A Day in the LifeC O T T I N G S C H O O L A N N U A L R E P O R T

From the moment Cotting students awaken to

the moment they fall asleep, daily life requires planning, determination, hard work, and a really good

sense of humor. Willingly, our students travel long distances and work diligently to get the education

they need to become independent – and look forward to it every single day. Many even stay late for

after-school classes and activities with their friends, and entire families think nothing of making the

trip to Cotting for games and other events. Cotting students meet each long day with anticipation and

enthusiasm, even though the activities that get them through the day – getting out of bed, brushing

their teeth, doing math problems, writing a paragraph, eating lunch in the school cafeteria, playing

soccer after school, and taking the bus home – can be complicated and time-consuming.

Join us for a glimpse into the daily lives of our students and the moments before, during, and after the

school day. We hope you will be inspired by their stories!

To the Cotting School CommunityStudents continue to invigorate all of us in the Cotting

community, challenging us to keep up with them every day.

Because they are the center of our school, we benefit from their

excitement at overcoming obstacles and meeting goals. They

drive us to do our best as well, and to meet their challenges.

This year we opened the new Lucy and “Hooks” Burr Fitness Center, which has cutting edge equipment and exponentially increased students’ options for therapies and physical activity. It is used during the school day by students overseen by our skilled therapists. After school, the Fitness Center is available for older students to learn how to work out at a gym as part of their training for transition after Cotting. Our inaugural Challenger Little League (60 participants) met on Saturdays in the spring on artificial turf Connelly Field. A soccer league kept 50 students active on Saturday mornings in the fall.

We have been moving forward on other fronts, too. Each summer, The Augustus Thorndike Fellowship, which was named for one of Cotting’s co-founders, provides an exciting opportunity for one staff member in the summer. The Thorndike Fellowship funds research, travel-study, or even a summer sabbatical, and recognizes the tremendous value of each individual who works at Cotting School. The initial recipient, teacher Laura Newton, spent the summer of 2010 researching a comprehensive, thoughtful resource of locations for our community inclusion curriculum.

We achieved other important milestones in 2010. First, we hired a second Cotting Fellow, growing this initiative to enable Cotting to train vibrant teachers who will enhance the entire field of special education. Second, a generous bequest from the estate of Louise H. Marr, who taught here for over forty years and greatly improved the lives of her students, has endowed The Louise H. Marr Auditorium and Performing Arts Center.

Third, this past October we installed a plaque at 241 St. Botolph Street, Boston, to commemorate Cotting’s presence there from 1904-1988. This was made possible by the kindness of the New England Conservatory, which now owns the building.

We are always aware that we could not begin each day without the generosity of our donors. Your partnership with us enables students with special needs to achieve their highest learning potential and level of independence. Thank you sincerely for your commitment to our exceptional students, whose hard work and achievements awe and inspire us.

It’s time to get started!

Before he leaves the house at 6:45, Sam watches the news as he eats breakfast. Since coming to Cotting, world news and current events

interest him greatly. Within six months here, he learned how to write his name, one of his IEP goals for the last eight years. He has achieved

new physical therapy goals as well. To prepare for his Bar Mitzvah, Sam practiced breath control and articulation with his Cotting Communication Therapist. “He

was phenomenal!” his mother, Hilory, exults. “He impressed everyone.”

Sam has a long commute, but he knows exactly what he wants in a school. After his initial Cotting tour, he told his mother, “These are my people. Why have you been keeping them from me?” Hilory, comments, “The people at Cotting get it. For the first time we feel we can go from ‘intense assertive’ to ‘intense support,’ and not come in wearing armor.”

Sam’s father, Glenn, adds, “We are so proud of the work Sam does and know he’s working really hard. It has been a transition. We are getting used to the ultimate trust we place in Cotting every day. We are never made to feel inadequate, and we’ve never raised an issue that’s too small for Cotting’s concern. Everything is handled with such grace.”

There isalways timefor a goodbook.

I found Cotting on the Department of Education’s web site,” recalls Catherine Del Bene. “I walked in and knew immediately this

was the place for my daughter, Meagan. She’s a very social girl so I was not concerned about that. I worried that she’d learn life skills

such as how to write a check.”

