Parents may recall seeing headlines that the prevalence of childhood disability was rising, and in the first decade of this century, that was true. As one study in Pediatrics noted in 2014, even though through 2011 rates of physical disability were declining, disabilities due to neurodevelopmental or mental health problems were on a sharp uptick—particularly among socially advantaged families. By the 2015–2016 school year, however, these figures were leveling off, with 6.7 million students (13 percent) having a disability that indicated a need for special education and related services, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

What has perhaps changed most dramatically is parents’ openness about their child’s learning disabilities.

“I think it’s talked about more in society,” says Carmen Mendoza, director of learning programs at Springer School and Center. “It’s OK to say you have dyslexia or a learning disability. I think our comfort in 2019 is at a different level than it was in 1982, but it doesn’t mean there’s more kids. Those kids were always there.”

Since 1975, when the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) became law, public special education and related services have been mandated for all eligible students ages 3–21.

When IDEA was reauthorized in 2004, it included stipulations that schools shift to a Response-to-Intervention (RTI) model, so instead of testing kids for learning disabilities once they are struggling, kids should be assessed on an ongoing basis and tiered to differentiate instruction. In many schools, this model led to a team approach populated not just by teachers, but school therapists, instructional specialists, the school psychologist, and an RTI coordinator.

The state of Ohio tracks each school district’s services and results for students with special learning needs. This includes those with learning disabilities as well as students identified as gifted. These results are included in the district’s state report card.

ADVOCATING FOR YOUR CHILD

I

T’S NATURAL FOR PARENTS AND KIDS to have concerns about learning difficulties, but “I think the demands on the students themselves have become more rigorous,” says Jayme Maupin, an intervention specialist at Sycamore Community Schools. “If you don’t fall under that umbrella of someone who performs well on assessment—specifically with increased demand on assessment from the state—I feel like that also plays a role” and might lead parents and teachers to suspect a disability.

If a student or parent has concerns, the first step is observation; then, standardized tests and an assessment with

a professional at your child’s school or nearby resources such as psychologists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

“The assessment should be done to look at the child’s strengths and weaknesses, regardless of putting a label of disability on a child,” says Carmen Mendoza, director of learning programs at Springer School and Center. And an assessment doesn’t always mean your child needs special education.

After a trained professional does an assessment and finds a child is eligible for special education services, an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) P H O T O G R A P H B Y A A R O N M . C O N W AY

team—consisting of parents, teachers, administrators, and specialists—will form to develop the child’s plan. Parents have the right to also bring a (paid) child advocate to help amplify the child’s specific needs.

When things aren’t going well, some parents resort to inviting their attorney.

The IEP doesn’t just spell out goals for measuring success. Keeping an eye on the rate of improvement “is a huge part of the job of an intervention specialist,” Maupin says. There are goals and objectives every nine weeks. “That’s nonnegotiable,” she adds. “If you don’t meet those deadlines, you are out of compliance,” which impacts the school’s ratings by the state. This means if a student isn’t making progress, teachers have added incentive to ask,“What do we need to change?”

While most kids in our area navigate their learning disabilities through public school–based interventions, the private, independent Springer School and Center is focused on serving students with learning

disabilities in grades 1–8 who have average to above-average IQs, but who are underperforming in reading, writing, or math.

At Springer, notes Mendoza, “every adult in the building understands what a learning disability is,” and this creates a unique environment.

For many students, however, Mendoza is sure to clarify, an hour a day or other intervention in their public school may be enough.

Maupin, who manages cases for a mix of high school students, including many with Down syndrome, autism, and low cognitive scores, notes that the state of Ohio is now also heavily emphasizing transition programming, planning for and preparing students for what comes after high school.

This might mean exploring career pathways or giving interest inventories, and these important life-defining skills are now tracked for progress right along with skills like reading comprehension on older students’ IEPs. — S . S .

Ohio Valley Voices

tion reports that about two to three out of every 1,000 children in the U.S. are born with a level of hearing loss in one or both ears.

“Our biggest challenge for a child with hearing loss is that many individuals are not aware of the importance of early intervention,” says Katie Krekeler, a speech language pathologist at Ohio Valley Voices. “Children have the best outcome when they receive early intervention services as soon as possible.”

