Dear Friends,
Year in Review
With growth comes responsibility, and at ACHIEVA we do not take our responsibility lightly. ACHIEVA has stood the tests of a challenging economy and increasing community needs all the while staying true to its mission of providing lifelong supports for people with disabilities and their families.
ACHIEVA Early Intervention
ACHIEVA • Annual Report 2012
Built on a strong foundation of advocacy, ACHIEVA was founded in the 1950s by a group of parents with a common passion, to ensure their children with disabilities had the same chances in life that all children should be given. Since then, ACHIEVA has been committed to providing innovative and industry changing programs and services for individuals with disabilities and their families. Each year, ACHIEVA grows in staff, customers and support services. ACHIEVA currently operates from more than 100 different locations and is the service provider of choice for more than 12,600 individuals and their families. ACHIEVA is southwestern Pennsylvania’s largest provider of lifelong services and supports for people with disabilities and their families. As a nationally recognized leader in health and human services ACHIEVA created innovative supports, such as ACHIEVA Family Trust, for individuals with disabilities and their families.

ACHIEVA Family Trust
Individuals with disabilities and their families face significant challenges in planning for their financial stability. ACHIEVA was the first nonprofit organization in the United States to receive approval from the federal government to provide family trust services to help families plan and privately finance support for loved ones with disabilities.
ACHIEVA • Annual Report 2012
“ Everyone I have come in contact with, from ACHIEVA has been very accommodating, respectful and very easy to deal with. Thank you for everything.”
ACHIEVA Quality Assurance
ACHIEVA is committed to providing high quality supports based on the input of the people we serve. A system for evaluating the delivery of supports and services provided to customers was established.
ACHIEVA’s Disability Healthcare Initiative staff provided the leadership on Senate Bill 532 which was signed into law by Governor Corbett as Act 40. Act 40 mandates insurance coverage for general anesthesia for children under the age of seven years and individuals with developmental disabilities for whom a successful result cannot be expected under local anesthesia.
ACHIEVA requested and was granted a seat on the Medical Assistance Advisory Committee which provides the Department of Public Welfare with advice about access to and the delivery of health care services to low income individuals and families.
ACHIEVA’s advocates worked with others across the state to urge legislators to include a waiting list initiative in the Governor’s FY 2011 – 2012 budget. As a result, 700 graduates and 431 elderly caregivers will receive services during the coming year.
ACHIEVA’s disability advocates provided support to the Education Law Center and the Homeless Children’s Education Fund in their efforts to get Senate Bill 157 passed which established within the Department of Education a task force on homeless children’s education. It was signed into law by Governor Corbett on July 5, 2012.
• Established a baseline for customer satisfaction by implementing a customer satisfaction survey of ACHIEVA customers • Developed and implemented first customer service organization training via webinar • Each department developed goals to increase and track customer satisfaction
“ It is going on a year that we started services and we have seen significant improvements with our son. We are constantly telling our friends and family about ACHIEVA.”

ACHIEVA’s disability advocates provided testimony during House hearings on the waiting list crisis and the devastating effects of the proposed block grant.
ACHIEVA provided comments on the following: Pennsylvania State Plan on Aging; the Center for Medicare and Medicaid’s Proposed Rule on the Medicaid program’s Plan on Home and Community Based Services; the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Plan for its Shared Living Program and the Allegheny County Port Authority’s Proposed Fare and Service Changes.

Eight Years with ACHIEVA Family Trust Dylan was born prematurely and suffered from a significant lack of oxygen to his brain, resulting in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, uncontrolled epilepsy, severe obstructive sleep apnea, scoliosis, cortical vision impairment and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dylan requires a private duty nurse to care for him at night while his family sleeps and also during the day when they work. Dylan is unable to attend public school but his teacher comes to his home three days a week. His parents work hard to ensure his social needs are met since he isn’t able to have typical school interaction with other children. Everyone in Dylan’s life play a significant role in making this happen, everyone from his friends, nurses, teachers and family members. Dylan’s mom Carrie says, “When they say that it takes a village to raise a child, they really weren’t kidding.” Dylan’s family was introduced to ACHIEVA Family Trust in 2004. At that time Dylan was five and a half years old. “I remember the day that we had our initial meeting with everyone at the Trust. I was incredibly nervous but quickly realized I had no reason to be,” Carrie recalls. “All of the staff members were very kind to us right from the minute we walked through the door and they still are eight years later.” ACHIEVA Family Trust adds a unique and vital case management and social work component to the traditional role of the trustee.ACHIEVA offers life planning services for individuals with disabilities and their families, including a personal planning guide to help families collect and update information about their loved ones. Creating a special needs trust also helps an individual with

a disability remain eligible for government services. ACHIEVA works with individuals with disabilities and their families to ensure that proper government support services are being provided. For Dylan, the trust has been a supplement to his medical needs when insurance coverage wasn’t enough. “It has helped us to pursue alternative medical avenues, it has helped by paying for medical travels as well as his leisure travel. We always make sure we offer Dylan the opportunities to experience joyful things in his life since his life is bound by so many medical issues and treatments. The Trust has always been good to Dylan in that respect.” At ACHIEVA we know and understand the challenges people with disabilities and their families face, especially when planning for their financial future. ACHIEVA Family Trust now has over 1,900 accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families.Establishing a trust account with ACHIEVA Family Trust offers some peace of mind to families working to ensure that their loved ones are taken care of in the future. “They are the gate keeper so to speak when it comes to Dylan’s funds. They ensure that all monies are being used for Dylan’s benefit, just as it should be.”
“ I am confident in knowing that I can pick up the phone or email someone at ACHIEVA and they will always greet me with a friendly hello, a smile and offer us a helping hand.”

