LETTER FROM THE CEO & PRESIDENT AND BOARD CHAIRS

Dear Friends of Spaulding Youth Center,

Throughout the past iscal year, we have found ourselves surrounded by friends and supporters, enjoying the many wonderful ways that they contributed to everyone on campus.

Staring in fall of 2015, we began a wonderful relaionship with one of our most comforing supporters, the Belknap Mill Quilters Guild. This 106-member organizaion has delivered over 50 handmade comfort quilts to the students and children at Spaulding Youth Center. Ater meeing a few of the grateful recipients during their irst visit, this organizaion was inspired to make a pledge to create a custom comfort quilt for each residenial student based on their preferences and interests. Each quilt requires 100+ hours to complete, which means over 5,000 hours has already been donated to provide comfort to those in our care. Each delivery of handmade comfort quilts is met with excitement, and each recipient leaves with so much more than just a beauiful quilt. The enhanced sense of self and pride at owning something created just for them are great strides towards success for some of our students. The impact of their donaion is immeasurable and we are grateful for their ime and talent.

Then this spring, Colcord Cotage decided to atempt the New Hampshire Fire Tower Challenge, which requires hiking the 15 acive ire towers in NH that are accessible to the public. Ater hiking all 15 towers, the NH Division of Forests and Lands will send each student a Tower Quest patch, ceriicate, and a leter in recogniion of their accomplishment. On April 23rd, the staf and students started the challenge and hiked to their irst tower. Just a few short months later, they completed their last challenge with a celebratory, cabin campout night in Pitsburg, NH followed by a hike to their inal tower on Mount Magalloway the next day.

Not only have the students relied on the support of their friends and trusted adults to keep going even when things get tough, but the Fire Tower Challenge has also been inspiraional to everyone on campus, and even brought the residences together. Colcord students welcomed a student from Lambert for a hike, lending him a hand and waiing paiently as needed.

They also have welcomed Davis students, Community-Based kids and even Cuter Wiggins’ younger children. This teamwork and cooperaion provided a real-world demonstraion of the success that our students strive for every day.

At the close of the iscal year, we were proud to recognize staf who reached milestones during their tenure at Spaulding Youth Center, helping to make life here beter in many wonderful ways. As of June 30, 2015, there were thirteen employees who celebrated 5 years at Spaulding Youth Center, seven employees who celebrated 10 years, three who celebrated 15 years, and three individuals who celebrated 20 years. These milestones are certainly a source of pride on our staf, but we would be remiss if we did not also recognize those who celebrated their 31 year, 33 year, 39 year and even 41 year milestones this year. These individuals have truly dedicated their careers and several decades to serving the children at Spaulding Youth Center and we are grateful for their service.

Inspired by these examples of heroic efort and unwavering commitment, we coninue to strive to provide new and creaive ways to coninue delivering programs and services worthy of the Spaulding Youth Center mission. As we enter into the next year, we are excited to celebrate all the ways our friends and supporters contribute to our campus, recognize the many promising opportuniies on the horizon, and look forward to welcoming the next phase of our success-illed future.

STAFF ACHIEVEMENTS

Coninuing Educaion AchievementsIn addiion to providing the highest quality educaion for our students, Spaulding Youth Center is commited to the concept of lifelong learning

for our diverse staf. Our leadership believes professional development and coninued knowledge advancement are fundamental components of a successful and thriving campus community. We recognize that the personal saisfacion and accomplishment of achieving academic goals is criical for every individual on campus, from our youngest student to our most tenured employee.

Paraeducator II Ceriicaion

In Spaulding School, a large majority of our 41 staf aides were awarded New Hampshire Department of Educaion Paraeducator II Ceriicaions because of demonstraing a higher level of educaion and knowledge. The Paraeducator II Ceriicaion requirements align with the No Child Let Behind (NCLB) and Individuals with Disabiliies Educaion Act (IDEA) and qualify an individual for employment in a Title I or Title II school. Therefore, this ceriicaion level includes higher standards than the Paraeducator I Ceriicate to ensure that students who need the most help are taught by highly-qualiied teachers and paraprofessionals. Spaulding Youth Center has included this ceriicaion in our Professional Development Master Plan presented to and renewed with the NH DOE every three years.

