One Kids Place and community partners continue to demonstrate a passion for their work and true leadership maximizing the potential of each and every child and youth within the context of their family and community. We are very proud to provide you with some examples of how our OKP families, staff/Board and community partners have demonstrated true leadership in the following spheres of our collective work:

INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Using technology to extend services to rural areas: • The North East Infant Hearing Program includes some remote areas of our province. Speech Language Pathologists at One Kids Place have been providing intervention for families in Attawapiskat using the Ontario Telemedicine Network. The families attend sessions at their local hospital and the therapists are able to coach and provide intervention via videoconference. This also provides opportunities to link with other specialized services in state of the art facilities such as CHEO. • “The More Than Words Hanen Program” helped parents promote communication and social skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This was a 12 week course for parents who participated from 2 distinct locations (North Bay and Kirkland Lake) through the Ontario Telemedicine Network that involved group teaching and individual videotaped sessions. The parents were connected through video conference and engaged in shared learning with the support and teaching of a Speech Language Pathologist at each site. This is leading edge work that has significant applications for extending a number of clinical services through technology.

“More Than Words has been a great program. My daughter was a baby (although she was almost 2 ½ when we started the program) with no more than 5 words when we started the program. She is now a preschooler with easily 50 plus words! I definitely attribute her successes and progress to the skill set that More Than Words has given me to take home to her. And although I am very grateful for the speech improvement, the peer support and the workers that walked us through all this since starting the program, More Than Words has given me a much greater gift. It has taken away my overwhelming sense of helplessness that I have carried since I received my daughter’s diagnosis. Now I see that I can help her and I can make her life better. She is a different little girl and I truly feel that that is largely due to the More Than Words program.” Kendra Lacarte, More Than Words Winter/Spring 2014

Partnering with Education to increase student success: • OKP and the Near North District School Board are focussing their resources to develop a Transition to School Program – the first of its kind - to occur at OKP beginning May 2014. This program brings together a teacher and rehabilitation therapists to work with a small group of children in a ‘classroom like’ environment at OKP to assist children with special needs to develop strategies and new skills to help them be successful in an elementary school setting.

KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE

Participating in research to extend best practice: • Our Pre-School Speech and Language (PSL) programs have implemented the Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS) tool as part of the provincial Outcome Measurement Strategy, along with other PSL programs across the province. This is a standardized tool used by parents to measure their child’s communication skills. The PSL programs have also been introduced to the Motor Speech Service Delivery Pathway as recommended by the Motor Speech Research Study. This allows our therapists to use up to date research and implement best practice in assessment and treatment of young children to help ensure each child is reaching their full potential. • The Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) team was pleased to be one of the presenters at the Ontario Association of Children’s Rehabilitation Services (OACRS) conference in November 2013 on the topic of “iPads and AAC: How do I choose the right app?” Their presentation included a framework to determine communicative independence levels in children with complex communication needs and matching the AAC apps to the child’s communication level.

“I love working at One Kids Place; the heart and the brain are connected in this place” Alicia Garcia, Speech and Language Pathologist CAPACITY BUILDING WITHIN FAMILIES AND THE SYSTEM

Building capacity in the child care sector through education and learning:

• The Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist in Muskoka Parry Sound developed 2 curricula for fine motor development and gross motor development. These were successfully delivered throughout these Districts thus extending our program reach this past year to deliver the curricula in early childhood settings in the District of Nipissing. • Early Literacy Project completed in the District of Parry Sound in partnership with the Best start Network. OKP took the lead on accessing the funding from the pre-school speech and Language program at MCYS directed at training local SLP’s and ECE’s in the Hanen ABC & Beyond workshop designed to each others about early literacy opportunities for children in early learning settings. This train the trainer workshop resulted in building the capacity through local workshops to the ECE’s working in daycare, Early Years and FDK settings. Training included 3 training workshops including one with the ECE’s working with the aboriginal population.

Working with First Nations communities to build capacity in our families:

The ABC & Beyond Early Literacy workshop was offered by OKP in partnership with the Best Start initiative to aboriginal communities in Parry Sound. In February 2013 the first course was completed focusing on ‘Turning Book Sharing into a Conversation’ and ‘Making New Words Speak’ . Participants included Early Educators from and from Moose Deer Point. We look forward to a follow-up session in the fall 2014. One Kids Place continues to touch the lives of over 10,000 children and youth – this is only made possible through the passion, commitment and true leadership that is demonstrated each and every day. For that we are forever grateful! Respectfully submitted,

Bill Riley, Board Chair Judy Sharpe, Executive Director
