also building connections with her teenage sons and learning healthy ways to manage the guilt she feels for not being able to raise them. Her anxiety is well controlled, she has more patience and confidence, and she is very deliberate in growing healthy relationships.

“I love my life every day,” Mysti says. “I never want to go back to where I was before. I am so grateful to be a better person, and I love being a good mom. My kids are safe and happy. Our family means everything to me.”

Evidence-based, trauma-informed Family Support Services at The Children’s Institute support safe, nurturing, and lasting families. Children stay safe and grow strong through preservation and reunification services that are individualized to each family’s specific needs and goals.

Early intervention directed his path

Ambrose Bennett, age three, loves being a brother. He laughs and fights, wrestles and plays games, and speaks a sweet secret sibling language with his big sister Elodie, age six. And he is already taking on the role of teacher and protective older brother to one-year-old Leo. Ambrose’s strong connection to each member of his family is a dynamic for which his mother is very grateful.

“There was a time when I was uncertain of what the future held for Ambrose,” Elizabeth Bennett explains. “As a psychologist, I recognized Ambrose was unable to effectively communicate his feelings and lacked the mobility to interact with his peers. As a parent, connecting Ambrose with early intervention services transformed him and how I look to his future.”

Ambrose received services from The Early Learning Institute (teli) at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh from early December 2021 until late summer 2022. Diagnosed with hypotonia (low muscle tone), at 15 months old he was unable to roll and wasn’t interested in crawling, standing, or walking. In addition to mobility issues, Ambrose had speech delays, was a very picky eater, and struggled with both explosive tantrums and periods of withdrawal and isolation.

His physical therapist began providing services weekly with a focus on motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, and most importantly, building trust. Because Ambrose often received therapy while at daycare, Elizabeth and her husband, Rob, received detailed notes and texts, informative phone calls, and tips after each session for how to continue making progress at home.

“Cierra Maloney from teli was phenomenal at engaging our family throughout his therapy,” Elizabeth remembers. “And she was so patient and careful to build a relationship with him. By earning his trust, Ambrose became more willing to work with her, and a second therapy session was added each week. At that point, he experienced an explosion of progress in both his speech and mobility, while negative behaviors dramatically decreased.

“Ambrose loves running and climbing and talking now, and he is even mastering stages of development early instead of late,” says Elizabeth. “He is a very different child than he was just one year ago. Ambrose is an ambassador for early intervention and The Children’s Institute because his metamorphosis has been so amazing and I’m intentional about describing how impactful therapy can be at such a young age.”

The Children’s Institute provides early intervention services at no cost to families through its affiliate teli. Physical, occupational, and speech, along with developmental instruction, are available for children from birth to age three with developmental delays.

Two Brothers

Individualized Care Helps Zach and Bradley Thrive

“Our sons are living into their potential with as much independence as possible because of The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh,” explains Kim Bischoff. “With great care, creativity, and honesty over many years, their therapists have pushed Zach and Bradley to learn and grow.”

Zach and Bradley are surviving triplets, micro-preemies born at 24 weeks who spent 101 days in neo-natal intensive care. Brother Ben passed at one day old. Now 19, they were referred at age three from early intervention to The Children’s Institute for physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

“Communication has always been a priority,” says Kim. “Zach quickly started talking and met his speech therapy goals. Bradley is non-verbal and continues to make strides in communicating his needs and wants through his iPad.”

Bradley attends The Day School at The Children’s Institute. His therapists have taught him how to navigate technology and use his augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device to interact with others. He is very social, loves to play jokes on his teachers, and works in The Day School Store. He helps with a variety of tasks at school, from mail delivery and paper shredding to collecting library books.

Integrated therapy services at The Day School have enhanced Bradley’s mobility, including transitions in and out of his wheelchair. He enjoys GymBop®, a music and adapted physical education program combined with therapy services, and likes to spend time upright in the standing wheelchair. Outpatient physical therapy has also provided significant mobility support to Zach, who walks unassisted with foot orthotics. He has learned how to strengthen his core and lower body muscles, which he now maintains through a home exercise program.

Zach, who loves computers and the field of information technology, will receive his diploma from Baldwin High School. He was selected as a fall 2023 UPMC Project SEARCH trainee. This year-long high school transition program prepares students with disabilities for competitive employment through departmental rotations at UPMC Mercy.