Meagan had not learned to read in grades Kindergarten through second grade. She entered Cotting at age seven. Catherine remembers, “Within the first three weeks of school, she started reading short sentences and was so proud of herself!” Further improvement followed in both her reading and writing.

Meagan had been able to write “a little bit but not a lot. That followed the reading,” Catherine says. “The math skills came after reading and writing. Everything blossomed so much in the first year in both social and academic realms.” A visual learner, Meagan responds well to writing with an AlphaSmart, a small digital keyboard that enables her to compose one paragraph at a time. “She also loves when she does a good job,” Catherine relates.

“Her self esteem and self confidence are coming back as she stays at Cotting. I cannot say enough about this place. Finally, I feel like I’m at home; it’s unbelievable!” Catherine exults, “And the staff—where do they find these people? It amazes me. It’s not like one or two stand out; it’s everybody!”

“Her self esteem and self confidence are coming back as she stays at Cotting. I cannot say enough about this place. It’s unbelievable!”

Time well spent.

Before we came to Cotting we could see how much potential David had,” says his mother, Margaret.

“He arrived at Cotting with virtually no math skills and a language disorder. Now he’s chatting day and night. His

language and sentence structure are far better. He understands more of what is being read; he can put more ideas together now.

David’s ability to converse has dramatically changed, and he answers others right away. His teacher has a plan; she knows exactly what she is doing, and his therapists are impressive.”

Margaret enumerates further changes, “Now David will look at his math homework and say, ‘I can do this by myself,’ and he beams with pride when he sees the results. Cotting’s smaller class size has helped; he likes routine and his schedule. This summer he participated in a play, which helped to increase his self awareness and self esteem.”

His father, Bill, notices that “The changes that David has exhibited are nothing short of phenomenal. He’s flourishing now. He has confidence in himself and in his surroundings. Previously, he was afraid of being shoved by other students and he withdrew, but that is not his personality. At Cotting, he is much more comfortable around students his own age, and he is making friends. Even when he’s outside Cotting, he is more confident when he interacts with people.”

“The changes that David has exhibited are nothing short of phenomenal. He’s flourishing now. He has confidence in himself and in his surroundings. ”

Right on schedule.

Dually enrolled at both Cotting and Middlesex Community College in Bedford, cousins Mike and Vinny are making the transition to

community college learning. “I was nervous this fall,” Mike recalls, “but Cotting told me I am capable, helped me plan, taught me how to research

online, and how to arrange transportation. We’ve been taking a writing class twice a week, which has been a challenging work load. I’m eager to do more

community college next year.”

Mike’s father, Tony DiCiero, attributes his progress to “so many caring people at Cotting who have encouraged Mike’s confidence. Two summer independent living classes helped him realize he can do way more than he thought he could.” Mike’s mother, Cheryl, recalls that “before Cotting, we only heard about what Mike could not do. Since we walked through Cotting’s doors, we have heard nothing but what Mike can do.” Tony continues, “It’s like a great partnership and the beneficiary has been Michael. The sports, the individualized instruction, just learning how to make phone calls: we could never have done this alone.”

Vinny adds, “Dual enrollment has not been too hard; I have learned to organize my thoughts better and to advocate for myself more. Next term I am taking Introduction to Video Games, since I want to learn how to design them. It’s harder than it sounds.”

Vinny’s mother, Suzanne DiCiero, feels “Cotting accommodated him above and beyond my expectations. Cotting has prepped him for this next step, which is exactly where he wants to be.”

“Before Cotting, we only heard about what Mike could not do. Since we walked through Cotting’s doors, we have heard nothing but what Mike can do.” ~ Cheryl DiCiero

What does a hungry guy do at lunchtime?

“I have become so much more independent here. I have transitioned from having an aide do everything for me to doing everything for myself.”

~ Guy Martineau

In his nine years at Cotting, Guy’s entire focus has been on becoming independent. Now a member of the Transition Class, Guy gets what he

needs, makes his lunch, and does chores in the classroom. One Friday he might clean the bathroom; another he might do laundry, wipe down tables

and counters, or feed the fish.

Each Transition student brings home a checklist of three different chores to do. Guy’s twice weekly Project Bridges job is working at Epicurean Feast in Maynard where he portions out fruit and assembles plastic ware. In the past his other employers have included: the Waltham Police; T.J. Maxx; Seasons Four; L.L. Bean; Lahey Clinic; and Petco. He now has a varied, substantive resume.

