Dear Donors!

We appreciate your financial support helping us to encourage children to reach their educational goals. Our children like to use the visual helpers such as classroom educational posters, social-emotional cards, visual schedule and family albums. All visual helpers support them to learn effectively.

We created a Feeling Board, and our little learners know about own feelings. For example, Alicia can not say "I am happy" yet, however she can pointing to the picture with a happy face. Using real-life photos, and pictures that can help to make easier with remembering expectations, routines or directions, or sequences of steps. Daniel likes to use the classroom visual schedule, and he is much better with remembering what came next. Using the First/Then Board (first hand washing, then snack) helps Daniel with transitioning smoothly between activities or routines. Our children love real pictures/photos, and they enjoy their Family Albums. Every smile counts when Alex looks at mom's face and takes his album. Alex has difficulty communicating verbally. Using visual helpers, Alex points to a picture of what he wants to do next at classroom. 

We continue to think about creating and buying the new visual helpers that very important for child's progress in all areas of development: communication, physical development, cognitive development, and increasing adaptive skills and social-emotional skills.

Again and again we appreciate your generosity supporting our children and their families. 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Donors!

Again and again we send you our special Thank You letter for your financial support. Our wonderful unique children who have required help and assistance in communication, social interactions, and social situations say the best social words and phrases: "Please, Thank You, and Help me". Penndco Parent's Committee sends you the best appreciative words and the best wishes too. Our student Ilyas uses his favorite "thank you" consistently. 

Penndco parents and children appreciate GlobalGiving Foundation for the valuable support! For example, Ilyas' mother Mrs. A. shared how valuable this program is for her son, and she appreciates every sponsor who financially supports the Penndco program: Teaching 6 Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Penndco Parent's Committee member Mrs. Olga appreciates GlobalGiving Foundation for regular help many years.  

Penndco continues to buy the social skills books, textured toys/books and tools for supporting our children to participate in the social situations appropriately and to be attend to the sensory activities. Every social activity counts! It is a very important goal of our program.

Thank you so much again!

Happy Holidays!

Dear Penndco Supporters!
 

We would like to share with you how important for us to enjoy a talking time! We have discussed with parents about Talking Time vs TV Time.          

Penndco children loves to watch TV or videos, and therapists can use TV only with a reason to interest a child in books, songs and communication. Many computer programs teach our children new vocabulary and provide an opportunity to listen and to follow directions. We recommend our parents to have a limited time watching TV with a child, and if watching TV together with a child, using the pause button for videos. Discussion during a watching TV is very important for child’s brain development. If child has a limited vocabulary, we recommend to use more effectively books activities, 3D book activities, songs and rhyming, and labeling. Our goal is limited TV/videos time, and more time in using Visual Helpers to help our children understand and talk about feelings and social situations.                     

Sophie's mother shared that she decreased TV time for her child, and she did a focus on reading the books with the real pictures. As a result, a child’s vocabulary is increased! Mother of Samuel shared that she has used a combination of the videos, especially family videos, with reading a book to help her child to communicate and to ask help.                                    

One of the valuable Penndco recommendation is turn TV time into talking time!
Penndco Board of Directors supports this statement in reaching our social and communication goals. 
Talking time is Fun! Every new word counts! Every interaction counts! Increasing communication is our main goal for 2022-2023 school year!

Dear our Donors,

During spring time community programs for children are taking some precautions to ensure the continued health and safety of those served and those who provide services. Penndco therapists provide the services for our children and their parents or family members by using the following technology such as Zoom, Skype, Viber, Face Time, phone conversations or having the service in person. We understand how important to provide opportunities to children and their parents by using some effective strategies, activities as well as suggestions during tele-intervention communication or in personal connection. Together we enjoy child's home activities by discussing child's progress and child's needs. Samuel's mother shared how important for her to participate with her child in tele-intervention program by learning new strategies and  how to help her son to play nicely with toys and adults at home and how to help him with following daily routines at home and daycare appropriately. 

We friendly remind our parents that health and safe playtime at home or a daycare is a number one priority, and we need to follow through universal precautions and Penndco illness policies. We understand how our children with autism spectrum disorder require to have the social interactions for increasing their social skills and communication. We are happy to come back to Penndco for enjoying with our children and families the social life and wonderful greeting time. Alexander's parents are so appreciative to have the therapy with their son in person at Penndco. They always appreciate us for a safety environment! 

Thank you all Penndco donors and supporters for providing financial support during last three months. We appreciate your help always!

Thank you for your cooperation!

Stay healthy and safe!
