PERKINS2016 ANNUAL REPORT

The mission of Perkins is to continue a tradition of leadership and innovation in providing a range of educational programs and human services to meet family and community needs and enhance human development. Our unique strengths-based approach provides the tools for children, adolescents, adults, and families to lead full and enriched lives.

Dear Friends:

Founded in 1896 and celebrating our one hundred and twentieth anniversary this year, Perkins is the model of stability and sustainability. However, in a rapidly changing world with increasingly scarce resources, we recognize that to continue our leadership as an innovative provider of quality services, we must be intentional about how we plan and work. Further, the education and well-being of people with mental health and learning challenges has evolved and become increasingly complex, requiring innovative approaches that leverage technology and our talented staff members to improve each individual’s quality of life.

We are committed to an approach that fosters best practices and that facilitates the health and well-being of everyone in the Perkins community. Our motivation is a collective and deep-rooted commitment to help children, adolescents, adults and families to be as healthy, happy and successful as possible. To that end, we continuously look to address new and increasingly complex needs by developing programs and services that make a meaningful impact on the lives of the people we serve. We don’t just develop new ideas, we make ideas come to life, making a difference – both today and for years and generations to come.

This annual report provides an overview of how our agency innovates and makes a difference. It also talks about our careful planning for the future with the success of our clients in mind. At the center of all that we do is our focus on the children, adolescents and families we serve.

Sincerely yours,

Michael W. Ames, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer

Charles W. Hughes II President, Board of Trustees

1 2016 Perkins Annual Report

innovationInnovation at Perkins comes from many places. Staff are encouraged to share, test and implement new ideas inclusive of evidence-based best practices.

Featured here are some examples of how we innovate and how those innovations help people of all ages and abilities find success.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOMPerkins’ students learn in unconventional ways and require innovative and creative approaches to education. To address each student’s unique needs, we provide opportunities for them to learn outside the classroom, taking advantage of our campus and the broader community.

2016 Perkins Annual Report 2

innovationLiteracy Connections. Reading and writing can be a major source of anxiety and frustration for our students. Typically, language arts is taught in a classroom with insight and guidance from a teacher. Literacy Connections takes students out of the classroom for one hour each week and provides a hands-on, interactive experience between students and animals at our barn. By adding a horse, a sheep, or a rabbit to the writing process, the floodgates of students’ minds open and the words pour out, helping to build confidence and skills.

“Students are finding their voice and are creating clear, powerful sentiments. The animals truly help students bring stories to life!”

Heather Donovan, Rein in a Dream Instructor


Across the United States, 150,000 to 200,000 individuals age out of special education each year and find themselves without the support or skills necessary to succeed as adults. At Perkins, we actively work with students to ensure they are prepared for and have confidence relative to their future.

• An on-going collaborative effort with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provides students the opportunity to visit the university and tour Cambridge-area technology companies. The experience of visiting companies and listening to professors speak on subjects ranging from medicine to sustainability helps our students look beyond Perkins and think about their interests and career options.

• Our juniors and seniors visited local community colleges in Spring, 2016. These college visits validate student’s potential and generate enthusiasm about completing high school and continuing their education.

• Building Educational Success Through Transitions (BESTT) helps prepare students for independence after leaving Perkins. Beginning in 9th grade, students receive coaching and support, pairing their individual strengths with potential career paths. Job placements in several industries such as child care, landscaping, food services and hospitality are provided to support the acquisition of employment skills.

opening doors to the future


EXPANDING ADULT HORIZONS An important objective of our adult programs is to help men and women with developmental disabilities to realize their personal aspirations and goals.

Whether it’s securing a job or moving into an apartment, we assist in creative ways to help build the lifestyle that works best and is most gratifying.

Vocational Services are an integral piece of our adult day programming. Utilizing opportunities on our campus and in our community, we are able to offer a variety of work opportunities that meet each participant’s unique needs. Adults can start by working on our campus where there is a job for every interest and ability in a safe and structured setting. As individuals gain skills and confidence they can move on to community-based work sites.

Supportive Living at the Barlow Center in Clinton offers the independence of living in a fully-appointed apartment. This important program provides a continuum of options, ranging from intensive supports to complete independence.

Finding Personal Fulfillment, Matt and Scott The annual awards banquet for Perkins Adult Services offered a glimpse into why this program is so highly regarded. When the June awards ceremony began amongst an audience of family, long-time friends and staff, the biggest cheers and loudest applause went to recipients of the award for Most Increased Independence. This shared award was bestowed upon roommates Matt and Scott. Until recently, Matt and Scott had lived semi-independently in an apartment at the Barlow Center in Clinton. Staff worked with them to help build their self-sufficiency and create a streamlined and tidy lifestyle so that they were able to move to an independent living arrangement. The single-family home where they now reside offers them a level of autonomy – including shopping, meal preparation and yardwork – that they were not able to experience before and that they now relish.

opening doors to the future

This year marked new highs in the number of individuals served across all of our programs. The greatest growth occurred in adult services and at our child development center. The vocational program, which enrolled 48 adults at the beginning of the year has grown substantially and is expected to reach 70 participants by January, 2017 – a growth rate of almost 50 percent. The academic arm of the agency, Doctor Franklin Perkins School, saw a significant rise in enrollment this year, serving almost 200 youth.

