In this annual report, therefore, we have focused on this year’s senior class as they celebrate an 1887 1889 1893 1894 1904 1912 1922 1926 1948 1960 1972 1973 1974 1980 1986 1988 1990 2005 2008 important milestone with us – graduation.

Just as you likely do, we at Cotting School get nostalgic around milestone birthdays. As we commemorate our 115th year, we are taking time to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going. We have so much to feel proud of, and yet, so much more to do! In the last year, we paid homage to our rich past by compiling Cotting School: A Pictorial History. The Cotting archives and stories gathered from long-time friends and leaders provided ample material for our tribute, while the book launch presented the opportunity to bring old friends together once again. The book has also offered the occasion to introduce new friends to the school. Book talks, a news story for NPR’s Morning Edition and a story on Channel 5’s Chronicle allowed us to acquaint new audiences with our amazing staff and students. We continue to demonstrate the strengths of our faculty and students beyond our campus. All of our Middle and Upper School classes spend time in the community each week using their skills in real- life situations. Furthermore, 42 of our oldest students have jobs in community businesses through our Project Bridges program. These community inclusion experiences reinforce to our students and those

Additionally, we have expanded our outreach and consulting services through the Pace Assistive Technology Assessment Center. Led by a full- time Coordinator, the multi-disciplinary team now works with six area school districts to help them meet the needs of their students with disabilities. An important part of our reflective process in 2008-2009 is a self-study we are conducting as a candidate for accreditation through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It has been thrilling to see our entire staff come together to honestly evaluate our program and devise new and better ways to serve our students. We eagerly await our visiting committee’s assessment next fall. Looking back over last year and the last 115, Cotting School has clearly had generous friends who have ensured that our students have the resources they need to reach their highest learning potential and greatest independence. For the many gifts we have received over the years ranging from vans to transport our students into the community to the technology Drs. Augustus Thorndike supports they use to exchange ideas and expand their world, we thank our many friends and donors. As you explore these pages, we hope our students energize you for the challenges (top) and Edward Bradford ahead.

“Our expectation and hope for Emily was that Cotting would give her the friendships she had seen her siblings have,” Paul Cogliano remarks. “And the social piece here has been extraordinary. Her academic education has continued to be topnotch.” His wife, Ro, adds, “Another thing we have been amazed at is how quickly and uniquely we are responded to. Prior to Cotting, it was a “we-us” dynamic, but now we are on the same team. Teachers listen to us, and we problem solve together.” Emily’s teacher, Mike Teuber, notes that she “attacks her work. Whether beginning a new math skill or practicing her reading, she gets right to work, and we see her confidence building daily.” 4

“My daughter, Gabriella, has always been outgoing,” Phyllis Foley remarks. “But Cotting has opened doors for her academically and socially that were closed before. At Cotting there are students of all types, so she sees students both like her and unlike her.” Cotting has been a place that has encouraged Gabriella’s growth, she notes. Cheerleading and skiing are two important extracurricular activities for her, and she has thrived from her involvement in them. School spirit is high on her list of priorities. Gabriella’s communication has come a long way in her time at Cotting, and she has become more mature in many ways, her mother reports. During Gabriella’s first years at Cotting, she carried a checklist of expectations with appropriate 6 responses and actions for her to initiate. She was able to earn an incentive, such as extra computer time, each time

Gabriella’s current teacher, Megan McGoldrick, has high praise for her. “On community trips Gabriella is scanning aisles on her own for the items she needs. Her skills with money have increased so that she can now round to the next dollar up and make purchases more independently.” “Work is so motivating for Gabriella,” says Ms. McGoldrick. “She is such a great young lady. She is stepping up with maturity and working toward being as independent as she can be. Gabriella knows she is making a difference.” 7 McGoldrick continues, “She was so excited to vote for the first time in this recent election. We went over the whole process here at school, and then she went home and voted. She knew exactly what to do. When she was finished, everyone at the voting facility gave her a standing ovation.”

