The future prosperity of our community depends on our ability to foster the health and well-being

of the next generation. The earlier we help children build the strong foundation they need for life,

the better off we will be as a community. This concept is one that has long been understood by

Southwest Human Development. It is why the agency was founded and why we focus our efforts on

serving Arizona’s youngest children.

Science, including the fields of social, molecular and neuroscience, tells us that the basic architecture

of the brain is built through a process that begins before birth and continues into adulthood. It tells

us that the brain is wired to be shaped by a child’s experiences and that all aspects of development –

intellectual, physical and emotional – matter equally and are interdependent.

A positive future for every child.

Southwest Human Development strives

to give all children the healthy foundation

they need for an optimal start in life.

For example, a child surrounded with loving, supportive relationships who experiences what scientists

refer to as tolerable levels of stress, such as the loss of a loved one, will likely do well developmentally.

On the other hand, the fears and anxieties faced by a child dealing with severe levels of stress – the

kind researchers refer to as “toxic stress” – will impact a child’s learning no matter their intellectual

capacity.

Reciprocal, back-and-forth interactions with parents and other caregivers are another way early

experiences impact the architecture of the developing brain. Children naturally reach out for interactions

through babbling and smiling. When adults are not in sync – due to depression, for example – a

child’s learning process is incomplete which has negative implications for later learning in the

child’s life.

Southwest Human Development takes this kind of scientific information, combined with 31 years of

experience, and uses it to build programs that make a difference. We know that effective early

childhood programs work. Estimated societal rates of return are as high as $16 for every $1 invested.

In this biennial report, we will share some of the successes this approach can bring as we work

toward building a positive future for Arizona’s youngest children at the state, community and

individual child level.

In our 2010-2012 Biennial Report we focus on the future, on our efforts to build a positive future for

children at the state, community and individual child levels.

Despite the struggling economy, with its subsequent funding and program cuts, Southwest Human

Development remains firmly committed to improving the community through one if its greatest assets —

our children.

The research supporting this approach continues to grow: Nobel Prize-winning economists, social

scientists and neuroscientists agree that investing in early childhood is sound economic policy that

pays great dividends.

In keeping with our core values, the services we’ve chosen to feature in this report fill a void in the

system of care upon which young children depend. They are unique and, in some cases, have received

national attention for their innovation, quality and ability to make a lasting difference.

You will also notice our new mission and vision statements on the opening page. The essence of our

mission has remained the same since the founding of Southwest Human Development 31 years ago.

We hope you find that the revised statement, combined with our new vision statement, expresses our

reason for existence and our values in a manner that is both succinct and compelling.

Finally, our affiliation with Easter Seals, along with efforts to increase philanthropic contributions from

individuals, corporations and private foundations, will help us sustain and grow many of our vital

programs for years to come. In fact, without the support of our community of donors, partners and

volunteers, none of our work would be possible. Please accept our sincere appreciation for helping us

build a better future for Arizona and its children.

contributing to the advancement of this growing field. Initial evaluation results show statistically significant

changes in key areas including:

• Improvement in teacher-child relationships

• Greater teacher confidence in handling conflicts

• Gains in teachers’ understanding of social-emotional development

• Improved teacher perceptions of children at risk for expulsion

Smart Support is changing the child care experience across Arizona, helping children establish the

foundation they need for success in life and building a positive future at the statewide level.

Funded by First Things First, Smart Support has served over 300 child care centers, 3,500 teachers, and

impacted thousands of children during fiscal year 2012.

Child Care Mental Health Consultation During the past two years, Smart Support,

Southwest Human Development’s mental health consultation program for child care centers, has been

building a national reputation for its success in improving the quality of care for young children.

Social-emotional development is an important building block in the brain architecture of young children.

Healthy social and emotional skills are part of the foundation needed for later success in life. Yet, all too

often, this facet of children’s development is neglected or even negatively impacted in a place where they

spend much of their time – child care.

