#107279 TheARC AnnualReport.indd 6 12/12/16 10:50 AM The Impact of Programs and Services Magellan’s Success Magellan is a four-year-old child who has been receiving services through the Child Life Center’s therapeutic preschool program for the last two years. This preschool program is a partnership with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) to provide inclusive and therapeutic education services for children three to five years-of-age who have been identified by EVSC as having special needs.

Magellan was primarily nonverbal when he started the program. After two years of services, even though Magellan still has limited communication, he is now reacting when others communicate Katie, Nick, and Andrea Tieken with him. He understands and responds to his name being spoken. He imitates the actions of the other children in his class. From a Family Member’s Perspective Some of Magellan’s favorite things to do in class are playing in Katie is a board member with The Arc of Evansville, but the house on the playground, having snack time, and anything more importantly, the proud sister-in-law to Andrea Tieken, related to music. When he hears the song, “Going on a Lion her husband’s twin sister. Andrea is a team member at Arc Hunt”, Magellan sings along during some parts of the song and Industries where she exhibits a strong work ethic, positive shows his progress. attitude, and the ability to learn new tasks quickly. Andrea participates in many activities throughout the community as Magellan is achieving and increasing his ability to communicate, a result of the multiple programs she’s involved with through and these milestones are assisting teachers and therapists in The Arc of Evansville. Katie says, “Without the services of this truly knowing what Magellan is and is not able to understand. organization, Andrea would not be the person she is today.” This information will help his teachers and therapists continue Andrea participates in recreational activities, gives back to her to work on his communication skills. Magellan is achieving at community by volunteering, and also works to increase her The Arc of Evansville. skills so she can achieve her personal goals and make progress towards independence.

Katie believes it is the little things in life that many people take for granted that are the things Andrea enjoys the most, such as going out to eat at her favorite restaurant, getting to see friends and family, and buying ice cream cakes for every occasion. Katie is amazed as she watches how others interact with Andrea, including Katie’s own children. She says when people are around Andrea they learn a life lesson on how to treat individuals with disabilities. Katie encourages people to look around and take notice of the individuals with disabilities who are contributing in our community. She advises, “If you encounter someone with a disability, remember to do a few things. First, smile and acknowledge the person. Second, focus on their abilities, rather than any disability. Third, give adequate time for the individual to respond and speak their mind because everyone has ideas and talents to contribute. Lastly, and most importantly, treat the person like you would like to be treated.”

Magellan enjoying his class time Individuals with disabilities are being impacted by The Arc of Evansville, and in return, those same individuals are impacting others in our community.
