COTTING SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION

rawing from Jasper Johns’ 1930 work Numbers Din Color, the dynamic mural pictured on the cover and throughout this report was created with tiles shaped by students at Cotting School in 2007. Using clay tools, stamps, and paintbrushes, each child made a personal statement of his or her first initial in color and texture. Each square 1 represents one of the building blocks that comprise the rich mosaic of our community. While each tile represents an individual, together their initials blend together as a permanent installment, a reminder that each one of us is unique and that together we can accomplish amazing things. The wall is a testament to the strength and creativity of our students, and to the skill and vision of art teacher Rosanne Trolan.

Throughout this volume the tiles change, representing the different transitions that occur in our community each year and each day. We invite you to join us for a glimpse into this remarkable place, Cotting School. To the Cotting School Family

otting continually strives to improve its services to Cstudents with special needs, both within our program and in the greater community. This has been another year of exciting innovations. Our new Preschool Classroom space provides a warm, nurturing, and therapeutic environment conducive to maximizing learning and social/emotional growth in the critical early years of a child’s development. 2 A new Transition Classroom offers community-based instruction to eight of our oldest students, giving them further preparation for independence after Cotting. In addition, we have continued to evolve our pre-vocational program. The Work Skills Center, including the student- run snack bar, combines the expertise of our Pre-Vocational and Occupational Therapy Departments. Through staff teamwork, each upper school student participates in an in-house job, and 29 students work offsite weekly through Project Bridges. While we continue to make the services at HOPEhouse known to the community, the staff there has developed an after-school program aimed at our oldest students, using their outstanding skills. All these endeavors and the continued excellence of our educational program have helped us maintain a strong enrollment. In an effort to share our expertise and facilities with students who do not attend Cotting School, we have expanded our outreach and consulting capacity through the Pace Assistive Technology Assessment Center and developed a joint venture with the New England College of Optometry and the New England Eye Institute. With funding from The John W. Alden Trust, Cotting’s Seamark Vision Clinic has expanded to invite children with disabilities from underserved areas to obtain fully funded vision assessments and eyewear.

In 2008, we look forward to celebrating the School’s 115th anniversary with Arcadia Publishing’s Cotting School: A Pictorial History, which will arrive in bookstores in April. In September we plan to welcome our first Cotting Fellow, 3 a 2008 graduate in the field of , who will train with us for two years. This Fellowship has been made possible through the generosity of dedicated friends of the School. We have also received a challenge grant to fund a second Cotting Fellow position, which has galvanized us to move ahead with this exciting initiative.

Sincerely,

Anne Phillips Ogilby, Chairman, Board of Trustees

David W. Manzo, President/Executive Director TRANSITION TO COTTING

100% of Cotting students use assistive technology.

4 Each Cotting student makes use of some form of adaptive technology, whether it is an adaptive keyboard or mouse, a joystick and an onscreen keyboard, or a communication device. The Coordinator of The Dorothy Pace Assistive Technology Assessment Center schedules each student for an annual technology assessment with an in-house Occupational Therapist, a Technology Specialist, and a Communication Therapist to ensure that each child is using the best technology possible to optimize communication and learning.

“Cotting has a whole network of people who ‘get’ our daughter. It is amazing. We don’t have to worry any more.” spritely child with an indomitable spirit and delightful energy, new Astudent Phoebe eagerly rushes into school each morning, ready to join her classmates. “At Cotting she feels she is a valuable part of the community, and that helps shape her learning and confidence,” says her mother, Lisa Hammer; “she is so happy to be in school.” Phoebe’s father, Steve Sternbach, adds, “Cotting has a whole network of people who ‘get’ our daughter. It is amazing. We don’t have to worry any 5 more.”

