LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
The Honorable Governor Pat Quinn Members of the General Assembly Dr. Christopher Koch, State Superintendent of Education Springfield, Illinois Dear Governor Quinn, Members of the General Assembly, and Dr. Koch, We are pleased to present this summary of activities of the Illinois Service Resource Center (ISRC) for Fiscal Year 2010. The ISRC has been supporting the behavioral needs of children in Illinois who are deaf or hard of hearing since 1993. Respectfully submitted,
Cheri Sinnott, LCSW ISRC Director

Executive Summary The Illinois Service Resource Center (ISRC) was initiated to serve as the initial point of contact for parents, professionals, school personnel and other service providers, for children in Illinois who are deaf or hard of hearing and who exhibit behavioral and/or mental health challenges. The ISRC serves the individual needs of each child by providing information, technical assistance and training. As a component of the Illinois Statewide Technical Assistance Center (ISTAC), ISRC serves the behavioral needs of students in Illinois who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing at all three levels of the Response to Intervention continuum: Universal, Targeted, and Intensive In Fiscal Year 2010, the ISRC completed its seventeenth year of serving this population of students in Illinois. In that time the ISRC has developed strong relationships with a network of educational teams and service providers throughout the state. The number of students impacted by ISRC’s services continues to grow. Data collected on students served indicate an improvement in the overall emotional functioning skills of students at school and at home following ISRC intervention, with the most significant improvement being at school. Specific areas of improvement include handling disagreements, controlling anger, responding like other youth in emotional situations, knowing how and when to ask for help, having friends, being socially appropriate, expulsions, discipline referrals, and need for additional behavioral and academic assistance in the classroom. This year, ongoing services include Classroom Behavior Management Mentoring program for new teachers, support for Universal Level school-wide and program-wide behavior programs, Data Collection Coaching for educators, quarterly training for 25 Behavior Support Teams, and coordination of home-school wraparound-type teams for students with Intensive Level needs. The online E-Learning Academy grew to ten modules. Demographic data on students identified with both Deafness/Hearing Impairment and an Emotional Disturbance for the last 10 years was reviewed by Ethnicity for LRE placement through the ISRC tracking system. Illinois, through the ISRC, is the leader in the nation in providing a coordinated effort to meet the behavioral needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Project Overview The Illinois Service Resource Center (ISRC) was initiated to serve as the initial point of contact for parents, professionals, school personnel and other service providers, for children in Illinois who are deaf or hard of hearing and who exhibit behavioral and/or mental health challenges. The ISRC serves the individual needs of each child by providing information, technical assistance and training. As a component of the Illinois Statewide Technical Assistance Center (ISTAC), ISRC serves the behavioral needs of students in Illinois who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing at all three levels of the Response to Intervention continuum: Universal, Targeted, and Intensive The primary responsibilities of the ISRC, as mandated by Section 14-11.03 of the School Code of Illinois include (for a complete version of Section 14-11.03, see appendix A): a) Statewide identification and tracking of students who are deaf or hard of hearing and who exhibit behavioral and/or mental health challenges 1; b) Maintain and distribute a resource directory of services available for students in this population; c) Coordinate a statewide service delivery plan for these students by providing technical assistance, evaluation, consultation and referrals; d) Provide training for parents and personnel who work with this population; e) Maintain a library of resource materials available for parents, educators and individuals who work with this population; and f) Promote an awareness of the services available by the ISRC. All but one of these state mandated objectives are focused on serving individual students. Our goal at ISRC is to build the local capacities of programs that serve D/HH students. In order to build this capacity, our objectives in addition to those mandated by school code are as follows for fiscal year 2010. Alignment to state-mandated objectives is indicated where applicable. • Ensure the availability of technical assistance for educational teams serving students with a hearing loss who exhibit behavioral and emotional challenges (State-mandated objective c) • Ensure the availability of training opportunities for educational teams serving students with a hearing loss who exhibit behavioral and emotional challenges (State-mandated objective d) • Build the capacity of D/HH programs to provide program-wide behavior support plans (Statemandated objective d) • Provide leadership in developing a set of consistent standards for meeting the behavioral needs of students with a hearing loss. • Provide resources for educational teams serving students with a hearing loss who exhibit behavioral and emotional challenges. • Enhance the meaningful participation of families of students with a hearing loss who exhibit behavioral and emotional challenges. • Build awareness of services and resources for students with a hearing loss who exhibit behavioral and emotional challenges.