“Rich relationships with friends and the supportive adults at Cotting have been some of the best factors for Lucy in coming here. The small class size was such a different shift of mode for her when she arrived; it has enabled her ability to take more initiative and work independently,” Suzanne Morse-Fortier says as she reflects on her daughter’s six years at Cotting. She continues, “There is such a wealth of opportunity that I feel satisfied and fortunate that Lucy has had six years here.” Prior to attending Cotting, Lucy “had no social life outside school,” Suzanne recounts. “When she first arrived, another student took her under her wing and helped her feel at home, and for the first time in a long time, Lucy made friends.” Her 8 current teacher, Mike Teuber, reports she “works hard to combine social skills and academics through cooperative

“Cotting School was a godsend for us,” Eileen Lee says as she relaxes into her chair holding a photo album documenting Mike’s life. “There have been complex issues in Mike’s learning, but he has been valued and enjoyed at Cotting for his personality, not just his academics. All his strengths have been highlighted here.” Despite Mike’s several absences for medical reasons over the last seven years, “there was not much disconnect,” she recalls, because “Cotting doesn’t blink an eye at medical milestones. Cotting embraces the entire child- the good days and the bad days- and I always get a reply when I send an email or make a phone call.”

“When Sarah graduates this June, she will have spent thirteen years at Cotting. She arrived unable to read and with few social skills; math was an abstract concept to her,” her mother Meg Comeau relates. “She is now doing things no one would have predicted and things we were told she would never do.” When their school system suggested her family look at Cotting, Meg remembers realizing that she had to alter her thinking. “The quality of the education here is amazing. When we toured the school, a basketball game was going on. What sold me was that everybody was out on the court. Here Sarah would not be an observer; she would be a participant. The intensity of the services, the expertise of the staff, and the quality of the education have all been superb,” she continues. A couple of times when Sarah needed 12 surgery, the medical staff here was able to handle her needs so that she was able to return to school sooner than she would have otherwise.

“It was an inspiring place to be; Bill Carmichael sold the place,” Ray Killian, Board Chairman Emeritus recalls. “As Cotting’s Superintendent, Bill was a charismatic leader who made many connections for the School. I was straight out of college. He invited me to teach biology and math and to coach basketball; Helen and I had just gotten married, and this job was the best thing to happen to me.” Ray laughs as he remembers how tight his budget was. “Bill gave me $5,000 and told me to build a science lab. Of course, I spent far more than that eventually, but we got it going.” At the time, Carmichael was expanding science because he felt the curriculum should keep pace with the times. Killian taught for six years, then left the school but stayed on as a member of the Advisory Board and then as a member of the Board of Trustees. He worked in investment banking before founding Investment Technology 14 Group, from which he retired two years ago.

The challenge ahead of us now is how to compete for shrinking dollars in a competitive economy, and I am confident that Dave has the leadership and team to make that happen.” 15

Music and dancing have always been an integral part of Lillian Towner Leary’s life. Every evening, her father would come home from work and grab Lillian, her sisters, or her mother, and start to dance around the kitchen. Music, singing, and a lighthearted attitude toward life are firmly entrenched in her, despite personal setbacks that might render others singing the blues. Lillian Leary recalls with great fondness her son David’s association with Cotting School. “In 1955, my son David contracted polio at age sixteen months. My husband Frank, was a disabled World War II veteran and in and out of the hospital, I had two older daughters, and I had to work. David attended the public school for first grade, but the second grade teacher did not want to take responsibility for him.” She recalls feeling desperate. Luckily, “Dr. Trott of Children’s Hospital made an appointment for us with Dr. William Carmichael at 241 St. Botolph Street in Boston. Along with academics, David was soon taking 16 music, industrial arts, and gym classes.” “I always did David’s therapy with him, but I could never get him to go up and down stairs. The children of Cotting School taught him in about a month! Cotting taught him so many things that helped him later in life. It gave his dad and me peace of mind that we didn’t have before David attended Cotting School.

He worked pumping gas to save money for a secondhand car, which he used to commute to his first job at a bank in Brookline. After that, he worked at Stone & Webster Engineering, and then with Floor Daniel, an international company. During his time with Floor Daniel, David helped build power plants in Michigan, Florida, and New Hampshire. As a Contract Administrator, he then built buildings all over the Midwest and West, finally landing in Dallas, which he loved, and where he died of cancer at age 43 in 1997.

“Cotting School taught him everything he needed to learn to be on his own.” She adds Thanks to a bequest from that David always credited Cotting School, as did she and Frank, for his ability to live the estate of Isabella Stuart independently. Having that burden lifted from their shoulders gave her a lot to sing about. Gardner, an addition to the Lillian has planned to leave a bequest from David to Cotting School upon her passing. With school more than doubles its characteristic selfless modesty, she says, “Cotting saved my life. No one else would take him.

