2 Mission of Atlanta Speech School Mission Statement: To help each person develop his or her full potential through language and literacy. PRIMARY VALUES The needs of each child and adult we serve come first. Language and literacy are fundamental to productive and enriched lives. CORE PRINCIPLES Quality We strive for unequivocal excellence in every program measured by the quality and depth of impact on each person we serve. We recognize that excellence demands the continuing pursuit and application of the most advanced knowledge, research, and practices in our fields of service and expertise. We understand that the recruitment, development, and support of an exceptional faculty and staff are essential to meeting our mission. We integrate teaching, clinical practices, and advocacy within our organization for the maximum benefit of those we serve. Relationships We build relationships based on the highest trust with each child, family, and adult we serve. We seek relationships with other institutions, public and private, that share our resolve and commitment to develop the full potential of each person. We share our intellectual capacity and experience with other professionals and opinion leaders, and we listen and learn from their experiences, for the benefit of all children. We value teamwork, personal responsibility, integrity, and respect in our learning and work environments. Resources We are grateful for the time, talents, and financial resources that are invested in the lives of the persons we serve. We are committed to our financial aid program, as we seek to assist all persons in need of our services, regardless of their financial circumstances. We practice thoughtful stewardship of our resources, recognizing our responsibilities to the persons we currently serve and the need to be an institution prepared to serve future generations. History The Atlanta Speech School began as a vision of Mrs. Katherine Kitty Cathcart Hamm, mother of a son who was deaf. After her son learned to speak at the Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis, Mrs. Hamm envisioned a similar school in Atlanta where individuals of all means could benefit from specialized instruction. With the aid of volunteers from the Junior League of Atlanta, Mrs. Hamm opened the Junior League School for Speech Correction on June 6, On that historic day, fifty students were registered, a waiting list was formed, and a legacy was established. In the School s 72-year history, its programs have adapted to the changing needs of the community while remaining true to the fundamental ideals that were established when it was founded: To provide instruction to those in need of our services, without regard to their financial limitations. To maintain a caring and professional atmosphere that is open to challenges. To continue to explore and pioneer developments in communication and learning. The Stepping Stones preschool program was established in 2002.
3 Programs and Services of the Atlanta Speech School The Atlanta Speech School is a truly unique organization with four educational programs, multiple clinical and community programs, and a professional development institute. All of the programs and services offered by the Atlanta Speech School are interrelated by the importance of language in academic success and in everyday life. Academic Programs The Katherine Hamm Center is an auditory/oral education program for infants, toddlers, and elementary-age children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Auditory-oral education enables the child to communicate with spoken language rather than sign-language. Students utilize amplification in the form of cochlear implants or hearing aids. The Anne & Jim Kenan Preschool is an early childhood development program for children ages two through five. The Kenan Preschool was founded to serve as a mainstreaming site for Hamm Center students and continues to work with these students today. Stepping Stones is a preschool program for children ages three and four with speech and/or language delays. The program incorporates education and therapy with a speech-language pathologist, special education teacher, and occupational therapist on its staff. The Wardlaw School serves children in kindergarten through 6 th grade who have average to superior intelligence and mild to moderate language-based learning disabilities. The Wardlaw School emphasizes personalized instruction and prepares children for a mainstream educational environment as quickly as they are ready. Clinical and Community Programs The Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology Clinic provides diagnostic testing and therapy for children and adults on an outpatient basis. The Learning Evaluation Clinic provides psychoeducational evaluations for children ages four to eighteen years. The Occupational Therapy Clinic serves children with sensory integration, handwriting, or fine/gross motor difficulties. The Rollins Center for Language & Learning is a professional development institute for educational professionals and parents throughout the Southeast. Learning Lab provides specialized individual or small group academic remediation for children who are having academic difficulty in school. After School and Summer Camp programs provide fun and educational enrichment opportunities for children with and without special needs.
4 Stepping Stones The Stepping Stones Preschool of Atlanta Speech School is an early intervention program that provides therapeutic education for children ages three and four with speech and/or language delays. Our program incorporates a unique collaborative approach designed to assist in the child s growth and development. The Stepping Stones classroom offers the young learner an opportunity to explore and learn at his or her own rate through direct teaching, student directed activities, and interaction with classroom materials and other children within the class. The prepared environment, individualized instruction, and the freedom to explore within the classroom combine to meet the needs of the total child within cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language development domains. The instructional curriculum within each classroom is adapted from The Carolina Curriculum for Preschoolers with Special Needs with supplemental goals developed by Stepping Stones staff members. This program provides a thorough outline for educating our students in a developmentally appropriate manner. In addition to the program curriculum, therapists and teachers incorporate clinical expertise into daily planning to provide instruction that meets each child s individual needs. A supplemental series of individualized goals created with parents during the Fall conference that are specific to each child s needs also guide each student s educational experience within Stepping Stones. Program Goals 1. Develop and foster increased verbal communication patterns within each student. 2. Develop and foster increased pre-academic skill development, with special emphasis placed upon the learning of pre-literacy skills. 3. Develop and foster increased fine motor and sensory integration skills within each student. 4. Develop a positive self-concept and acceptance of oneself as a unique individual. 5. Through interaction with peers, the child will develop increased social skills. 6. Develop increased self-expression through dramatic play, interaction with groups and/or teachers, and arts. Teaching Staff Stepping Stones recognizes the importance of maintaining a low student-teacher ratio. Our specialized team is made up of the following individuals: Speech-language pathologist Educational specialist Occupational therapist Full-time teacher assistant School psychologist Our specialists incorporate a collaborative approach, providing the highest level of instruction for the students in order to maximize their learning potential. Our staff strives to maintain a constant contact with the family to relay feedback and to give instruction for practice at home. Additional Services Consultation with specialists Comprehensive educational case management Parent observation booths Parent classroom volunteer opportunities Consultations with parents at regularly scheduled conferences three times a year or by request at any time.