Mental health consultation helps child care and preschool teachers, who often have little or no child

development education, understand social-emotional development and the behavior of children in their care.

Understanding behavior – rather than simply managing it – leads to important changes in how problems

like aggression and biting are handled. It leads to greater empathy and willingness to work with children

who are struggling and a better learning experience for all children in the classroom.

Southwest Human Development’s Smart Support program, one of the largest mental health consultation

programs in the country, has not only gained the attention of national leaders in two short years, it is

social isolation. Families learn how they can turn not only to organizations for assistance and support, but

also to friends and neighbors. And, by focusing on each family’s strengths – not just their needs – we help

them discover ways to give back to their community as full participants.

Southwest Human Development’s home visiting programs are effective because they work on many

levels: enhancing all facets of child development, not just cognitive; helping families build self-sufficiency,

not just offering short-term solutions; and creating overall healthier communities.

Each of the areas covered in Southwest Human Development’s home visiting programs greatly influence

a young child’s developing brain architecture and, in turn, the foundation they depend on for future

development.

In fiscal year 2012, Southwest Human Development provided home visiting services to more than 2,100

children as part of its effort to build a positive future for children at the community level.

Home Visiting A growing body of evidence is confirming what many have intuitively understood:

children need more than cognitive skills for socioeconomic success in this world. They also need social-

emotional skills, physical and mental health, perseverance, attention, motivation and self confidence.

Research also demonstrates that children growing up in disadvantaged environments quickly develop

large gaps in these areas compared to their more advantaged peers.

Early intervention through high-quality home visiting programs helps close this gap. Southwest Human

Development’s home visiting programs are holistic in nature, encompassing all aspects of child development,

including physical, social, emotional and cognitive. At the same time, they work with the family to solve

long-standing problems such as substance abuse or low-literacy levels, and develop long-term goals for

greater self-sufficiency.

In addition to vastly improving child and family outcomes, Southwest Human Development’s home

visiting programs help build healthy communities. The agency’s home visitors, who are intimately familiar

with the communities in which they work, support families in creating the networks they need to reduce

Children with Disabilities In 2012, Easter Seals Southwest Human Development’s ADAPT Shop

celebrated its first anniversary. This one-of-a-kind facility specializes in designing and building custom,

low-cost supports that help children with severe, mobility-limiting disabilities become independent and

active participants in their world. From custom-made seating to mobile scooters, the ADAPT Shop’s

products help children develop the competence, confidence and self-esteem they need for success.

The ADAPT Shop evolved out of 25 years of experience with children who have disabilities that limit their

mobility and hinder their development. We saw an unmet need for these children as they struggled with

the kinds of everyday activities most people take for granted such as sitting upright or feeding themselves.

In fact, for some of the children Easter Seals Southwest Human Development serves, the only position they

can be in without assistance is lying flat on their back.

At the ADAPT Shop, a physical therapist works with each family to design and build a variety of supports

that will work in the child’s home and community life. For example, with a customized chair made from

specialized foam, a child can sit up independently for the first time. Once a child is sitting upright, they

can communicate more easily, becoming part of reciprocal, back-and-forth social interactions with their

parents and other people who are important in their lives. These moments of contact and engagement

are crucial for the healthy development of language and social skills. The shop’s therapeutic chairs have

other benefits for children as well, like building muscle tone, which can lead to standing, walking,

feeding, and playing.

Children who benefit from the ADAPT Shop include those with cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy,

low muscle tone, Down syndrome, autism, seizure disorders and a variety of other genetic conditions.

Since opening in 2011 with generous funding from Humana Communities Benefit – Arizona and on-going

support from organizations like The Safeway Foundation, the Del E. Webb Foundation and the Tim and

Willy Kid’s FUN-Dation, the ADAPT Shop has served 115 children and created 350 custom supports. The

ADAPT Shop is currently open part time and is actively seeking additional funding to address a growing

waiting list for this effort to help build a positive future at the child level.