“I never thought that we would need to even think about needing a special needs trust for one of our children but since we do, I am proud to say that we love ACHIEVA Family Trust” –Dylan’s Mom, Carrie
“ All of their (ACHIEVA) guidance throughout the years has helped me to learn more about being proactive for my son and to get some of the things that we have needed for Dylan”
Dylan is now 14 years old and as I look back I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. Dylan’s health has waxed and waned over the years and at this point we have been told that he has end stage respiratory disease. We know that Dylan’s time here on earth won’t be forever but we also know that we take each moment that we have together and we make them count. Life is a gift and it’s because of Dylan that we truly understand that.

“I was given a lifeline in the ACHIEVA therapist that my daughter was paired with.”
“I have grown from a scared, anxious parent into a strong advocate for my children.” –Abigail and Jameson’s mom, Shannon
There are several different techniques and approaches to caring for a child with a disability. It’s important for families to decide what approach works best for them and stick with it. Therapists at ACHIEVA are trained to educate and help families implement the best approach, guiding them every step of the way.
Four years ago Shannon and her husband had their second child, a beautiful baby girl they named Abigail Grace. In the midst of their excitement and joy for their new addition their lives were changed forever. “In our discharge paperwork there was a small yellow piece of paper,” Shannon recalls. “Our daughter had failed the newborn hearing screen and just six weeks later we learned that she was deaf.” News of Abigail’s condition sparked doubt for Shannon. She wondered if she could parent a child that she knew nothing about, if she could be a good mom to a deaf child. Therapists with ACHIEVA showed her she could.
“There are two different schools of thought on how best to educate deaf children, the oral-auditory approach and the total communication approach. As Abigail approached transition, we needed to make a decision on which philosophy best fit our family. Our ACHIEVA therapists visited preschool options with us, connected us with other families and provided resources that illustrated the benefits of each philosophy. We chose to educate our daughter using a total communication approach and we feel confident that was the right choice for our family because our therapists provided us with so much vital information.”
ACHIEVA’s early intervention is designed as a family training model. By providing services in home and community environments therapists are able to teach families the skills necessary to promote their child’s growth and development in the context of their everyday life. ACHIEVA therapists show families how to incorporate learning opportunities throughout the child’s day, giving the family the tools and confidence necessary for their child’s improvement. “Our therapist helped me to realize that I could do this, that I could be a good mom to a deaf child. She was not only my guide in an unfamiliar world, but also my source of strength.”
Just as Shannon’s extraordinary efforts became ordinary the family was hit with another diagnosis that would greatly impact their lives. Abigail lost all remaining residual hearing in her left ear, which meant the family had to make some decisions about Abigail’s care moving forward. Faced with another tough decision, Abigail received a cochlear implant in May 2011. “I once again found myself in an unfamiliar world full of anxiety. How could I take care of this piece of equipment that was worth more than my parents’ home? How could I learn to use it? How can I convince her to wear it? Did we make the wrong decision?” With help from ACHIEVA therapists the family was able to make it through. “ACHIEVA therapists provided ideas on how to adapt our schedules, continuous instructions on how to use the equipment, how to maintain it and countless hours of working one-on-one with Abigail to grow with it. “
“This is what early intervention success really looks like; this is what ACHIEVA therapists have given my family over the past four years.”
From once being the mother unsure of how to care for her little girl, unsure if she had the strength and knowledge to care for a deaf child, to a mother confident enough to soon after welcome her third child. One month after Abigail’s cochlear implant was activated Shannon gave birth to a baby boy, Jameson Andrew who, like his sister, was also deaf. Jameson was immediately enrolled in early intervention services with ACHIEVA and paired with yet another wonderful therapist. “I have learned so much in the last four years about how to be a strong parent and advocate for my child. Our therapist comes up with techniques and ideas that I haven’t seen before. She is a wealth of wonderful information and not only focuses on Jameson, but on our whole family.”

A Mother’s Will
At four years old, Abigail is enrolled in a specialized preschool program that utilizes total communication. She is bi-lingual, communicating in English and and American Sign Language (ASL) and will start kindergarten at her local elementary school next year. Jameson, is now 15 months old and is learning several signs and beginning to talk. As for mom, “I have grown from a scared, anxious parent into a strong advocate for my children.”