Academic Achievement. We take great pride in helping our students build their self-confidence, and we love to watch them blossom. In many instances, students come to Perkins feeling like they have failed because they didn’t fit into their home school district. Innovative programming, combined with the right balance of individualized education and support, nurtures students’ interest in school and their enthusiasm to learn.

• 100% of Grade 10 students passed the 2016 English Language Arts component of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) test; 85% passed the science component; and 75% passed mathematics.

• Twelve seniors proudly stepped across the stage in June to receive hard-earned diplomas and graduated into promising futures.

• One hundred and thirteen students were promoted to the next grade level at Perkins; eight students stepped down from residential programming to day programming; two students transitioned back to their home school district.

• Student achievement goes beyond simple academic markers such as MCAS, graduation and grade completion; achievement is also demonstrated by gains in well-being and sense of self.


ADULT OUTCOMES It is inspiring to see our adult program participants grow. Individual growth is fostered through personal care, cultivation of friendships and the development of vocational skills. Individuals feel pride and experience new levels of confidence when they advance beyond perceived boundaries.

Well-being. Participants in our adult programs enjoy rich and full lives through varied activities, including volunteer work, employment, travel and hobbies. In 2016, Perkins opened a craft shop. Adult crafters are thrilled to have this space where they proudly sell their hand-made creations.

Friendship. Owing to the enduring nature of our adult programming, participants forged strong, life-long friendships and a social network that is truly remarkable. Spending time together and being there for each other offers comfort and life satisfaction to our adult clients that is joyful. This close-knit group of men and women celebrate friendship that is rare and beautiful to see.

Finding Personal Fulfillment, Aidan While a student at Perkins, Aidan participated in crucial work-based learning opportunities, honed his interests, and gained knowledge and specific skills through the BESTT program. The industrious young man is now employed as a valuable member of the Perkins grounds crew. Continuing to expand his horizons, Aidan also works with a local surveyor and maintains his own plot at the Clinton Community Garden. With help from Perkins, Aidan has built a strong work foundation and is armed to make sound life decisions that balance meaningful employment and recreation pursuits.

“In the two years Aidan was on campus as a residential student, I was consistently impressed by the level of professionalism and genuine care and concern exhibited by all the staff.” Martha McCarthy, mother


Community Reach. Our Child Development Center (CDC), therapeutic riding program (Rein in a Dream), and Behavioral Health Clinic address many different community needs.

• Celebrating its eight-year anniversary in 2016, the Perkins Child Development Center (CDC) continues to provide quality care and early education to many community children.

• Our therapeutic horsemanship center, Rein in a Dream (RIAD), offers an array of animal- assisted therapy programs for people of all ages and abilities. Children and adults benefit from the calming influence that comes from interacting with animals through horseback riding, grooming, and learning about animal care and behavior.

• Licensed therapists at Perkins Behavioral Health work with children and adults to address mental health challenges, work towards personal goals, build self-confidence and overall well-being. Through partnerships with several area schools, we facilitate the access of mental health services for our local students.


sustainabilityEnsuring sustainability and that we continue to evolve requires a clear framework and planning. In 2016 Perkins took several steps to ensure our continued sustainability and excellence.

Performance Management. Perkins adopted the Performance Imperative (PI) framework for organizational excellence, inclusive of the annual setting and review of goals. Goals and objectives are established by division and for the agency, monthly review of those goals takes place, successes are celebrated, areas of need are addressed and, as needed, course corrections are established. The Performance Imperative framework for organizational excellence, together with a thoughtful goal setting and review process, helps us ensure our agency’s continued positive impact, relevance and longevity, not only for the next year, but for many decades to come.


Saving Energy, Using the Sun. Consisting of 354 SunPower 327-watt panels covering most of the 236’, south-facing roof of the Janeway Center, our new solar installation (completed in September, 2016) will save us an average of $25,000 per year for the next 20 years. Further, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is the equivalent of taking 22 cars off the road for a year or the carbon absorption of more than 87 acres of trees. This translates into a healthier environment for this generation and for all posterity. Together with a community solar project for which Perkins will be the primary beneficiary, Perkins will soon be utilizing solar energy to address 90 percent of our annual electrical needs.

In addition to our solar pursuits, we have further reduced our environmental impact by converting the majority of our lighting to LED bulbs, reducing our electricity usage by ten percent.

“Perkins has always been an innovator in educating children, and they have upheld a commitment to their students’ well-being. Now, they are taking that commitment a step further by using clean energy to ensure their students will have natural resources for generations to come.”