At OVV, children usually start with the parent-infant program from birth to 18

months. The program allows for speech language pathologists and deaf educators to teach families about hearing loss, provide speech and language therapy for their child, and also provide a support system. As students grow with the program, they receive 2.5 hours of speech and language daily. Children are grouped by language level, age, and personality types, with 2–7 students in each classroom. “By providing an individualized program,” says Krekeler, “we are able to expedite progress on their speech and language skills.”

Adventures in Summer Learning at Springer School and Center Summer break doesn’t mean kids should stop learning, and Springer School offers programs for children to stay engaged in education. During the school year, Springer provides specialized curriculum for kids with learning disabilities, but the Adventures in Summer Learning program doesn’t require a diagnosis for participation.

Studies show that without consistent practice, newly learned skills and general knowledge start to fade during summer months (called learning loss or “summer slide”). Children who struggle in reading, math, or written language, especially those diagnosed with a learning disability, are at greater risk for learning loss than other students.

The Adventure Plus sessions, tailored for all ages, include everything from crafts and board games to mastering cursive and computer tools. Also offered is a four-week morning program that provides instruction in language arts and math. Depending on the age group, children work on basic writing skills (grades 2–3) and reading comprehension (grades 4–6). Math is a separate, one-hour class to solidify math skills like computation and solving word problems.

For children who need a head start entering first grade, the Launch Program is designed to build skills in reading and math. —S . M . M .

RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS OR INJURY CPS School for the Gifted When you discover your child is gifted, what are your options?

Cincinnati Public Schools recognized the demand for gifted instruction and developed the Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students, which opened in August 2017. “We aim to consider our specific students and build an environment where they can be seen, met, challenged, and supported,” says principal Nina Ginocchio. “Gifted students are historically underserved.”

In fact, according to the National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC), the federal government does not provide guidance or requirements for gifted services. Therefore, services vary widely among states and even local districts.

Spencer offers a rigorous curriculum with a more individualized approach. Last year, fourth graders spent a full semester focusing on families experiencing homelessness and how they could use mathematics to address the issue. “As we grow, we continue to listen to families, students, teachers, and community members in order to build a program that is designed to truly meet the needs of our students,” Ginocchio says.

At CPS, students take several standardized tests in second and sixth grade, including the TerraNova or SCPP tests, which determine eligibility for admission to Spencer. Additionally, CPS students in grades K–3 take the MAP test, which is recognized as an approved Ohio Department of Education test to identify students as gifted. Spencer can accommodate 550 students in grades 3–12 and more than 7,000 CPS students are eligible for enrollment, so there’s already a lengthy waitlist for each grade.

HEN A CHILD HAS BEEN HOSPITALIZED WITH AN ILLNESS SUCH AS CANCER or sickle cell, or is recovering from an injury, returning to school can seem daunting. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is one of the few hospitals in the country with staff dedicated to helping children return successfully— and safely—to school. School liaisons work under doctor’s referral to understand a child’s medical needs and how that will impact their learning. “It’s our job to translate those to school to make sure the support is there when the child returns,” says Ryan Hanna, school liaison specialist.

This might mean sitting in on a doctor’s visit for a patient suffering from a concussion to help develop a returnto-school plan. If a child can only handle four hours of school, Hanna might suggest focusing the schedule to core subjects. Or he might recommend padding the day with breaks. Liaisons might offer new memory strategies for a child with a brain injury.

After a serious inpatient stay, “a lot of schools are really thirsty for the medical piece,” s ays D e b b i e S o u t h , school liaison specialist.

Schools need documentation regarding the child’s safety and a layperson’s understanding of the child’s medical needs as they transition back to school. “Especially after a chronic illness or an event like a brain injury,” says South, “parents are overwhelmed.”

“The schools are really the experts in knowing their school building and what resources they have,” she says. “They know the child. We’re here to help think outside the box.” Because school liaisons from Children’s work with schools locally and virtually across the country, “we’ve seen a lot of creative things schools have done, and we often share those ideas with a school.” — S .

AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL

HEN SAM SCHELL-OLSEN TELLS HIS STORY OF GOING TO college with autism, his so-called disabilities work to his advantage. Awkward social skills lead him to spend time on his studies at the University of Cincinnati. Constant anxiety keeps him focused on doing his best writing at The News Record, UC’s student news organization. “I have autism, and I’m proud of

Autism Services Campus at The Children’s Home of Cincinnati

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism affects one in 59 children in the United States. The number of kids diagnosed with autism has more than doubled since 2004, but that doesn’t necessarily mean more children have autism—it just shows the undercount of diagnosis and treatment among children in the past.

it,” he proclaims in a News Record column published in March.

