WE PROJECT SERVING 150 CHILDREN THIS YEAR, WITH TWELVE THERAPISTS AND THIRTY VOLUNTEERS. OUR CADRE OF VOLUNTEERS MAINTAINS THE QUALITY OF THE PROGRAM AND KEEPS CHILD-TO-STAFF RATIOS LOW. MUSIC AND ART THERAPY HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO ENHANCE FUNCTIONING LEVEL AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN. WHEN DELIVERED IN A CLINICAL SETTING, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A TEAM OF THERAPISTS, ART AND MUSIC THERAPY ARE KNOWN TO IMPROVE ATTENTION SPAN, SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS, SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-CONFIDENCE. INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCREASE:- USE OF VOCALIZED SOUNDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMMUNICATION- ABILITY TO MAINTAIN FOCUS ON A GIVEN TASK AND DISPLAY INTEREST IN PEER PARTICIPATION- ABILITY TO CHOOSE TO DEFER GRATIFICATION FOR THE GREATER GOOD- AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT OF ONE'S BEHAVIOR ON OTHERS- AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT OF ONE'S EMOTIONAL SELF-EXPRESSION ON OTHERS- ENGAGEMENT IN RECIPROCAL/COOPERATIVE INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERSBRIAN L.

HE SUFFERS FROM PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME, A RARE, CONGENITAL DISORDER THAT RESULTS IN A NUMBER OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. BRIAN EXPERIENCES A CONSTANT CRAVING FOR FOOD, A KEY FEATURE OF THE SYNDROME. OTHER SIGNS INCLUDE LEARNING DISABILITIES, DELAYED MOTOR DEVELOPMENT AND SPEECH PROBLEMS.ACCORDING TO BRIAN'S MOTHER, "HEARTSONG HAS EVOLVED INTO AN OASIS OF CALM AND ACCEPTANCE FOR HIM...A FRIENDLY, SAFE HAVEN WHERE HE CONNECTS WITH PEERS AND THERAPISTS WHO ARE KIND AND NURTURING. BRIAN HAS SHOWN US HOW MUSIC IS ANOTHER WAY TO REACH HIM...HEARTSONG MOTIVATES HIM TO BE SPONTANEOUS WITH VARIOUS FORMS OF MUSIC. BRIAN IS NOW 19, AND TO SEE HIM WALK ARM-IN-ARM WITH THE THERAPISTS CONFIRMS THAT HIS HEARTSONG TIES SUSTAIN HIM."PARENT SUPPORTPARENTS DO NOT DROP OFF THEIR CHILDREN FOR THE SATURDAY PROGRAM, BUT STAY AT THE SITES FOR WORKSHOPS AND MUTUAL SUPPORT. CAREGIVERS' CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES LEARNING AND HELPS PARENTS WORK THROUGH THEIR CHILDREN'S VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES AND OTHER CHALLENGES. SPECIFIC TOPICS SUCH AS MANAGING BEHAVIOR, PUBERTY AND STRESS MANAGEMENT HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE PAST.HEARTSTARS FOR SIBLINGSHEARTSTARS IS A PROGRAM IN ITS THIRD YEAR FOR THE SIBLINGS OF HEARTSONG CHILDREN.

| Description | HEARTSONG CURRENTLY PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED AGENCIES IN THE TRI-STATE AREA TO PROVIDE THE BENEFITS OF MUSIC AND/OR ART THERAPY SERVICES TO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. WE HAVE APPROACHED EACH OF THESE PARTNERSHIPS ACKNOWLEDGING IN EACH A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES THAT DEMAND SENSITIVITY AND ACCOMMODATION TO DIFFERENCES OF CULTURE, PROTOCOL, STYLE, AND SOCIAL NORMS. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, HEARTSONG HAS RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR THE AVAILABILITY OF CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY SERVICES BEYOND THE CONFINES OF THE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS WHERE THESE PIONEERING THERAPY MODELS WERE FIRST CONCEIVED AND DEVELOPED SOON AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR. TODAY, WITH THE CLOSING OF MORE LARGE HOSPITALS AND THE "MAINSTREAMING" OF A GREATER NUMBER CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, COMES A GREATER NEED FOR THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO PEOPLE WHERE THEY LIVE, IN THEIR SCHOOLS, AND AT AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS WHERE THEY PLAY. | Description |

