2010 - 2011 Annual Report

A Message from the President espite continued economic challenges far and wide this past year, I am so proud to be able to share with you details of The Arc of Chester County’s successful fiscal year for 2010-2011. Thanks to the generosity of our friends like you and diligent fiscal management, The Arc was able to end the year with an increase in net assets.

We are so grateful to everyone who chose to invest in The Arc and our many worthwhile programs. In total, we serve more than 3,000 people with disabilities and their families. We remain committed to offering programs people with disabilities need to live full, independent lives. This past year saw the growth of Agency with Choice and the expansion of our transportation program.

On the next page you’ll read about Aidan McGuire and how he has benefitted from The Arc’s First Step Preschool. As The Arc of Chester County celebrates 60 years in service to our community in April 2012, we will be sharing many more stories of the difference The Arc’s programs have made to children like Aidan as well as the adults we have served and their families.

It is my pleasure to thank you, our loyal supporters, for all you do throughout the year to benefit The Arc. Our generous family of donors, volunteers, and friends allows us to continue helping people with disabilities achieve milestones. To honor and recognize our many donors and their generosity, we offer sincere thanks to all and list each contributor in this year’s report.

Warm regards,

Amy Koegler President, Board of Directors

Faces of The Arc: Aidan McGuire

ive-year-old Aidan McGuire joined The Arc family at age three when he began attending the First Step early intervention preschool. At age one, Aidan was diagnosed with a rare chromosome translocation. No other documented cases of the same translocation exist, so there is no prognosis for Aidan’s development.

When Aidan started preschool, he wasn’t comfortable in group settings. “He also related much better with adults than other children,” mom Marie says. “Now he has opened up and tries to communicate with his peers.” Aidan’s teachers even describe him as a leader at school.

“Aidan loves to help, swing, and be silly,” speech therapist Diane Speroff shares. He can often be seen taking orders and retrieving soda from the soda machine for Arc staff.

Thanks to his Dynavox Maestro, Aidan has found his voice and can use this tool to speak in complete sentences. “He is also demonstrating great pre-academic skills,” veteran teacher Deb Landers comments. “Aidan has mastered simple prepositions and colors, and he’s beginning to count.”

Over the last two years, communication skills with his talker have improved dramatically as has Aidan’s ability to sign. His social skills have also grown leaps and bounds thanks to First Step. “Aidan is so happy at First Step that we wish he could go there until he’s 18,” mom Marie says.

In addition to First Step, Aidan’s family takes the opportunity to participate in The Arc’s family events: Breakfast with Santa and The Arc Achievement Walk & Fun Day.