The Lasting Influence of Three Leaders

Cotting School has been blessed with the leadership of three men who have made a profound difference in the longevity and vibrancy of the School: former Superintendents Dr. William Carmichael and Dr. Carl Mores, and the late alumnus and trustee, Dr. John Chaves. Using his natural gifts and leadership, each man contributed significantly to advancing the education of children with special needs. Dr. William Carmichael led Cotting School from 1955 to 1984. He oversaw significant changes in curriculum and even a school name change; his dynamic leadership kept the School on the cutting edge. He listened to the faculty’s input on what changes were most needed, then implemented them as quickly as possible. One of his first priorities was to add science and to strengthen the math program. Carmichael also expanded the sports 18 programs, enlarged the game schedule, and inaugurated the independent living program. One of Carmichael’s most striking stories involves the initiation of computers into the education of children with special needs. He recalls, that “the MIT artificial intelligence lab brought over a device that enabled nine year-old

Michael Murphy, a child with cerebral palsy and extremely compromised verbal and written abilities, to communicate efficiently and independently. The television show,That’s Incredible! featured Michael, who said, ‘Computers have opened a whole new world for me.’” Michael later went to UMass Boston and studied in the computer field.

Dr. Carl Mores led Cotting School from 1984 to 2004. It was his leadership that led the Krebs School to merge into Cotting in 1986 and the subsequent move of the school from Boston The school’s name changed to Lexington. With his characteristically calm and professional manner, Dr. Mores oversaw to Industrial School for construction of the new facility, staying on time and on budget, while running the school on a Crippled Children. day-to-day basis. Typically modest, he now looks back and gives all the credit to Board Chair, William O. Taylor. Mores recalls that “Bill had the vision to see the need for new facilities and strongly supported the move to Lexington. He had seen this need for some time and had spoken 19 of it much earlier to the Board. He had ‘seen the handwriting on the wall’ and thoroughly understood the need for a change in location for a number of important reasons of vital concern for the future of the school. It was a brilliant move on Bill’s part.” In the move, Cotting assumed a small Krebs School debt in the range of $200,000.00 for certain Krebs

School obligations, a very modest sum. When one considers what the 14-acre property was worth then, and more dramatically is worth now, that was truly an incredible transaction. The job of running Cotting agreed with both men. Carmichael remembers how “You don’t feel put upon to stay late at night; you get more out of working for the students than they get from working with you.” Dr. Mores adds, “You don’t just go to work; you become part of it. No matter which constituency the people you work with represent, you are part of something extraordinarily worthwhile. To the extent that you can get others to buy into that, you will do more than you can do yourself. There is nothing quite like this school.”

John Chaves, In Memoriam Information taken from an interview conducted by David Manzo in December 2007. Dr. Chaves was deceased on February 2, 2008. Born in Boston at the Lying-In Hospital in 1941, John Chaves received a diagnosis of cerebral palsy, later 20 changed to spastic paraplegia. A staunch advocate for her son, his mother constantly challenged doctors’ limited expectations for her son, and placed him at Cotting School as a first grader. He was fortunate enough to experience some of Cotting’s best teachers firsthand. Over his life Dr. Chaves worked in the field of psychology and, more specifically, pycho-social attitudes toward pain and pain management. He taught at Southern Illinois University and SUNY Stony Brook; he published two

I am delighted that over the last few years, I have had an opportunity to give back as a trustee,” Dr. Chaves recollected. As needs increase and Dr. Chaves’ words for Cotting students today are to “benefit from the diversity of disability here, because one person has challenges not faced by others. This makes you search for the transportation allows, the unique talents and skills you do have. Discover the passion you have and see what skills school expands its services you bring to it. You have advantages from the specifics of your disability, and from the to children from 36 cities communication skills you have to develop as a result of your disability. There is a true plus to and towns. working hard and putting in extra time and effort. At Cotting School, people focus on abilities rather than on disabilities.” He encouraged, “I have left a trail of surprised people behind me, and I know others have as well. You have open doors ahead of you. If I can do it, you can do it. Let your passion be your guide. Don’t get discouraged too easily. Realize many before you have succeeded and you can walk in their footsteps.” Typical of his generosity and desire to give back, Dr. Chaves left a major bequest to Cotting 21 School toward the Fellows Initiative, a national initiative which will give graduates in the field of Special Education the opportunity of teaching here for two years.