Guy admits, “Math is a challenge, but I use a calculator to balance my checking account when I pay for my cell phone. I have become so much more independent here. I have transitioned from having an aide do everything for me to doing everything for myself.” Luckily, many of the activities Guy enjoys will continue when he leaves; he can still bowl, play soccer, basketball, and baseball with the Cotting community after he turns 22 in May.

His mother, Isabel, adds, “Once Guy started at Cotting, I knew I didn’t have to worry. I knew he was in good hands and making progress. I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel with Guy at Cotting. He has experienced growth and skill development that he probably would not have made elsewhere.”

Time flies for this girl on the go!

Sara is one of several students at Cotting who use eyegaze software to communicate. Her eyes read the text and then “dwell” for a few

seconds on an icon, long enough for the computer program to “click.” Her eyes move to the next word. “Sara has come a long way in communication since she came to Cotting,” says her mother, Amy Young. “At Cotting the full-team approach with the individual student at the center and each student doing something different within a class, works for her. Sara has always been a strong reader; at Cotting she has doubled her English score on the MCAS and is working on math, which is harder for her.”

Amy continues, “A nice side benefit is that Sara has developed a greater sense of who she is and what she can do. She has never felt different at Cotting because she is always supported.”

Amy notes that Cotting’s attitude is, “we’ll figure out how to let Sara do the work herself.” For example, after her first art class, Sara’s Occupational Therapist took casting material and made a slide for her foot with a brush. Amy was delighted; “It was so easy to do and he did it straightaway. Sara feels it’s her project; it’s not the teacher doing the work. There’s no micromanaging here. Sara makes all her own decisions. She knows if something is not working, she needs to speak up using her device.”

Amy is amazed at how “it feels like one equal community even though students’ levels and abilities are so different. That’s what makes Cotting School. Other programs make a mold and fit the students to the mold. Cotting takes a diverse group and makes them feel united. It’s a whole different level of support.”

Time to feed the chickens, Kaila!

“We live in Plymouth. Many people have asked me, ‘Why do you send Kaila on such a long commute?’ Basically, it’s because there is no other school like this.”

~ Meredith MacLeod

Kaila started Cotting at age ten, and she was still not reading and writing. “She has blossomed here!” her mother, Meredith, delightedly

laughs. “Kaila now loves to read and use the internet. She’s having fun while she’s learning. Kaila loves school and doesn’t want to miss a day.”

“We live in Plymouth,” Meredith continues. “Many people have asked me, ‘why do you send Kaila on such a long commute?’ Basically, it’s because there is no other school like this. People at Cotting know how to give her what she needs without fuss or fanfare. Kaila wouldn’t have it any other way because she gets so much there.”

She adds, “Cotting does it all. There’s a continuum of support for parents and family as well as the student. There is acceptance among all her friends in the greater Cotting family. Kaila is thrilled that she can leave mom behind and be on her own. She feels empowered that she controls her life and her day. At school the whole point is to be a useful member of society. It’s the Cotting attitude.”

“Kaila gets the social part of life at school. She attends Circle of Friends, a social outing group, on Fridays, which makes up for her commute. She’s not missing out; she is still doing all the things her peers do. They go shopping, eat at the mall food court, catch a movie, people watch and are part of a group, which is so important to teenagers. Kaila is making friends she will take with her after she finishes Cotting.”

Quality Time.

“I am able to function at work and travel wherever I need to internationally because the people at Cotting will make sure that Nikita is fine. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found Cotting.”

~ Preeti Sayana

It is the end of the day and Nikita is home with her family to do homework, have dinner and enjoy some quiet moments

with her mother to close out the evening. They are a busy blended family. An Equity Analyst, Preeti Sayana puts in a full

day at the office and returns to cook dinner for her children and husband. She never stops running, but the reason she can keep going, she says,

is because Nikita is safe at Cotting.

“I was concerned about safety issues,” Preeti says, “and social pressure. At Cotting Nikita is watched at all times and she feels no pressure to conform to any mold or ideal. She can be herself. She is so happy there! She particularly enjoys the after-school programs in sports and karaoke.” Nikita is “super smart in math,” Preeti apprises, but “what is more relevant for her is to work on skills for independence.” Since coming to Cotting two years ago, Nikita is more independent and more confident, her mother reports. Now, her personal self-help skills come more readily, without prompting, than before.