Residenial Counselor CeriicateIn our Residenial program, nineteen of our residenial staf recently earned the Residenial Counselor Core Training Ceriicate from Granite State College. This program is ofered twice a year through Granite State College and includes focused study in topics such as Auism Spectrum Disorder, Caring

for Children with Emoional Disorders, Understanding Trauma, and Promoing Posiive Behavior in School-Age Children. By compleing this intensive ceriicate program, our Residenial staf are equipped to provide the highest quality support to the students who reside on campus.

Funding Iniiaives In addiion to these program-speciic accomplishments, Spaulding Youth Center staf are also invited to uilize professional development iniiaives. Spaulding Youth Center ofers up to $5,000.00 grants for individuals enrolled in degree programs. In the past year, twelve staf members applied and were awarded grant funds for this purpose towards a variety of degree programs, including Masters of Psychology, Masters of Special Educaion, Masters of Speech Language Pathology, Masters of Educaion, and Doctorate of Educaion. In addiion, Spaulding Youth Center ofers College for America funding for individuals in pursuit of an advanced

degree. As part of Southern New Hampshire University, this accredited, nonproit degree program is designed speciically for working adults with busy lives. Currently, six employees are working towards Associate and Bachelor degrees with another three employee requests currently pending approval. Finally, Spaulding Youth Center consistently organizes on-campus trainings throughout the year to support everyday interacions and posiive reinforcement with students.

Cindy Foley, Centers

for Disease Control

and Prevenion’s 2016 Childhood

Immunizaion Champion Award

Each year during Naional Infant

Immunizaion Week, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Foundaion and the CDC recognize individuals who make signiicant contribuions toward improving community health through childhood immunizaion. One recipient is honored in every state and Cindy Foley was selected as the 2016 New Hampshire CDC Childhood Immunizaion Champion. Ms. Foley is the Spaulding Youth Center Primary Vaccine Manager and RN and is responsible to create a warm, calming and supporive environment to accommodate the special needs students on campus. Since rouine medical procedures can be a challenge for our unique students, Ms. Foley has developed an excepional approach, including performing pracice sessions with each child to monitor facial expressions and body language and idenify fears or anxieies speciic to that student. This addiional ime and efort enables Ms. Foley to proacively desensiize the student for the actual vaccinaion and resulted in profound posiive outcomes on our campus.

clinicians, case managers and parent aides who work together as a cohesive team.

Individual Service Option (ISO)

Foster CareFor over ten years, Spaulding Youth Center has served

our community by providing ISO foster homes for

children and youth ranging from birth to 18 years of age.

As part of our services, we recruit and train foster parents

and license approved homes. Once the foster home is

licensed, Spaulding Youth Center provides 24/7 support

and services. Beyond training, these services may include

case management, treatment planning, transportation and

supervision for visits, respite care and crisis stabilization.

Staf work with the foster parents, birth families and pre-

adoptive homes to develop a plan to transition the child

towards permanency.

Individual Service Option (ISO) In-Home ServicesSpaulding Youth Center’s ISO In-Home Services provide

new skills training to the current home’s residents to

better support the child. his training is available for

foster families, birth families or relative care homes. ISO

In-Home Services are also provided for those students

who have stepped down from the Spaulding Residential

Program and need support for the transition back to their

home environment.

Child Health SupportSometimes children and families require a less intensive level of service which the Community-Based Programs

team can provide. Although the services vary, they oten include providing transportation and supervision for

parental visits, training and psychoeducation for the family as well as coordinating services and

identifying community resources. As with all of Spaulding Youth Center’s services, each support plan

is tailored to meet the needs of the individual child and family.