The number of people who share Schell-Olsen’s diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is growing. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 1 in 59 school children had been diagnosed on the autism spectrum in 2018– compared with 1 in 125 in 2008. Like Schell-Olsen, many go on to be accepted into college and to pursue degrees. Now, schools are scrambling to help them succeed.

Until recently, the primary resources for these students were academic accommodations such as extended test time through the Americans With Disabilities Act. But students on the spectrum often need social and emotional support, says Christina Carnahan, associate professor of special education at UC. For instance, students with autism often are concrete, literal thinkers, Carnahan says. Demands for flexibility in the classroom may lead to what seem like unsettling reactions. “It can end up looking like an adult meltdown,” she says. “Really, it’s just a physical response to anxiety and stress.”

Programs such as Xavier University’s X-Path, which launched in August 2018, offer services such as supervised study tables, planned social events, and peer coaches to meet communication and social needs, says Cindy Stieby, coordinator of X-Path. UC is taking a similar approach with a pilot program on its Blue Ash campus, and Carnahan predicts services will grow in coming years as research identifies clearer best practices.

Schell-Olsen hopes his public acknowledgement of autism will inspire more students like him to explore college options. “You don’t have to be ashamed of your disability,” he says. “You can just prove the haters wrong.” —MICHELE DAY

With this growing demand, The Children’s Home of Cincinnati is providing more services at its Autism Services Campus for middle and high school students.

“The need in Greater Cincinnati is very real,” says Steven Wilson, marketing and communications manager at The Children’s Home, a nonprofit organization that provides educational

and mental health services to children facing social and behavioral challenges.

“We are increasing the capacity for enrollment in our autism services program and our preschool.”

The Children’s Home focuses on academics, but also emphasizes soft skills such as socializing, job interviews, active listening, job training, and programs for those on the autism spectrum

who are transitioning from high school to independent living.

Students benefit from low student-to-teacher ratios and a wide variety of instruction including music, art, and speech-language therapies. “The goal for students in our programs is to ensure they get the educational, behavioral, and health services they need,” Wilson says.

PA R K E R M I RU S After being diagnosed with a serious heart defect just days after birth, Parker underwent open-heart surgery at just 4 months old. Later, his mom, Sara, sent him to Camp Joyful Hearts, a weeklong camp for children with heart diseases. Now a junior at St. Henry District High School, Parker gives back through his and his mom’s nonprofit, Hearts Are Trump, an annual euchre tournament that raises money for the camp.

When did Hearts Are Trump begin?

We’re gearing up for year nine and hope to add to the more than $120,000 raised so far.

Why was Hearts Are Trump the best way to give back?

After going to heart camp, my mother and I realized that other kids are not anywhere near as lucky as I am. I could play all day and all night long, but some of these other kids could not play for more than 30 minutes. Some of the other kids had to visit the doctor every day at camp for daily checkups. Some kids have to deal with this, and my mother and I just want to do our part to help them fight in their journey.

Does the organization contribute to the camp directly?

The goal of Hearts Are Trump is to raise money for Camp Joyful Hearts and other expenses for heart patients.

What does giving back mean to you?

Giving back is important for my mother and I because it is important to help those who need it more than you. The first couple days out of heart surgery are scary. I want to give something back to the people who are less fortunate than us, because at the end of the day any of us could have been born different. And for those of us who were born fairly normal, it is only moral to help those who need it more than we do.

R I S H I K A J E YA P R A K A S H Mason Middle School seventh grader Rishika has a simple motto in life: Share your blessings. It was with this mantra in mind that she began Little Helpers, a group that organizes volunteers to complete a variety of service projects.

Past projects have included toy drives for Cincinnati Children’s patients, handmade scarves for Reach Out Lakota, and packing food for those in need of a meal.

Tell me about your belief in sharing your blessings.

When I was younger and started to notice the people around me, I saw people who weren’t as blessed as I was. My parents would tell me to be thankful, and I thought, “Well, why doesn’t everyone have this?”

They told me it was because not everyone could afford it. I thought I wanted to share my blessings with others.