Preeti enthuses, “I am able to function at work and travel wherever I need to, even internationally, because the people at Cotting will make sure that Nikita is fine. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found Cotting. It is small and manageable, with every resource Nikita could need. And the staff is amazing!” she concludes.

Here’s Where You Come In! Help us grow this percentage!

Each year we strive to steward philanthropic gifts prudently in order to better serve our students. In 2010 Cotting spent resources with particular care. One example, our efforts to “go green” resulted in a savings of $40,000 in

electrical and heating costs. We are taking additional “green” measures to demonstrate further our commitment to this endeavor. This translates to more efficient buildings and more funds for use in the classroom.

Treasurer’s Report

Charles T. Haydock, Vice Chairman and Treasurer

Since its founding in 1893, bequests, large and small, by former students, staff, trustees and friends, have provided long term financial stability for Cotting School.

241 St. Botolph Street, BostonCommemorating the presence of Cotting School from 1904 to 1988 at 241 St. Botolph Street, now the home of the New England Conservatory (NEC), alumni, staff, former staff, and trustees gathered in October for a small ceremony to celebrate the installation of a plaque on a pillar outside the building. Welcomed by NEC Chief Financial Officer, Edward Lesser, and hosted by Cotting President, David Manzo, guests heard a brief history of the school and heard reminiscences from alumni Margaret Sugrue-Temple (1951) and Jim Tanner (1970), and former Superintendent Carl Mores. Members of the original founders’ families attended the ceremony, and the NEC’s Panama Jazz Festival Ensemble entertained guests. Descendants of Cotting’s visionary co-founders, Dr. Edward H. Bradford and Dr. Augustus Thorndike, gathered to honor their grandfathers. Brad Perry, great-nephew of Cotting’s first teacher and Superintendent, Mary Perry, attended as well.

“Hooks” Burr Fitness Center To honor the memory of Francis “Hooks” Burr, a longstanding trustee and staunch supporter of Cotting School, his widow, Lucy, endowed a Fitness Center in both their names. Students work with therapists and athletic staff to increase strength and flexibility both during and after school. Together with year-old Connelly Field, the Burr Fitness Center complements our adaptive physical education program with cutting edge equipment in a pristine environment.

Wings of HopeAfter the Earthquake

by David Manzo

In 34 seconds, on January 12, 2010, an earthquake struck Haiti, killing 230,000, injuring 300,000, and leaving 1 million people homeless. Wings of Hope, Cotting’s sister school in Fermathe, was destroyed. Miraculously, no one was killed. Once communication was reestablished, Cotting rallied to help Wings. Our extended community provided emotional support, gathered supplies, and raised funds for rebuilding. Twice each year, ten Cotting staff volunteer vacation time to work in Haiti. Each summer, five Haitians come to Cotting School to train. Cotting and Wings students share ideas, stories, photos, and their cultures with each other via e-mail.

Today the children at Wings live in temporary quarters until funds can be raised to build a new school and home. New facilities need to be constructed as soon as possible as the temporary quarters are safe but overcrowded and highly inadequate. Wings of Hope is a small, effective, focused, mission-driven, and caring school for 38 children with severe special needs. When rebuilt, it will be the model facility for children with special needs in the new Haiti. While it is nearly impossible to find an encouraging word about Haiti in the U.S. press, our staff have found plenty to celebrate in the spirit of Wings of Hope.

The entire Wings of Hope Community and Cotting School volunteers in June 2010, wearing tee shirts that read, “Cotting School Falcons Have Wings of Hope.”

Given annually, The Augustus Thorndike Fellowship recognizes a member of the faculty or staff of Cotting School who exemplifies excellence in service to children with special needs.

While the fellowship recognizes the extraordinary work of a particular member of the Cotting School staff each year, it simultaneously acknowledges the thoughtful, dedicated efforts of the staff as a whole. This award honors the multi-generational commitment of the Thorndike Family, beginning with the co-founding of the school by Dr. Augustus Thorndike in 1893, and continuing generation after generation to the present.