“Phoebe has a constant drive to do things but cannot express that. Her schooling affects our entire family, as now all four children do their homework simultaneously. Phoebe loves to do her work, but she has to think about the questions. There is often silence, and there is a lot going on in that silence,” her mother reflects. “Her brothers and sister now see Phoebe as a student. They see her identity as a person, not just her disability. And knowing that she is in a place where so many people are attending to her needs is a huge gift for me.” Lisa repeats, “She’s just so happy.” TRANSITION THROUGH COTTING

100% of Cotting students have access to 6 a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

“Cotting School is beyond a perfect school for me. It’s my second family.” otting School is beyond a perfect school for me,” Matt says. C“It’s my second family.” One of his favorite people, his Aunt Mary, recalls “how happy Matt has been since he started attending Cotting. He has blossomed so much! I have visited several times, and I am always struck by how friendly everybody is, both students and staff.” She notes that Matt’s former apprehension about a new school year is gone “because it doesn’t matter if he has a new teacher; they are all great!” Sophisticated, 7 cordial and caring, Matt has developed a wide range of interests. An avid reader, he is learning chess and Italian to complement his extensive knowledge of art, classical music, and piano. He loves language and listens to the nightly news to catch words such as “ubiquitous,” which he then enjoys adding to his vocabulary.

His mother, Indra Guertler, is delighted with the Cotting faculty. “They see Matt for his strengths. He has learned to read and appreciate a range of music, to use a hammer and saw, and to appreciate different artists and genres. Teachers and staff members have opened new worlds for him. I cannot say enough about Cotting.” TRANSITION CLASSROOM

100% of upper school students have an in-house job.

8 Before Cotting students venture into the work force through our Project Bridges program, they have a series of in-house jobs. Using the knowledge they have acquired in Work Skills class, students treat each in-house situation as if it were a real job. At any one time, 29 upper school students also participate in Project Bridges by working at an off-site job for two hours twice a week.

“Cotting was a dream come true for my daughter… It opened worlds to which we never thought she’d have access.” otting was a dream come true for my daughter, CChrista,” Yolette Ibokette enthuses. “It opened worlds to which we never thought she’d have access. It’s not just programs; it’s people,” she emphasizes. “When we first arrived twelve years ago, my daughter had no friends and no extracurricular activities.” 9 As for now? Yolette credits Circle of Friends and cheerleading with “teaching Christa how to make friends and be a friend,” and Project Bridges with “teaching her how to work at places such as TJ Maxx.” Now Christa is a member of Cotting’s new Transition Classroom and is out in the community three days per week. Along with the changes have come different, age- appropriate priorities for Christa. Yolette laughs heartily, “Now in typical teenager ways, she asks, ‘What do I wear?’ and claims, ‘My cell phone needs a charger.’ We feel so blessed that she has attended Cotting. I just wish more families could be as fortunate as we have been. I hope Cotting School never changes.” TRANSITION BACK TO COTTING

71% of Cotting faculty and administrators hold advanced degrees. 10 100% of Cotting School faculty and staff pursue professional development annually.

“Philosophically, Cotting is different. My colleagues are here to develop students’ independence, not just to get through the day.” am thrilled to be back at Cotting, this time in a full-time Icapacity,” exults Melissa Mulvey, Communication Therapist. “Philosophically, Cotting is different. My colleagues are here to develop students’ independence, not just to get through the day. I find this approach highly satisfying.”

As an undergraduate and first-year graduate student in speech pathology, Melissa spent two summers here as a program assistant. 11 A nationally certified speech and language pathologist, she provides direct services to students in all areas of communication, teaching and modeling what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.

“What I like about Cotting is that students are aware of their goals, and they want to work on their skills to achieve these goals. They seek out homework. The students are motivated, and so are the staff,” she reports. “I appreciate that Cotting integrates therapy into the classroom situations.” For example, Melissa will help her students prepare questions for an upcoming trip into the community, and then, when they return, talk with them about it. “I can honestly ask, ‘how was it?’ since I did not go with them. We can then have a great conversation in which they converse among themselves rather than the teacher doing all the talking.”

With highly sought-after skills, Melissa was given the opportunity of running a small program herself elsewhere, but she prefers the Cotting approach where she is a member of a team. And her radiant smile and immediate involvement in all aspects of our program reveal just how delighted she is to be a part of the Cotting community again. TRANSITION BEYOND COTTING

100% of Cotting students participate in 12 enrichment classes including arts, music, and adaptive physical education.