The Little Helpers website says the goal is to spread kindness.

What does that mean to you?

Kindness is something we should all take to heart. I want to put smiles on people’s faces. It’s like a ripple effect. I want the world to become a kind place.

How much support do you have in your organization?

My mom helped me start Little Helpers when I was 9. For volunteers, it depends project to project, but there’s always plenty of people to help.

What is next for Little Helpers?

I want to take this to a new level and make it a nonprofit so we can spread more kindness and more people can be impacted. Kindness doesn’t stop, and when you plant that seed it blossoms as you grow.

EMMA AND AMY BUSHMAN Twin sisters Emma and Amy started the nonprofit Bake Me Home in 2008 when they were 7 years old. Now seniors at the Seven Hills School, Emma and Amy are still providing their care packages and confections—and the joy of making something special—to those who appreciate them most.

Tell us about Bake Me Home’s programs.

Why does cooking mean so much to you?

Emma: We have one where we offer a tote bag with dry ingredients for cookies, along with a Kroger gift card and toothpaste.

That’s a care package for people in domestic violence centers or shelters. The second one is called Bake Me Back Home, which sends cookies to military overseas, delivers cookies to families at the Fisher House, and provides the cookies in the lunches for the tri-state Honor Flight.

Emma: We love baking in the kitchen with our mom, so it’s always been more about the experience for us. Our main motivation was to provide that experience, especially for families.

You were only 7 when you started your nonprofit.

What inspired you?

Amy: Since we’re twins, we got a lot of presents for our birthdays.

When we were 4, instead of asking for toys, we asked for baby toys to donate to a local homeless shelter. We’d started volunteering at a shelter at that age. We had a pancake breakfast, but at one shelter, kids weren’t allowed in the kitchen while we were cooking. Because cooking is a great shared family experience, we had the idea of giving them jars of cookie mix.

Will you still be involved when you graduate?

Emma: Yes. Neither of us is going to college around here, but we have hundreds of volunteers, several part-time staff, and we’ll still be on the board.

What has Bake Me Home taught you?

Amy: Bake Me Home has taught us so much about the importance of sharing what you have if you can. It’s really important for everybody to learn that, and it’s valuable to learn at a young age. It helped instill in us the values of giving and caring.

Emma: It made us realize how lucky we are to have the lives that we do, and it made us realize we have the ability to give back and we should try to share that.

M A N AV M I D H A Cincinnati Country Day School senior Manav Midha began Study-Jump-Smile, his tutoring and mentorship service, in the fall of 2018. After working as an individual tutor, Manav realized that doing schoolwork wasn’t the only benefit—he was building friendships, too—and he wanted more students to experience that.

Why did you launch Study-Jump-Smile?

I realized there’s a need for peer-based tutoring and mentoring in the Cincinnati community. So often in our community, it’s easy to feel divided or isolated because people might not look like you or be from the same community as you. Really, we’re so much more similar than we often realize. I wanted to offer that experience to as many kids as possible.

The name sounds like there’s more than just studying involved.

We meet every Sunday at Country Day and work on schoolwork and athletic activities. We wouldn’t be able to dive deeper into schoolwork if we didn’t feel comfortable with each other. By building those relationships, we’re able to accomplish even deeper educational purposes.

Did you receive any help from other organizations?

In the summer of 2018 I began working with the Country Day administration and the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative to form a program so we could offer these services. We’re really fortunate to have been helped by nonprofits. We started with about 12 kids in the fall, and now we have more than 20 kids and 15 mentors.

You’re finishing your senior year, so what’s next for Study-Jump-Smile?

I’m going to Case Western Reserve University in the fall. My sister is currently in the 10th grade at Country Day, and we have a great leadership team in all grades at the school. I know they’ll take up the program and make it even better.

What does it mean to you to give back to your community?

This idea of giving back to the community is something I’ve really grown to appreciate. It’s our duty. We have to do it, because it makes everyone’s lives better.

SCHOOLS GUIDE 2019 Welcome to the 2019 Schools Guide, Cincinnati Magazine’s most comprehensive guide to nearly 400 schools in the Cincinnati region. Designed as a resource for both new and established families, the Schools Guide offers relevant and up-to-date information on schools throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a new school for your kids or you’re just checking up on your old alma mater, the Schools Guide is a one-stop shop for essential school information.