Tailored Services Based on Proven Best Practices

Clinical Services

Clinical Services

Spaulding Youth Center’s clinical philosophy embraces an evidence-based approach with a focus on

interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe the children and families we work with deserve services rooted in

proven techniques supported by available literature and research. Leveraging these best practices, the clinical team

will actively collaborate and design individually-tailored services where they are needed most. hese services could

include individual, group or family therapy at any point during enrollment. When developing the student’s services

portfolio, the team members will consider your child’s age, existing diagnosis, recent assessments, developmental

level and functioning level.

The Clinical Services TeamSpaulding students beneit from expert staf in the areas of

Special Education, Psychology, Behavior Analysis, Speech

and Language, Occupational herapy, Physical herapy, and

Nursing. he Clinical Services department is overseen by a

licensed doctorate-level psychologist and boasts three Board

Certiied Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). hese credentialed

clinicians will perform a variety of analyses and evaluations

to create a complete proile of your child. hese could

include psycho-educational testing and evaluation, Applied

Behavior Analysis (ABA), complete functional behavior

assessments. he outcome typically includes writing behavior plans, providing discrete child training,

developing functional communication training, and designing optimal instruction delivery for the classroom.

Upon enrollment, your child will be assigned a case manager, who will serve as a liaison to your family, Spaulding

School representatives, residential caretakers and even outside mental health provider if desired. his individual

will insure that every party has the information they need as well as manage ongoing assessments as it relates to

treatment and developments. For both your family and your child, the case manager will be a single, safe point of

contact for any type of support throughout your child’s enrollment. When the time comes, the case manager will

develop a transition plan to support your child with the transition from Spaulding to their home, public school and

community.

Normalized Living in a Therapeutic Environment

Residential P

rogram

Residential Program

Spaulding Youth Center’s Residential Program focuses on normalized living and

fostering the fundamental philosophies of a family unit. In addition, the Residential

Program promotes interaction among day school peers and with classmates living

in other residences as part of our ‘one community’ philosophy. Finally, residential

teams coordinate with school-based teachers to ensure a consistent approach to

each student’s educational plan.

The Cottageshere are ive cottages on campus: Colcord, Cutter Wiggins, Davis, Lambert, and Young. Every cottage is designed

to mirror a typical living accommodations and includes a full kitchen, a big and a small lounge, laundry room with

washing machine and dryer, and a private bedroom for each child. Similar to a home environment, each child has a

list of expectations and chores to contribute to the cottage. hese chores may include doing laundry, cleaning their

room, or personal hygiene. Although students enjoy meals prepared daily by our Dining Hall for breakfast, lunch

and dinner, each cottage family unit also participates in the planning, shopping, food preparation and cooking

as part of a weekly activity to help learn independent living skills. By successfully following the rules of respect,

responsibility and safety, students can earn allowance and rewards to reinforce these normalized living successes.

Each cottage ofers an occupancy ranging from 8 to 12 students and the student to staf ratios range from 4:1 to 1:1.

Cottage placement is based on developmental needs and age. All Spaulding staf are trained in irst aid, CPR, child

development, crisis intervention and de-escalation through Professional Crisis Management (PCM). In addition,

two awake overnight staf are on duty in each cottage as well as emergency resources who are on-call 24-hours a day

for crisis response.

A Place to Call HomeEach student has his or her own room in their cottage to insure their privacy and safety. he student’s expectations

and chores are clearly displayed on their bedroom wall so that they can manage their responsibilities. Students

are welcome to personalize their bedroom with their belongings from home as well as those earned through

independent living successes.

As part of their new routine, students can receive calls anytime and are assigned a timeframe two evenings a week

for outbound calls. Upon enrollment, a list of approved people will be established for both inbound and outbound

phone calls. Students are also invited to write letters or emails to foster communication with loved ones.

Community InvolvementNearly every day, students participate in of-campus ield trips, activities, recreational and social activities.

