CCHAT continues to grow and refine our specialized services and delivery model to best meet the needs of this unique population. Children with hearing loss who attend our program and acquire LSL skills are able to access the full range of educational, social and vocational choices in life. Students attending the CCHAT Center were supported by their Local Education Agencies for the 2018-19 program year, but a funding gap remained. The funding gap between the cost for services and tuition was met by development income including individual donations, corporate donations, foundation grants and events as well as California Children's Services (CCS) billing and mainstream support contracts with school districts. Oberkotter funding was utilized to support CCHAT programs serving our 'littlest listeners,' children 0-18 months who are deaf or hard of hearing. With the Foundation's help, CCHAT provides vital LSL services for infants who are deaf and hard of hearing and their families. Enrollment can begin immediately after early diagnosis.Program Services CCHAT Provides:-Weekly Baby & Me session (1.5-2 hours per week)-1-2 weekly speech therapy / auditory-verbal sessions (45 minutes per session)-Audiological education and management as needed-LSL deaf mentor services-Bilingual services for Spanish speaking familiesThe expected outcomes with this project are that children with hearing loss who receive these intensive early intervention services learn to listen, talk, read, and write and are ready to enter mainstream kindergarten with their hearing peers - SB210 Kindergarten Readiness. In addition, CCHAT is working with Columbia University to publish outcome data of children with hearing loss who meet the 1, 3, 6 criteria and receive appropriate intervention services to illustrate to policy makers the need to adequately fund early intervention programs.CCHAT's Accomplishments: CCHAT is a driving force to improve education for infants and children who are DHH. CCHAT primarily serves the greater Sacramento region, inclusive of nine counties and approximately 20% of the state of California. -CCHAT staff members Ronda Rufsvold and Dr. Katie Isbell presented and submitted posters locally and nationally on a variety of LSL topics. Detailed descriptions of their contributions are in the grant report.-CCHAT experienced its highest enrollment in its 22 year history. CCHAT's center-based services supported children from 20 different school districts and parent/infant county programs:67 students who are DHH in school programs (preschool 3rd grade), 9 reverse mainstream students (typically developing hearing children who are language models for their classroom peers)-CCHAT provided mainstream support services to 275 children with hearing loss from 13 school districts.-10 students will be mainstreaming back into their neighborhood school settings for fall 2019.-July 2018, Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Meredith Wright became CCHAT's 6th staff member to achieve Listening and Spoken Language Specialist certification.-CCHAT's annual professional conference, held in February 2019, addressed two current topics: Managing children who are DHH who use spoken language in the mainstream and addressing the needs of children who are DHH speaking more than one language: 50% of CCHAT students speak a language other than English in the home-CCHAT entered 72 students into the LSL-DR including: All unaided audiograms, Updated disenrollment information from 2015-current, All Spanish PLS-5 protocols.CCS Approved Site: CCHAT continues to provide services to children and families supported by California Children's Services/Medical. We work cooperatively with the Newborn Hearing Screening program in an effort to provide vital hearing loss screenings, diagnostic evaluations and services to children in our region.Parent/family Information: CCHAT promotes and strongly encourages active parent involvement including participation in class, therapy, and school wide activities. Parents and extended family members play a vital role in each child's LSL success. The highly qualified staff provides education and guidance to parents so that they may assist their child in developing independence and self-sufficiency. All parents are encouraged to be members of the Parent-Program-Partnership (P3). P3's mission is to help every child at CCHAT reach his/her full potential by engaging and empowering families and the community to advocate for children with hearing loss. CCHAT parents contributed greatly to the success of fundraising events in 2018-2019: Bike 4 Fun, Holly Jolly and CCHAT Uncorked.Availability of Quality Programs/Services for Children With Hearing Loss, birth-3rd Grade:CCHAT's comprehensive network of programs supports children with hearing loss and their families through every step of the Family Journey, from the moment of diagnosis through successful mainstreaming. CCHAT's structured programs capitalize on the natural window for spoken language acquisition. Our 0-3 population showed significant growth during the 2018-19 program year. In addition to Baby & Me, CCHAT offers programs and services for children with hearing loss through