“I give all the students the opportunity to be the captain and to pick the teams, which also increases their self confidence.” alute the captain!” The class of students all salute the “captain,” Sadaptive physical education teacher, Dan Cuddy, who then calls out, “All hands on deck!” They race to the circle in the center of the basketball court. “Boom coming over!” They duck down. “Three men in a boat!” One student veers for the side wall instead of lining up behind two others and joining in a rowing motion, and Dan calls out, “Walk the plank!” to send her to the bleachers. The game continues until the winner is left standing, 13 and he or she then becomes the captain for the next round.

Since 1988 Dan Cuddy has been coordinating Cotting’s participation in the Special Olympics, organizing a winter ski trip to Mount Sunapee, inventing games, and trying to make his classes therapeutic and fun. He comments, “When many of our students arrive, they have not played group sports, and their self-confidence is low. When they come to gym, I like to make it fun. The challenge is to adapt the rules to include the many different types of students we serve. I always make sure everyone is included. For instance, if a child in a wheelchair is playing shortstop, and the baseball hits him/her, that’s an out, usually followed by a big grin from the shortstop. I give all the students the opportunity to be the captain and to pick the teams, which also increases their self-confidence.” TRANSITION IN PROGRAMMING AT COTTING

“I give students options; I let them think about 14 what they are going to do, make decisions, and then we go through the directions one step at a time.” es, everyone will have a turn using the mixer Ybecause that’s the fun part,” 22-year veteran teacher Paulette Binder assures her lower school students. She urges the class forward, “Who can read the next step in the directions?” Each Cotting student enters her Vocational Workshop, which has transitioned this year to become an integrated part of the vocational program. 15 “I give students options; I let them think about what they are going to do, make decisions, and then we go through the directions one step at a time. In the fall, lower school students roast pumpkin seeds, while middle and upper school students make pumpkin soup. The recipes get more complicated as the students get older,” she states.

She makes students aware of what they are eating, for example, by “cutting open a microwave popcorn bag to reveal what is inside. They can see the large glob of congealed fat and make the connection between that and what would go into their bodies if they ate the popcorn.” She hosts a weekly breakfast called the Wake Up Call Breakfast Café, which involves upper school students setting tables, serving food, greeting guests, collecting money, and cleaning up afterwards. One plus? Students consume the fruits of their labor, which doesn’t happen in their other classes. TRANSITION BEYOND COTTING

82% of HOPEhouse graduates have moved on to more independent living situations. 16

HOPEhouse helped us understand the difference between what we wanted for our son—and what he was really capable of—and guided us in setting realistic goals. HOPEhouse was his “college.” When it was time to leave, we realized that our son really was ready for more independence. - Parents of a HOPEhouse graduate visited HOPEhouse for dinner and stayed for two weeks,” IColleen McCurdy jokes as she relates her initial visit here from her hometown in Ohio. “I liked the people right away. I felt I could get what I needed here. The people here are invested in me, and I get personal support all the time.”

Taking courses in pursuit of her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Education at Middlesex Community College in Bedford, Colleen 17 attends her classes there and does her school work at home in the HOPEhouse environment. “It is easier to work here than in the library at school,” she says, “and everyone here wants to help me manage it all.”

“My goal is to teach children Kindergarten age and age six;” she admits, as “I love young children.” TRANSITION THROUGH COTTING PARTNERS

Fully invested in supporting Cotting students, our affiliation with Children’s Hospital 18 began in 1893 when two of their orthopedic surgeons, Doctors Bradford and Thorndike, opened Cotting School. otting School students have greatly benefited from our strategic Cpartnerships with three centers of excellence: Boston Children’s Hospital, New England College of Optometry, and School of Dental Medicine.

Our affiliation with Boston Children’s Hospital began in 1893 when two of their orthopedic surgeons, Doctors Bradford and Thorndike, opened Cotting School. At that time Cotting was an experiment to respond to 19 the needs of children who had been injured in industrial accidents or had contracted polio or Pott’s disease. The School flourished in Boston and outgrew its location, moving to Lexington in 1988. Today, Laurie Glader, M.D. (pictured at left), of Children’s Hospital, serves as Cotting School’s Medical Director. She is assisted by Joel Shulkin, M.D., a fellow in the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics.