By exploring the community oten, our residential students can embrace typical experiences, such

as grocery shopping and recreation, as well as community endeavors, such as volunteering and

supporting local sports teams. hese collaborative activities not only enrich the lives of our students

but provide opportunities to demonstrate and strengthen emerging social skills.

child will learn how to cook with their friends and foster invaluable independent life skills. In the media center

and library, students develop critical computer skills for the modern world. Since our primary focus is to provide

Community-Based Programs

Spaulding Youth Center is a licensed Child Placing Agency providing high-quality services to children, youth, and

families through our Community-Based Programs. his department consists of a licensing worker, masters level

clinicians, case managers and parent aides who work together as a cohesive team.

Individual Service Option (ISO)

Foster CareFor over ten years, Spaulding Youth Center has served

our community by providing ISO foster homes for

children and youth ranging from birth to 18 years of age.

As part of our services, we recruit and train foster parents

and license approved homes. Once the foster home is

licensed, Spaulding Youth Center provides 24/7 support

and services. Beyond training, these services may include

case management, treatment planning, transportation and

supervision for visits, respite care and crisis stabilization.

Staf work with the foster parents, birth families and pre-

adoptive homes to develop a plan to transition the child

towards permanency.

Individual Service Option (ISO) In-Home ServicesSpaulding Youth Center’s ISO In-Home Services provide

new skills training to the current home’s residents to

better support the child. his training is available for

foster families, birth families or relative care homes. ISO

In-Home Services are also provided for those students

who have stepped down from the Spaulding Residential

Program and need support for the transition back to their

home environment.

Child Health SupportSometimes children and families require a less intensive level of service which the Community-Based Programs

team can provide. Although the services vary, they oten include providing transportation and supervision for

parental visits, training and psychoeducation for the family as well as coordinating services and

identifying community resources. As with all of Spaulding Youth Center’s services, each support plan

is tailored to meet the needs of the individual child and family.


Community-Based Program Goals: • To provide specialized care and treatment for children

in the least restrictive community-based setting.

• To work with the child’s family of origin toward reuniication.

• To support a permanency plan that responds to the long-term care needs of children who cannot return home.

• To provide an array of professional, social and community services that may be accessed to meet the individual needs of a child and his or her family.

• To provide safe and nurturing home environments in which children can live and lourish.

Tailored Services Based on Proven Best Practices

Clinical Services

Clinical Services

Spaulding Youth Center’s clinical philosophy embraces an evidence-based approach with a focus on

interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe the children and families we work with deserve services rooted in

proven techniques supported by available literature and research. Leveraging these best practices, the clinical team

will actively collaborate and design individually-tailored services where they are needed most. hese services could

include individual, group or family therapy at any point during enrollment. When developing the student’s services

portfolio, the team members will consider your child’s age, existing diagnosis, recent assessments, developmental

level and functioning level.

The Clinical Services TeamSpaulding students beneit from expert staf in the areas of

Special Education, Psychology, Behavior Analysis, Speech

and Language, Occupational herapy, Physical herapy, and

Nursing. he Clinical Services department is overseen by a

licensed doctorate-level psychologist and boasts three Board

Certiied Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). hese credentialed

clinicians will perform a variety of analyses and evaluations

to create a complete proile of your child. hese could

include psycho-educational testing and evaluation, Applied

Behavior Analysis (ABA), complete functional behavior

assessments. he outcome typically includes writing behavior plans, providing discrete child training,

developing functional communication training, and designing optimal instruction delivery for the classroom.

Upon enrollment, your child will be assigned a case manager, who will serve as a liaison to your family, Spaulding

School representatives, residential caretakers and even outside mental health provider if desired. his individual

will insure that every party has the information they need as well as manage ongoing assessments as it relates to

treatment and developments. For both your family and your child, the case manager will be a single, safe point of

contact for any type of support throughout your child’s enrollment. When the time comes, the case manager will

develop a transition plan to support your child with the transition from Spaulding to their home, public school and

community.

Clinical Services Vision Statement

To exemplify excellence in training, excellence in research, and excellence

in treatment. This is achieved through fostering a culture that respects

and values the role of the family in helping children thrive, allowing

science to guide pracice and decision-making, and by making a commitment to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.


