The Children’s Home was pleased to welcome Hope Squad founder Dr. Greg Hudnall to our campus today. Dr. Hudnall founded Hope Squad 16 years ago while he was working in the Provo City School District office in Utah, which at that time was dealing with an average of one or two youth suicides every year. Dr. Hudnall founded the peer-to-peer organization soon after and Hope Squads were subsequently implemented in every school in the district. Suicides in the area dropped exponentially. Check out the entire story in the "news" section at tchcincy.org.
We've partnered with Sidewinder Coffee over the next quarter to raise funds for the at-risk populations served by The Children's Home.

You'll be able to purchase it online at Sidewinder's website or at their shop in Northside. Not only will you be enjoying your own "healing" blend - you'll be supporting vulnerable children and families. Stay tuned to our channels to learn when you can get your own bag of "Hope, Help and Healing" coffee from our friends at Sidewinder!

Today, transition services trainees helped assemble materials for Budget Bootcamp.
“It’s always fortuitous when we have opportunities to let our transition services students get away from our usual operations at Got-Special KIDS,” said Shayla Becze, job readiness and retail operations senior manager. “Any working adult knows that the ability to adapt to changing needs on the job site is a constant. But, for the autism community, dealing with change is a skill many must be taught. Our trainees were not expecting to put together resource folders for Budget Bootcamp today, but they handled the change from their usual work routine very well.”
If you haven't checked out Got-Special KIDS lately you should really give the new items a look. One of our mom's tried out GSK's Wiggle Wobble Chair Feet and sent this photo. Visit https://www.got-specialkids.com/ to learn more.

During lunch on staff development day, the Early Childhood Day Treatment team utilized their strength of creativity while engaging in a self-care activity. Clinical Supervisor Allison Burnam’s mother, Gail Burnam, volunteered her time to lead the group in a painting activity.

Check out the turkeys our Day Treatment clients made. The impact of art as a therapeutic tool should not be overlooked, says April Kandil, director of campus based programs at The Children's Home. "Mediums including drawing, collages, creative writing, painting and other forms of art have been shown to aid in a variety of diagnoses like ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, depression and a myriad of challenges youth may be navigating, Kandil said. "Coupled with other treatment, art therapy helps with communication, raises self-esteem and improves self-awareness."

“Project-based learning is an educational approach that lets students expand their knowledge and skill-sets by successfully researching, collaborating and completing specific projects that mirror some of the same complexities they would find in the world after high-school,” said Connie Ralston, upper school job readiness intervention specialist. “It’s a form of discovery-learning or experiential-learning that gives students a specific goal that they reach by inquiry, critical thinking and collaboration with peers and instructors.”

“Sensory play has a vital role in development especially for younger learners,” said April Kandil, director of campus based programs at The Children’s Home. “Children are born with the innate desire to explore their world with their senses. These activities help a developing mind categorize and make sense of their surroundings. It’s even more important for the special needs population who may have sensory integration issues. Sensory play also aids in language development, fine motor skills and even gives many kids a sense of calming.”

“We call these projects ‘kitchen chemistry’ and our HIPPY clients learn the skills of predicting, observing, recording, and recall,” said Maria Meinking, early learning supervisor at CoStars by The Children’s Home. “A few weeks ago, children made a bubble solution and used household items to create a bubble wand. This week they are making a different kind of bubble by adding salt to a jar of water and oil, which turns into something like a lava lamp.”

Mamie Phipps Clark, PhD, conducted groundbreaking research on race, self-esteem and its link to child development. Her work, alongside her husband, Kenneth Clark, PhD, was instrumental in the Supreme Court case of 1954, Brown v Board of Education. Noting the limited services available to children of color, she spearheaded the first agency to offer psychological services to at-risk children and families in the Harlem area of New York City.
Thanks to her work, agencies like The Children’s Home exist to provide specialized mental and behavioral health services to vulnerable children and their specific needs. Learn more about our services at www.tchcincy.org.