Description of Project Implementation In FY10 ISRC served the educational teams and families of individual students, while at the same time providing services and resources to build capacity to serve these students at the local level. A total of 693 on-site visits were provided to schools and homes for 147 individual students during FY10 (Appendix C). Quarterly training was provided for 25 Deaf/Hard of Hearing Behavior Support Teams from across the state (Appendix E), and coaching support was provided for the implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) for seven educational programs serving deaf/hard of hearing students (Appendix C).

On-site technical assistance visits – In 2010, ISRC’s four behavior specialists visited homes and schools across the state of Illinois to provide 693 instances of individualized assistance for students. Examples of activities at these visits include facilitating home-school team meetings, attending IEP meetings, and assisting in collection of data and development of behavior plans. For a complete description and statistics of the on-site technical assistance visits that occurred in fiscal year 2010, see appendix D. Assistance via electronic support – Because there are only four staff members to service the entire state, it is not always possible to provide face-to-face support. Throughout the year, ISRC’s behavior specialists use e-mail, videophone, and telephone to keep in contact with our clients. Assistance via electronic support occurred 1933 times in 2010. Helpline calls – ISRC provides a twenty-four hour helpline number available to deliver services to individuals who need assistance in crisis situations, need to be connected to resources in the community, or are interested in receiving services from ISRC. In 2010, 99 helpline calls were received.

Active behavior teams – Four times each year, ISRC provides trainings to behavior teams from deaf and hard-of-hearing programs across the state. Training topics include development of behavior plans, data collection, and coaching other staff members. In fiscal year 2010, twentyseven behavior teams participated in these quarterly trainings. For a map of our active behavior teams, see appendix E. PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Implementation Coaching – ISRC provides support for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing programs that are interested in implementing PBIS. ISRC assists teams in attending trainings and provides follow-up support and coaching. As of Fiscal Year 2010, seven D/HH programs are implementing PBIS (see appendix C). Ongoing training and support – In addition to quarterly trainings, ISRC provides trainings upon request such as teacher in-service days and parent support groups. Trainings provided in 2010 include anger management, positive behavior interventions, learning styles of deaf and hard-ofhearing students, and classroom management. Through these trainings, ISRC was able to support 1,217 educators and 168 family members in 2010 (see appendix E for detailed statistics). Data collection coaching - Many educators find it challenging to collect behavioral data on students while they are teaching. ISRC provides coaching support related to data collection methods, and can also record behavioral data in the classroom at the same time as a teacher to compare for inter-rater reliability. A data graphing service provides assistance in converting collected data into meaningful graphs and charts which can be used for data-based decision making. In 2010, provided sixty-five instances of data collection coaching. Classroom management mentoring - Classroom management mentoring is provided for first year educators of deaf and hard of hearing students, and teachers with more experience upon request. The new educators follow a curriculum aimed at developing skills in implementing positive behavior support systems within the classroom. In fiscal year 2010, four educators participated in this program. E-learning academy – ISRC has developed ten e-learning modules (four of which were added in 2010) that are available to families and professionals. These modules discuss topics such as classroom management, autism, development of behavior plans, and bipolar disorder. Educators who complete these modules can receive CPDU credits for their efforts. In 2010, four educators took advantage of these modules.

Resource Library – ISRC’s resource library consists of an expanding collection of over 1200 items, including books, videotapes, audiotapes, test kits and games related to deafness, deaf culture, sign language, audiology, mental health, behavior management, parenting and administration. Requested materials are mailed with return postage included. In 2010, 345 items from the general collection and twenty-six from the testing library were used. Appendix F provides detailed statistics about the items circulated this year.
Meaningful involvement of parents and families continues to be a challenge. Although ISRC provides in home technical assistance and coordinates Home School Teams for individual students, outreach to a wider population of parents and families could be enhanced. There are few training opportunities available to reach the parents of deaf and hard of hearing students, and there is no statewide network available for these parents. The E-learning Academy is in its early stages of development. Although there are ten modules available to provide no cost CPDUs to educators, only four educators utilized this resource in FY10.