Normalized Living in a Therapeutic Environment

Residential P

rogram

Residential Program

Spaulding Youth Center’s Residential Program focuses on normalized living and

fostering the fundamental philosophies of a family unit. In addition, the Residential

Program promotes interaction among day school peers and with classmates living

in other residences as part of our ‘one community’ philosophy. Finally, residential

teams coordinate with school-based teachers to ensure a consistent approach to

each student’s educational plan.

The Cottageshere are ive cottages on campus: Colcord, Cutter Wiggins, Davis, Lambert, and Young. Every cottage is designed

to mirror a typical living accommodations and includes a full kitchen, a big and a small lounge, laundry room with

washing machine and dryer, and a private bedroom for each child. Similar to a home environment, each child has a

list of expectations and chores to contribute to the cottage. hese chores may include doing laundry, cleaning their

room, or personal hygiene. Although students enjoy meals prepared daily by our Dining Hall for breakfast, lunch

and dinner, each cottage family unit also participates in the planning, shopping, food preparation and cooking

as part of a weekly activity to help learn independent living skills. By successfully following the rules of respect,

responsibility and safety, students can earn allowance and rewards to reinforce these normalized living successes.

Each cottage ofers an occupancy ranging from 8 to 12 students and the student to staf ratios range from 4:1 to 1:1.

Cottage placement is based on developmental needs and age. All Spaulding staf are trained in irst aid, CPR, child

development, crisis intervention and de-escalation through Professional Crisis Management (PCM). In addition,

two awake overnight staf are on duty in each cottage as well as emergency resources who are on-call 24-hours a day

for crisis response.

A Place to Call HomeEach student has his or her own room in their cottage to insure their privacy and safety. he student’s expectations

and chores are clearly displayed on their bedroom wall so that they can manage their responsibilities. Students

are welcome to personalize their bedroom with their belongings from home as well as those earned through

independent living successes.

As part of their new routine, students can receive calls anytime and are assigned a timeframe two evenings a week

for outbound calls. Upon enrollment, a list of approved people will be established for both inbound and outbound

phone calls. Students are also invited to write letters or emails to foster communication with loved ones.

Community InvolvementNearly every day, students participate in of-campus ield trips, activities, recreational and social activities.

By exploring the community oten, our residential students can embrace typical experiences, such

as grocery shopping and recreation, as well as community endeavors, such as volunteering and

supporting local sports teams. hese collaborative activities not only enrich the lives of our students

but provide opportunities to demonstrate and strengthen emerging social skills.


Spaulding School

Approved by the New Hampshire Department of Education, the Spaulding School

ofers year-round, comprehensive educational services for students with emotional

and behavioral disorders in grades K-8, and with neurobehavioral disorders for

kindergarten to age 21. Our school day is six hours from 8:00am - 2:00pm and the

school calendar runs 236 days, which includes 30 days of summer school. Spaulding

School accepts both day students as well as residential students.

High-Performance BuildingIn March 2012, Spaulding School celebrated the grand opening of a modern, energy-eicient, high-performance

school building. he school created dedicated space for physical, occupational and speech therapy; a state-of-the-

art media center and library; a health services station; a multi-purpose science room; an independent living skills

suite with full kitchen; and, conference and meeting rooms to serve students, families and staf. In addition, the new

school includes eleven large, acoustically-sensitive classrooms with natural lighting and restrooms. Each classroom

is also equipped with interactive whiteboards which literally put learning at a student’s ingertips. his technology

promotes teamwork and creates unique opportunities for students to practice emerging social skills.

In The ClassroomWith an average class size of nine students, our focus is on meeting the academic and social needs of our students. Every

classroom features a lead teacher certiied in special education, an associate teacher and teaching assistants, as well

as 1:1 aides as needed. Finally, Spaulding classrooms are designed to mirror traditional public school classrooms, not

only to insure a normalized learning environment but also in preparation for the student’s return to their home school.