“I’m excited to see what the future holds for our sons,” Kim concludes. “Zach will one day live on his own, have a rewarding career, and be a lifelong advocate for his brother. Bradley will have a life with meaning – now with his father, Doug, and me, and then someday in assisted living or a group home, because he is learning to communicate with others.

Our family’s journey with The Children’s Institute has been amazing,” she continues. “Long-time team members have been helping our boys for almost 17 years, and we have met other parents and children in waiting rooms that we remain connected with to this day. We are like one big family.”

The Children’s Institute provides integrated physical and educational support services that help each child live to their potential. For more information, visit AmazingKids.org/Special-Education-Services

AMAZING YEARS

Our team members are always a top priority.

For team members at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh, work is a calling. Dedicated, caring, and knowledgeable, our team is passionate about transforming lives.

“Our responsibility as an organization is to continually support a motivating and engaging environment for the best people to do the best work,” says Lauren Wright, Ed.D., chief people officer for The Children’s Institute. “The quality of our team impacts everything we accomplish as an organization, so our team members are always a top priority.”

This priority status is evident in Vision 2026, The Children’s Institute’s new strategic plan, which focuses on strengthening five pillars that make us unique. Team is the first pillar. Our team is where our mission and the excellence of our programs and services are anchored.

Today, the team at The Children’s Institute is nearly 400 strong. Therapists and other direct care providers, teachers and paraprofessionals, family services professionals, and support staff lend their specific skills and expertise to meet our mission – To Heal. To Teach. To Empower. To Amaze. Each team member’s individual efforts, delivered in a collaborative environment, contribute to the future of The Children’s Institute.

“The 120-year legacy of The Children’s Institute is a success story because the team has always delivered on our mission with the highest quality care,” describes Linda Allen, M.A., B.S., vice president of human resources for The Children’s Institute. “We deliver a comprehensive and diverse package of benefits and resources to meet employee needs across the lifespan in response to their commitment to impacting the lives of kids and families every day.”

“When you put your people first, the product follows,” Dr. Wright continues. “Our team members spend a lot of energy to change lives, so they need a workplace where they can thrive. We listen to our employees and incorporate their feedback in building a work culture that acknowledges and values them.”

Kids and families reach their fullest potential at The Children’s Institute because team members have the tools they need to flourish.

When you put people first, the product follows.

As preschoolers in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Group Therapy at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh play together, they learn helpful tools to interact with others.

“Our new Group Therapy services are the next step in building on skills developed during individual therapy sessions,” explains Allyson Paracat Dixon, M.Ed., BCBA, regional director of autism services at The Children’s Institute. “ABA Group Therapy provides children with autism and related disorders a safe space to practice valuable communication and social skills with close support from our expert team.”

ABA is the science of behavior and learning that focuses on decreasing problematic behaviors while building skills needed to engage in one’s environment. The Children’s Institute offers individualized ABA services in Squirrel Hill for kids ages 18 months to 21 years old that also incorporate training for parents. Additional therapies, such as physical, occupational, speech, or behavioral health, as well as nutrition/feeding programs, are added as needed. The goal of ABA Group Therapy is to generalize skills learned in individual therapy to home, school, in other life activities, and with different types of people.

Group Therapy for preschoolers is expanding to four afternoons each week, while programs for early

and late elementary students are now being offered twice weekly from 4-6 p.m. Curriculum has also been developed as plans to offer Group Therapy for middle schoolers move forward. While a core focus for preschoolers includes language development–through sounds, signs, and/or technology – emphasis for older children is placed on social skills, from sharing, cooperating, and tolerating to finding ways to connect with others.

“ABA is a high-intensity service, and The Children’s Institute sets a high standard for staff education, training, and competency,” Allyson describes. “Individual sessions are always one therapist to one child, or even two therapists per child when additional services are needed. Group Therapy is structured for small groups of eight children or fewer, with a therapist-to-child ratio of 1:2 or 1:3.”

The Children’s Institute receives hundreds of referrals annually for ABA services and conducts a rigorous screening process to ensure the specific needs of each registered child and family can be effectively met by services the program provides. A new gross motor room has been added for younger children to integrate behavioral and physical health, and ageappropriate small-group environments for older students are now being considered to accommodate the growing ABA Group Therapy program.
