We do this by reimagining how care and support can be better connected to fill gaps in human services across an individual's lifespan. false false 9731969 8715969 Autism Services: In 2022, our Autism (ABA) program served more than 850 children and families per month, on average, and we began offering in-person services again when it is deemed medically necessary. Our ABA program offers Parent-Led ABA, individual and group ABA, and Social Skills Groups. Parent-Led ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a methodology that targets intensive parent engagement and implementation for a determined period of time, followed by a less intensive maintenance period. Just like 1:1 ABA, Parent-Led ABA is overseen by highly trained experts in ABA and a Clinical Manager/BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst); this supervision team ensures that goals are achievable, conducts ongoing reassessments, provides guidance and support to the parent and reports progress to the funding source. The goal of Parent-Led ABA is to give parents the tools to support and teach their child using basic ABA skills. By eliminating the need for scheduled sessions with an outside practitioner, families have more flexibility to engage in everyday activities. Parents are encouraged to set aside time to work directly with their child, however, the goals can also be targeted across everyday routines and activities since the parent is already familiar with the child's goals. Our 1:1 and group ABA services focus on meaningful changes in behavior through the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of social and other environmental modifications. Applied Behavior Analysis will help an individual in many ways - increase skills in communication, social interactions, and self-reliance; improve ability to focus on tasks with instruction; increase motivation to perform; and decrease problem behaviors, such as self-injury or outbursts. We offer center-based and in-home ABA services and our services can be provided at a clinic, in a client's home or in the community depending on the needs of the client. We use a formal assessment methodology to guide the development of a client's behavior program. This assessment occurs before treatment begins and is ongoing throughout the client's program to determine treatment effectiveness and whether the client's goals are being met. Clients receive an individualized treatment plan developed by our Licensed Behavior Analysts. The treatment plan is based off the initial ABA assessment and ongoing reassessments throughout the term of the plan. Data on a client's skill acquisition and behavior is recorded and analyzed regularly. The goal is to help clients work on skills that will help them become more independent and live a happy and fulfilling life. Our Social Skills Groups focus on teaching and reinforcing social skills development through structured social skill-building activities. Skills are grouped by age (i.e., 0-4, 5-12, etc.) and the group sessions teach and reinforce skills like dealing with feelings, friendship making skills, alternatives to aggression, planning skills, self-regulation, etc. 2374302 2472446 Early Intervention (EI): In 2022, our Early Intervention (EI) program served 500 children and families per month, on average, and we expanded our Early Start Training Program (ESTP) to the Golden Gate Regional Center (GGRC) catchment area which has increased referrals by 400% in that area in just 5 months! Our ESTP educates families and members of the community, in both English and Spanish, about our organization and the Early Start services we provide clients and families. Our target audiences include, but are not limited to teachers, daycares, other non-profits in the community, parents and providers in the San Francisco County and GGRC catchment area. We provide educational materials and a presentation that reviews age-appropriate milestones, identifies red flags, and how to navigate the referral process when a child is not directly referred by their primary care or mental health provider. Our EI program offers a comprehensive, research-based program for children from birth to 5 years of age who are diagnosed with a developmental delay or who may be considered at risk of delay. We use a routine-based and family-guided intervention model to structure and guide our pedagogy and overall philosophy. We believe parents and families are the most essential component of a child's life and development and we therefore work alongside the family to provide individualized treatment to our clients as a team. Our program is individualized to meet the unique needs of each child and family using advanced research and evidence-based developmental practices to provide a high quality level of intervention. The program addresses the child's overall development, including receptive and expressive language, cognitive, fine and gross motor, social-emotional, self-help skills, and family goals. The Early Interventionists collaborate with parents and Regional Center staff to address the child's unique developmental needs and create an individualized