Robust Curriculumhe Spaulding School curriculum is aligned with New Hampshire Common Core Standards and includes physical

education, arts education, computer skills, career education and family consumer science classes. Our integrated

arts education program engages every student to participate in annual events like the science fair, author’s tea,

multicultural fair, winter carnival and spring arts festival. Using the dedicated independent living skills suite, your

child will learn how to cook with their friends and foster invaluable independent life skills. In the media center

and library, students develop critical computer skills for the modern world. Since our primary focus is to provide

conventional educational experiences for every student, adaptive technologies are incorporated as needed to insure

every child can participate in the complete Spaulding curriculum.

Therapy and Related ServicesSpaulding provides a full complement of occupational, physical and speech therapy as well as individual and group

counseling in the school setting. Our therapy rooms ofer students a variety of sensory tools, including the pillow

pit, weighted blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, several therapy swings and a stretching table.

Spaulding staf can also assist students with augmentative communication devices and assistive

technology. hese services are provided as required by a student’s IEP through our licensed and

In addiion, the new website showcases a majority of our key communicaions projects, which are displayed to the right.

Thanksgiving Luncheon: 11/19/15

On May 17th, Spaulding Youth Center hosted their annual

fundraiser breakfast at the McAulife-Shepard Discovery Center and kicked of their latest iniiaive, Learning Without Limits. This technology-based iniiaive will provide each student access to relevant, adapive technology so that they can be successful in their homes, schools and communiies.

Garret Lavallee, Spaulding Youth Center Assistant Principal and keynote speaker, shared his professional insights, personal experiences and Spaulding’s current populaion’s needs. “Technology doesn’t know the challenges our students face. Technology doesn’t understand the learning disabiliies that our students might struggle through. It doesn’t know the socio-economic status that they might come from. But it does provide an opportunity to level the playing ield for our students,” shared Mr. Lavallee. “In fact, using this technology for some of our students will be the only way they’ll ever be able to tell their mom and dad that they love them.”

As part of the program, Senator Andrew Hosmer of NH District 7 presented a NH State Senate resoluion and acknowledgement of Gary Lavallee, Special Assistant to the CEO, a 39+ year Spaulding employee.

Spualding Youth Center HistoryWith a history spanning 144 years, Spaulding Youth Center is one of the oldest organizaions in the naion serving children in need. Since 1871, we have helped over 10,000 families.

The Daniel Webster Home

The New Hampshire Orphans Home and School for Industry was founded by Chaplain Daniel August Mack and incorporated on July 7, 1871. The original homestead included part of Daniel Webster’s Elms Farm in Franklin, NH and consisted of 183 acres. Eventually, this organizaion for desitute and homeless orphans was renamed to Daniel Webster Home. In 1960, the original site was purchased by the Sisters of the Holy Cross.

The Golden Rule Farm

As a founder of the Good Will Insitute in Nashua, Reverend George W. Buzzell received a git of the 100-acre Roberts Farm, the original home of Mrs. Colby, Daniel Webster’s sister. He established a cotage method of homing there in 1901 and this farm became known as the Bradley Memorial Home. In 1914, the Bradley Memorial Home was joined to the Golden Rule Homestead, increasing its size to 400 acres in the Pemigewasset Valley between Hill and Franklin. The resuling organizaion was called the Golden Rule Farm and was known as “New England’s Own Boystown” serving boys from inadequate homes. Over the next decade, the need for orphanages was eclipsed by the need for a correcive seing for urban children, who at this ime were sent to prisons and reformatories. Thus, the Golden Rule Farm made a transiion from cotage care to rehabilitaive care.

When the Franklin Falls Dam was built in 1939, the Golden Rule Farm was forced to move and the Boynton and Holquist Farms in Northield were purchased as a new home. Later, “the top of the hill” along with a mansion were added to the farm. The original building was destroyed by ire and only the lag pole survived. The lag pole sill proudly stands behind the Spaulding Community Center, which was originally built as the Pangburn School on the same site.

A Historical Union

On June 16, 1958, the Daniel Webster Home and Golden Rule Farm merged, pooling assets and resources to create Spaulding Youth Center. The mission of this new organizaion was to provide care and treatment to youth with emoional and behavior problems, thus preserving a tradiion of caring for needy children that began shortly ater the Civil War.