THE FEE STRUCTURE ENSURES THAT ALL FAMILIES RECEIVE SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, FROM PARTIAL TO TOTAL AID. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE AID, EACH FAMILY MUST SUBMIT THEIR MOST RECENT INCOME TAX. WE BASE OUR FEES ON THE CLIENTS ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME. FEE SCHEDULE AS BELOW: TIER INCOME YEARLY FEE SEMESTER FEE PER SESSION TIER 1 $0 - $39,999 NO FEE NO FEE NO FEE TIER 2 $40,000-$54,999 $336 $168 $12.00 TIER 3 $55,000-$74,999 $504 $252 $18.00 TIER 4 $75,000-$99,000 $672 $336 $24.00 TIER 5 $100,000-$149,999 $840 $420 $30.00 TIER 6 $150,000-$199,999 $504 $504 $36.00 TIER 7 $200,000 PLUS $1,344 $672 $48.00 WE ESTIMATE THE COST PER CHILD FOR 28 WEEKS OF MUSIC OR ART THERAPY TO BE ABOUT $2,000. BASED ON THE ABOVE SCALE, NO FAMILY PAYS MORE THAN $1,200. IN ORDER TO MONITOR THE USE OF THE FUNDS, THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE AID THE REDUCED FEE RATE.

| ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | HEARTSONG WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1992 BY THE PARENTS OF A CHILD WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AND HAS SERVED MORE THAN 1,200 CHILDREN SINCE ITS INCEPTION. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE CLINICALLY-BASED MUSIC AND ART THERAPY PROGRAMS THAT SEEK TO ENHANCE THE FUNCTIONING LEVEL AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. HEARTSONG SERVES WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AS WELL AS NEIGHBORING COUNTIES AND THE BRONX. CLIENTS SERVED RANGE IN AGE FROM FOUR TO TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE DISABILITIES SUCH AS AUTISM, CEREBRAL PALSY, MENTAL RETARDATION, MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS, AND DOWNS SYNDROME. FIFTY-TWO PERCENT OF THOSE ENROLLED IN HEARTSONG HAVE A DIAGNOSED AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER. HEARTSONG'S INNOVATIVE GROUP FORMAT IMPROVES EACH PARTICIPANT'S SOCIAL SKILLS WHILE REDUCING ISOLATION OFTEN FELT BY THESE CHILDREN. HEARTSONG ALSO SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE UNMET NEEDS OF SEGMENTS WITHIN THE POPULATION IT SERVES. PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN INITIATED OR ARE IN PLANNING STAGES FOR PRE-SCHOOLERS AND ADOLESCENT CLIENTS. THESE INCLUDE "MOMMY AND ME" SESSIONS FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE FIVE, A COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOLHOUSE THEATER IN CROTON, NEW YORK, FOR OLDER ADOLESCENTS AND A PILOT DANCE THERAPY PROJECT WITH THE GRADUATE DANCE PROGRAM OF SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE IN BRONXVILLE. IN 2010, HEARTSONG REALIZED A PARTNERSHIP WITH FAMILY SERVICES OF WESTCHESTER, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING AND SUPPORTING FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGH ALL STAGES OF THE LIFE CYCLE. THIS COLLABORATION ALLOWS HEARTSONG TO INCREASE ITS IMPACT BY ADDING WEEKDAY SESSIONS AND ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF TEENS THAT "AGE OUT" OF ITS CORE SERVICES. NOW FAMILIES CAN FIND THE MULTIPLE SERVICES THEY NEED IN ONE, SHARED LOCATION. |

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A | THE SALARY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD AT HER HIRE DATE IN FEBRUARY 2008.

IN HER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT IT STATES THAT THERE COULD BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A BONUS PAID BASED ON PERFORMANCE, BUT IT WAS DEPENDENT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE ORGANIZATION AT THAT TIME. IN NOVEMBER 2010, THE BOARD VOTED TO AWARD THE DIRECTOR A BONUS OF $10,000 BASED ON HER PERFORMANCE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CONSULTED WITH THE ADVISORY BOARD ON INCENTIVE BONUSES FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED OTHER FORM 990'S FROM SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMPENSATION STUDIES DONE BY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS (SUCH AS CHARITY NAVIGATOR, GUIDESTAR, ETC). BASED ON THE BOARD'S REVIEW, THE BOARD APPROVED A BONUS OF $10,000 IN ADDITION TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S ANNUAL SALARY. THE APPROVAL WAS DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. AT THE SUBSEQUENT BOARD MEETING, THE BONUS RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE TO THE FULL BOARD BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. IT WAS APPROVED AND DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES TO THAT BOARD MEETING. | |