Because the Cincinnati USA region spans three states, the Schools Guide is organized by state, and listings contain state-specific data for each school and district. Additionally, the Guide lists some national data, such as ACT scores.

For public schools, we include the district and the high schools within that district. All private schools, including elementary and middle schools, are listed. The public school data was collected solely from the Department of Education databases for Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Private schools are not required to divulge data to the state, though many have voluntarily reported theirs to the Guide.

In Ohio and Kentucky, the Departments of Education have been working to change the way public school performance is reported. For Ohio schools, some newer data points are available in the listings, including the K–3 literacy score, which measures how successful districts are in helping struggling readers reach proficiency. We’ve also added the Prepared For Success grade, which measures how well high school students are prepared for future opportunities, as well as each district’s overall letter grade.

For more information, please visit the Department of Education websites for Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana.

W H AT D O T H E D ATA POINTS MEAN? TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE SCORES, HERE ARE THE STATE OF OHIO’S DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME OF THESE REPORT CARD COMPONENTS. Graduation Rate: The percentage of students who successfully finished high school with a diploma in four years.

Prepared For Success: Whether training in a technical field or preparing for work or college, this component looks at how well prepared students are for all future opportunities.

Annual Measurable Objectives: AMOs compare the performance of each student group to the expected performance goals for that group to determine if gaps exist. An AMO also measures whether English learners are making progress toward becoming proficient in English. The ultimate goal is for all groups to achieve at high levels.

Indicators Met: Measures the percentage of students who have passed state tests. It also includes the gifted indicator and the chronic absenteeism indicator.

Performance Index: This measures the test results of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher.

There are seven levels on the index and districts receive points for every student who takes a test. The higher the achievement level, the more points awarded in the district’s index. This rewards schools and districts for improving the performance of all students, regardless of achievement level.

NC: If a data point is listed as NC, it means it wasn’t calculated by the state.

The level of correspondence can be overwhelming, and the last thing you want to miss is an e-mail about moving to the next steps of the application process.

• Save money: Room and board plans certainly aren’t cheap. Live at home to cut costs, and thank your parents (or whoever’s paying the mortgage) while you’re at it.

• Enjoy privacy: Finding alone time can be tricky when you share a relatively small dorm room with one or, in some cases, three other people.

• Stay trim: Avoiding the Freshman 15 is easy without the temptation of an unlimited meal plan.

On campus: When commuting from home isn’t an option, on-campus living offers unique experiences and benefits that some students would argue are worth the price.

• Build community: Living on campus can boost your chances of meeting new friends.

Who knows, maybe that random roommate or across-the-hall neighbor will become a lifelong pal.

• Gain freedom: Fly the coop. Experience what it’s like to live independently. We think you’ll like it.

• Always be on time: No need to worry about traffic making you late when you can walk to class every day. Plus, the extra steps will help burn off those calories gained from that unlimited meal plan. — A . H .

I Would Change the World By… È The students in Mrs. Unger’s third grade class at Madeira Elementary School are ready to make the world a better place. Recycling. Feeding the homeless. Planting trees.

And the simplest, best way? Being kind. These kids certainly have the right idea.

“Making more lemonade stands and donating the money to hospitals and children’s homes. People would be well and it would help the children.”

—NORAH K.

“Donating money to hospitals. The doctors can buy equipment to help people.” — O L I V I A N .

“I would plant flowers and trees. Trees help us breathe.

The flowers would make the world colorful.” — N O R A F .

“Saying hello and smiling at people when they walk up to you.

It would make people be happy every day.” — H A R P E R D .

“Picking up trash and recycling. Picking up trash and recycling would be kind to the earth.” — T E S S A B .

“Putting in solar panels. It creates less greenhouse gasses and will stop the world from heating up and I like the seasons like they are!” — W YA T T H .

“Planting new trees where people cut trees down. It would make more wood for people and more homes for animals.” — S A M W .

“To change the world all you have to do is be kind. If you’re kind to someone, they will most likely pass it on, and soon everyone will be happy.”

— A D E LY N E C .

“If something looks old, try your best to make it look new. It would give the world a new coat of paint.”

— W YA T T S .

Pictured is Tessa B.

“Using solar panels and electric cars and trying to stop war. There would be less global warming and, if war stopped, not as many people would die in the world.” — M A R C O S W .