Since 1975, students and faculty from the New England College of Optometry have provided comprehensive eye exams, vision therapy for eye coordination and focusing problems, and eyewear to Cotting students. Nancy Carlson, O.D., is Cotting School’s attending optometrist and oversees the Seamark Vision Clinic on campus. Thanks in part to a grant awarded by The John R. Alden Trust, the Vision Clinic has expanded its outreach services to include children with special needs from underserved areas by providing free vision assessments and eyewear.

Tufts School of Dental Medicine partners with Cotting through a weekly clinic providing each of our students with dental care twice annually. Two rotating Tufts residents and Clinic Director Maria Kritsineli, D.M.D., reinforce proper home dental care and life-long dental hygiene. TRANSITION THROUGH STEWARDSHIP

Elise recounts how, “Initially I declined because I thought I was too busy with other non-profit commitments. My aunt insisted, and I changed my mind. I assisted Mrs. Lloyd in the first grade classroom. I have never regretted that choice. I learned far more from the children than they learned from me!” Over time, Mrs. Wallace has also served on various committees and on the Board, of which she is now an emerita member. 21 She notes, “Cotting is a place where kids can really thrive. I think it’s the incredible caring which the teachers, staff, nurses, and therapists show that makes Cotting different. This is truly a remarkable place!”

“Over the School’s 115 years, people have done so much by giving annual gifts and bequests, all of which have enabled Cotting to offer innovation and quality in a full range of services to students,” she adds. “Now it is our turn to provide for future generations. We have a wonderful opportunity to meet a donor’s vigorous challenge grant to establish the Cotting Fellowship. It’s both our commitment to training the next generation of educators and our way of providing the best to current Cotting students. There are so many different ways to give and they are all important.” Treasurer’s Report

Dear Friends,

As Treasurer of Cotting School, I am pleased to share my report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

The tremendous votes of confidence we received this year from our donors reaffirm what we believe: Cotting School is a national leader in the field of special education. 22 Feedback from parents indicates that our continued focus on the whole child greatly impacts our students’ abilities to succeed when they leave Cotting. Our volunteers’ gifts of time, funds, and expertise enable us to keep our full range of services strong and our classrooms well furnished.

Cotting’s tuition rate increased by a modest 3.3 percent this year. This figure is set by the Commonwealth of and paid by each student’s referring school district. However, this allotment covers only 70 percent of the cost of Cotting’s outstanding services. The other 30 percent comes, in part, from fundraising events, gifts to the Annual Fund, and bequests.

Thus out of the $1,105,858 Cotting received in gifts and pledges over the last fiscal year, approximately $462,836 was contributed through Annual Giving, and $643,022 to various Special Projects.

Through donations and pledges we are steadily moving toward our $2M goal of endowing the Cotting Fellowship, which will enable us to train the next generation of teachers in the field of special education. We are thrilled to be able to inaugurate the first of two fellowships in September 2008. Thanks to a generous donor, we have received Revenue, Gains and Support Tuition $7,035,886 a $250,000 challenge grant to raise an additional $750,000 for the Fellows Gifts, Contributions, Legacies, Grants, Program. Bequests and Net Assets Released from Restrictions $980,374 I am tremendously grateful to all who give in so many ways to Cotting Investment Return Designated for School. Your outstanding generosity helps to shape the School and, at the Current Operations $1,888,110 same time, signifies confidence in the education and services which Cotting Other Income $97,346 School provides. We could not do our job without your assistance. Total Revenue, Gains, and Support $10,001,716 23 Sincerely, Operating Expenses Program and Support Salaries and Services $6,079,286 Payroll Tax and Fringe Benefits Charles T. Haydock, Vice Chairman and Treasurer $2,686,986 Heat, Light, Insurance, Repairs and Maintenance $846,723 School Supplies and Office Expenses $481,059 Food $98,676 Total Operating Expenses $10,192,730 Net Deficit ($191,014) PARENT ORGANIZATIONS

Thanks to the many parents who contribute ideas, time, experience, and expertise to support our learning community, as well as to those who volunteer to participate in the Cotting Family Community, the Parent Advisory Council, and the Government Affairs Committee.
