Achieve ment Centers for Children DEAR FRIENDS, What does the word “achievement” mean to you? We are fortunate to witness outcomes that demonstrate different meanings of this word every day. We see children’s smiles filled with pride when after tremendous efforts, perseverance and sheer hard work, they make progress toward their unique goals. And we see the joy their families express when their child surpasses their expectations. Here are just a few examples of the array of We ca n’ t achievements that are celebrated at the Achievement Centers:

N Sarah, who has cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair, learned to stand and walk control the with a walker at the age of 12 through our Intensive Therapy Clinic. Imagine the independence, freedom and confidence this achievement gave her. Imagine her direction of parents’ optimism for Sarah’s future care needs. the wind, but N Briana and Addie, eight and nine years old, are so proud that they learned to swim in our Adapted Aquatics program. Briana was born without legs and Addie has we can help brittle bone disease. They are now best buddies. N Mattie is three years old and has Down syndrome. Her parents have benefited you adjust from counseling and information from our Family Support team since Mattie was born. They were able to work through their initial pain and fears to find hope, while the sails. learning concrete tools to help Mattie achieve many developmental milestones in those first critical years of development. Early intervention is so important. N Julie and Mark were able to sleep through the night for the first time in nine years, when their son, who was born with a severe disability, spent a week in our residential camping program at Camp Cheerful, where he enjoyed swimming, horseback riding, camp fires, and many more fun activities adapted to his special needs, alongside other kids his age.

These achievements, and so many others, were made possible due to many people. First and foremost the children and families who work tirelessly to achieve their goals; to the many therapists, social workers, teachers, and staff who have committed themselves to helping improve the lives of children with disabilities; and to all of you who have given so generously of your time and resources for the benefit of others. The obstacles the children and families face often occur on a daily basis, as well as a “forever” basis. Therefore, the Achievement Centers for children must be here for families on a daily and forever basis. Your support and caring help make that possible. So, we celebrate with all of you and thank you for being part of so many achievements. May we always remember . . .

At that time she was barely able to walk two steps with her weak, shaky legs. Now five years old, she proudly prances across a balance beam and jumps off blocks. Bella has received speech therapy and physical therapy at the Achievement Centers, and her mother related that, “her growth in both areas has been nothing short of spectacular.” Her speech therapist helped her communicate her needs and feelings, giving her confidence and allowing her personality to blossom. Her physical therapist, Trish, Mrs. Novario says, “is able to get her to work through her stubbornness and past her fears to achieve amazing progress. Being able to climb the ladder to the slide and play with the fun riding toys with her friends enhances her social skills and makes her part of the group.” She also has a family who will be there for her through it all. “Bella teaches us more than we could ever teach her. We’re just along for the ride and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.”

During 2 010–2011, there were 2,376 sessions given in physical therapy, 4 ,1 65 sessions given in speech therapy, and 1,015 sessions given in occupational Bella and her sister Gina therapy. A total of 321 individual clients were served in all therapy programs, with 55% under the age of six.

After many years of dedication to her career and a hiatus in her riding, she looked forward to her retirement possibilities. She returned to her childhood love of horses, and found an even greater love in teaching children and adults at the Therapeutic Riding program at the Achievement Centers’ Camp Cheerful. When Claire joined the Therapeutic Riding program as a volunteer in 2004, she could feel the en - ergy and the passion in the staff that encour - aged her to achieve her certification as an instructor. She now instructs classes and trains other volunteers. Claire has seen the benefits firsthand of therapeutic horseback riding for children with disabilities, such as building core strength and balance in the riders, which may be used to compliment other therapy treatments. For children with autism, there is a special sensory trail to experience new sights and sounds. “I’ve actually cried as we’ve lifted children and ventilators on top of horses and to see the look and smiles on those kids’ faces. Oh my gosh—it’s amazing.” Last year, there were 3,913 Therapeutic Achievement Centers for Children’s Camp Cheerful Horseback riding lessons given thanks to the is certified as a Premier Accredited Center Program dedication of over 400 volunteers and instruc - by The Professional Association of Therapeutic tors who provided over 10,000 hours last year.

Their special connection is through their son, Jack, who attended school in our autism class - room. They understand the continuous emotional and financial challenges facing families as they try to find the best opportunities to develop the unique abilities of their children. Each year, the Milanich family receives support from their friends, family and colleagues for their race team “Team Jack” for “A Most Excellent Race” to benefit Camp Cheerful. They feel fortunate and are touched by the personal encouragement they receive from their employers and co-workers at Case Western Reserve University and the Tim and Megan Milanich Brokaw advertising agency.