Description of Project Impacts and Outcomes Serving Individual Students Stress Data Collection While serving individual students, ISRC Home School Teams identify strategies and interventions aimed at increasing appropriate behaviors, reducing inappropriate behaviors, and reducing stress for parents, educators, and students. At each on-site visit to schools and homes, the parents, educators, and students are each asked to assess their level of stress related to the behavioral issue on a scale of 1-10 (1 is lowest stress, 10 is highest stress). The percentage change reported below was calculated by comparing the stress rating at the first visit in FY10 to the last visit.
Changes in Parent, Educator, and Student Stress
Number of Parents = 51
Number of Educators = 44
~9~
Number of Students = 19 Parents reported the greatest decrease in stress of the three groups. ISRC services are unique, and families receiving individual student technical assistance may be experiencing that level of individualized behavior support for the first time. Educators and students who receive individual support services from ISRC do have access to other resources prior to and in addition to ISRC support.
SIMEO Data Collection Systematic Information Management of Educational Outcomes (SIMEO) is a shared data collection platform utilized by the Illinois State Board of Education Statewide Technical Assistance Centers. Data on individual student behavioral and emotional functioning at home and in school is collected quarterly. In FY10, SIMEO data was collected on 82 of ISRC’s 147 Active Students (Appendix G). ISRC has been collecting SIMEO data on students for three years, and is now able to look at longitudinal data on students served from July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2010. The ISRC Longitudinal Study Sample includes 74 students. The following graphs demonstrate student improvement during that time period.

Need for Additional Assistance in Classroom Overall, students demonstrated an increase in Emotional Functioning both at home and at school. At home, the most significant increase reported was in student ability to handle disagreements. Improvements were also noted in student ability of knowing how to ask for help and when to ask for help. At school, student ability to handle disagreements also showed improvement, along with ability to control anger and respond like other youth to emotional situations.
~ 11 ~
In school, these students exhibited a reduction in the number of discipline referrals, along with a reduction in the number of expulsions. The areas in which they demonstrated the greatest improvements are related to social skills, particularly socially appropriate behavior with friends, socially appropriate behavior when unsupervised in the classroom, and ability to make friends. These students demonstrated a decrease in need for additional academic and behavioral supports.
Building Local Capacity ISRC supports the implementation of PBIS at six programs for DHH students, and provides quarterly training for 25 DHH Behavior Support Teams. A database was constructed in FY10 for use by DHH programs to compare SAT scores and ISAT scores over time with a goal of demonstrating impact of positive behavior support programs on academic outcomes. One program is in the beginning stages of data entry.

APPENDIX A History of ISRC and ISRC Legislation School Code
~ 13 ~
History of ISRC In 1992 and 1996, the Interagency Board for Hearing Impaired/Behavior Disordered Children (disbanded in April, 2002 by executive order), supported legislation (SB1440, P.A. 86-1200, P.A. 871127) to allow the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to establish ISRC. ISBE made a request for proposals and awarded the contract to the Center on Deafness in Northbrook for implementation in 1993. In 1996, P.A. 87-1127 changed the language of the legislation from “may fund” to “shall fund.”

Individual Student Outcomes SIMEO Data Collection In FY10, the Illinois Service Resource Center entered its fifth year of participation in the Systematic Information Management of Educational Outcomes (SIMEO) data collection and evaluation platform. This participation was made available through collaboration with the Illinois Statewide Technical Assistance Center (ISTAC). SIMEO data was collected on a total of 82 ISRC students with both targeted and intensive level needs. Data is shown here for the 82 ISRC students with intensive level needs sufficient to warrant the establishment of a wraparound-type home school team. The program allows for the tracking of the student progress in a variety of domains including placement risk and individual behaviors.