third grade.Audiology Services: CCHAT provides audiology as a related service for students with hearing loss attending our program. Services include hearing evaluation, family counseling regarding hearing loss, fitting of assistive listening devices, and troubleshooting. Currently, we have working relationships with Phonak, Oticon, Oticon Medical, Cochlear Americas, Advanced Bionics, and MED EL. CCHAT provides onsite support services for their devices. CCHAT's Audiologist works closely with the educational staff, school districts, families, and local clinics to ensure a continuum of audiological care.Bilingual Services: CCHAT's bilingual (English/Spanish) Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) provided daily speech therapy for the 22% of CCHAT children who have Spanish as their home language. Translation support helped CCHAT families take an active role in IEP/IFSP meetings, and parent/teacher/SLP discussions and conferences. With consistent bilingual LSL support services, CCHAT has seen improved outcomes in children with hearing loss learning more than one spoken language.Mainstream Support Services: With more children returning to school districts sooner, CCHAT's Mainstream Support Program continues to grow to support this transition and help ensure success for children with hearing loss at their neighborhood schools. The team is comprised of two full-time LSLS certified teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing with part-time help from CCHAT's educational audiologist and another certified teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. They provided direct and consultative DHH and educational audiology services to more than 275 students and 500 school district employees in 13 school districts during 2018-19. CCHAT LSL experts provide training of teachers, speech therapists and additional school personnel in surrounding school districts on classroom best practices for students with hearing loss and the use of hearing assistive technology. The demand for these services continues to grow.Networks of Professionals to Serve Children and Families Throughout the Child's Education: CCHAT maintains community collaborations with educational and medical professionals who support children with hearing loss. CCHAT is dedicated to bringing more qualified people to the LSL specialty. The Center supports students entering audiology, speech-language pathology and DHH teaching positions. During 2018-19, CCHAT partnered with CSU Sacramento, University of the Pacific, and Pacific University Oregon to provide internships and practicum placements. CSU Sacramento will launch an audiology doctoral program in the fall of 2019 and we will host their student clinicians. CCHAT is in its 4th year of collaborating with UC Davis researchers, providing support examining how children with cochlear implants learn language. 1594943 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X The Organization 9163617290 11100 Coloma Road Rancho Cordova CA 95670 X Lisa Marwaha Chairperson 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John Porteous Past Chairperson 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Bindu Jaduram Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Diane Durston Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Julie Ahlquist Tanner Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aman Bains Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Balough Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erika Fatula Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Harry Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanie Simpson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ranjana Singhal Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Covello Executive Director 40.00 X 129747 0 2098 Lisa McWilliams Speech Pathology Coordinator 32.00 X 100874 0 25026 230621 0 27124 2 0 0 0 0 164797 171754 336551 Tuition and Fees 611710 1507838 1507838 1507838 27062 164797 25198 1864 1864 Other Revenue 611710 8350 8350 8350 1854603 1516188 0 1864 11678 11678 1576187 1226408 184186 165593 109417 86439 18601 4377 123039 95735 14378 12926 210 210 17416 17416 7992 7992 42860 42860 2147 2147 32414 9085 22869 460 26366 24784 1055 527 30019 21366 8653 18471 17363 739 369 43965 41327 1759 879 15788 10572 4681 535 Repairs and maintenance 27803 26135 1112 556 Class supplies and expe 18724 18724 Dues and subscriptions 13487 13487 Other expense 8939 102 7318 1519 5225 5225 2132147 1594943 347316 189888 852975 860408 787000 450000 138133 213030 9212 8866 1332429 243889 1132505 1088540 2919825 2620844 2132 1374 414237 393558 416369 394932 X 1566456 1575162 937000 650750 2503456 2225912 2919825 2620844 -277544 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7992 7992 2124155 2132147 256607 64152 0 0 233201 239096 238700 256607 967604 1451406 7992 7992 7992 7992 31968 58300 59774 59675 64152 241901 362852 235232 235232 787517 118950 668567 175549 45231 130318 134131 79708 54423 1088540 X 1842925 0 1842925 11678 11678 1854603 2120469 0 2120469 11678 11678 2132147 Part X, Line 2: In management's judgement there are no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2019.