plan to meet their objectives. Based on individual assessments, children enrolled in the program may be eligible for services including home-based intervention, social play groups, parent education and coaching, and collaborative consultation with schools, childcare agencies, clinics and other service providers. Developmental assessments and monitoring are ongoing throughout the program. Every six months, a progress report is submitted to the Regional Center to track the child's progress in therapy. The frequency and types of services a child receives are based on the child's and family's needs. Services are provided in the child's natural environment, including the child's home or in the community. The goal of our EI program is to support parents and families in the development of a rich, nurturing environment as well as the development of dyadic relationships between child and parent/caregiver. 1167406 822227 Kaleidoscope Community Adult Program: In 2022, our Adult program served 39 adults and families. We offer services at two locations in Northern California - Dublin and Walnut Creek. Our services help adults integrate into the community and include employment readiness and development, independent living skills, community inclusion, socialization and many other beneficial activities. Participants work with Life Skills Coaches who help them pursue interests by helping them define their goals and become as independent as possible. Interest-based programming offered include Community Access, Recreation & Leisure, Physical Fitness, Pre-Employment, Volunteering, and Life Skills. For many adults with a disability, finding a job is a critical first step toward self-determination and financial independence. Through Kaleidoscope's employment planning services, coaches help participants with career exploration and development, employment opportunities within their communities, and skills, education & training needed to meet employment goals. The program aims to increase our participants' ability to care for themselves, self-advocate, improve the quality of life for themselves and their families, reach their employment goals, gain greater integration into their community and achieve more independence in their lives. 109881 12619 Respite Program (description on sch O) 109881 12619 13383558 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 0 0 175 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false true true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X THE ORGANIZATION 9252668450 2730 SHADELANDS DRIVE BLDG 10 Walnut Creek CA 94598 Andrea Pettiford Secretary & CEO 10.0 30.0 X 0 380312 18746 Kalina Hatzell Regional Director 40.0 0.0 X 133509 0 22503 Christine Gomez Director, Early Intervention 40.0 0.0 X 126506 0 18856 Angela Button Regional Director 40.0 0.0 X 134817 0 5318 Melanie Hamilton Autism Services Specialist 40.0 0.0 X 107617 0 1614 SHELDON ORLOFF CHAIRPERSON 1.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 KIM DONELLAN VICE CHAIRPERSON 1.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 DAVID DURHAM DIRECTOR 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW PEAKE Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Frances Allen Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 502449 380312 67037 4 false true false 0 1500000 481774 489822 2471596 HEALTH CARE SERVICE 624310 8715969 8715969 EARLY INTERVENTION 624310 2472446 2472446 ADULT & OTHER HEALTH CARE 624310 822227 822227 OTHERS (RESPITE) 624310 12619 12619 12023261 113313 113313 0 0 0 0 0 58142 50991 7151 7151 7151 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14615321 12023261 120464 0 0 0 0 0 0 8926475 8926475 101970 101970 1224161 1224161 716194 716194 0 0 28364 28364 0 0 8152 8152 31040 31040 0 17570 17570 427861 427861 0 295177 295177 136736 136736 0 0 0 0 174064 174064 76543 76543 PROGRAM OPERATING COSTS 72918 72918 LICENSES AND FEES 58805 58805 INTERCO IT & ADMIN SUPPORT 1072001 1072001 STAFF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT 13755 13755 1772 1772 13383558 13383558 0 0 594820 91333 0 0 34200 22833 288965 401874 3713 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 282879 187816 48693 95063 2963482 2505435 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3933873 3116538 875157 1440141 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8511480 6426402 9386637 7866543 X -5581810 -4970687 129046 220682 -5452764 -4750005 3933873 3116538 X 1231763 -557618 28614 X false true X true true true X 0 131202 1713289 1955732 2471596 6271819 13021761 7575517 8987757 12023262 41608297 0 0 0 0 13152963 9288806 10943489 14494858 47880116 0 0 0 47880116 124951 147539 120464 392954 0 124951 147539 120464 392954 0 0 0 13152963 9413757 11091028 14615322 48273070 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 282879 187816 95063 95063 0 DUE TO CATALIGHT 6426402 6426402 X Part X - FASB ASC 740 Footnote PART X, LINE 2: ESNORCAL HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT IT QUALIFIES FOR THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND SECTION 27301(D) OF THE CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE, RESPECTIVELY.