“�e ADAPT Shop has opened up our world to possibilities that we weren’t able to see before. I believe all of the strides our children have made over the last year are due to the ADAPT Shop’s support and their vision.” - Heather Joy Magdalano, Mother of two children served by the ADAPT Shop

From pregnancy through the baby’s second birthday, nurses make regular visits with families. By reaching

expectant mothers, nurses can help ensure they get regular prenatal care, make necessary lifestyle changes

and eat a balanced diet to dramatically increase the chances of having a healthy baby. After the baby’s

birth, nurses help parents understand child development, provide a nurturing environment and set and

reach educational and employment goals.

Nurse-Family Partnership research results are striking and include positive cost-benefit ratios due to

improved economic health in participating families, reduced crime and subsequent taxpayer savings.

With funding from First Things First, Nurse-Family Partnership served 200 mothers and their babies in

north and south Phoenix last year. Thanks to new funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program, Nurse-Family Partnership will be

able to serve an additional 75 mothers and their babies annually.

Kinship Care and Adoptions Across the U.S. the number of children being raised by grand-

parents and other relatives, known as kinship care, is increasing at an incredible rate. The economic recession,

combined with a concurrent rise in the number of abuse and neglect cases and large

government budget cuts, has greatly contributed to these numbers.

Southwest Human Development’s Kinship Care and Adoptions program, which has seen a

43 percent increase in the past two years, is making remarkable strides in ensuring that these children

have stable, loving and permanent homes.

The children often come to their new homes with a host of challenges, including behavior and academic

problems stemming from trauma they have experienced. At the same time, relatives, especially grandparents

on fixed incomes, assume added financial burdens as they unexpectedly face the costs associated with

raising one or more children.

Thanks to the support and services provided by Southwest Human Development, 98 percent of the

children in the program remain in their new homes. This extraordinarily low disruption rate is a rare

accomplishment and demonstrates the difference high-quality programming can make.

Last year Kinship Care and Adoptions served over 1,700 families in Maricopa County alone. Local organizations

have contributed to the success of this program by helping relatives who are struggling financially with

basic needs like clothing and school supplies. Thank you to the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust,

CVS/pharmacy and Deseret Industries for supporting this important program.

Children’s Developmental Center Parents and other caregivers of children with particularly

complex problems such as autism and feeding disorders face a fragmented health care system that often

leaves them visiting one professional after another, searching for answers and solutions on their own.

Thanks to the Children’s Developmental Center at Easter Seals Southwest Human Development, many of

these children are getting the care they need. The center’s transdisciplinary team, which includes Dr.

Daniel B. Kessler, one of Arizona’s premier developmental pediatricians, takes a 360-degree view of each

child as part of a process designed to address all aspects of a child and his or her life, including their health

and development, home life, child care environment and the parent-child relationship.

The focus on parent-child relationships – unique to Southwest Human Development and one of the

cornerstones of the Children’s Developmental Center – is important because these relationships greatly

influence how well the child and family do over the short and long term.

By using this early, comprehensive approach, the Children’s Developmental Center is helping children

now, preventing future problems and saving money that would otherwise be spent on later medical,

developmental and emotional treatment for this vulnerable population.

Last year, the Children’s Developmental Center served 535 children through a graduated system of care

that includes consultation, home visits and comprehensive assessments. A special thank you to Easter

Seals Southwest Human Development’s local supporters, including the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust,

The Safeway Foundation, Gila River Indian Community, Geneva Fund and Medtronic Foundation for

helping make the Children’s Developmental Center a reality.

Nurse-Family Partnership In 2009, Southwest Human Development brought Nurse-Family

Partnership, one of the most successful home visiting programs in the country, to Arizona families. In

this program, registered nurses work with low-income, first-time mothers to help them have a healthy

pregnancy, become knowledgeable and responsible parents and provide their babies with the best

possible start in life.
