See Beyond
The Overbrook School for the Blind story has always been one of students,
staff and the school itself being confronted with challenges and everyone
rising to overcome them. At OSB, we aim high. We see beyond the
challenges, and instead, see the hope and promise of every student.
Throughout this 2013–2014 report, you will see how our innovative
teachers, individualized programs and unique partnerships together create a
powerful vision for success. By seeing beyond any obstacle to learning, we
educate and motivate each student toward their goal of becoming as
independent as possible.
It’s our life’s work. We help our students to fully comprehend their value
and set a course for their life’s purpose…wherever that path may lead.

DEAR FRIENDS:
It is our pleasure to present you with the Overbrook School for the Blind
2013-2014 Annual Report. This year’s theme, “See Beyond,” was chosen to
represent our entire school community’s efforts to look beyond any obstacle
to create an environment where each of our students can discover, learn from
others, and experience personal success.
Because our students are all legally blind and many have
additional complex conditions, their educational needs are very different
from elementary and secondary school students. At OSB, each pupil has an
individualized educational plan. Each student benefits from the specialized
instruction given by our teachers, all of whom have been specifically trained
to teach the visually impaired. They also gain from support services such as
occupational, physical, speech and language therapy, and orientation and
mobility training. Friendships within the school provide encouragement and
additional support.
Overbrook School for the Blind serves hundreds of students on campus, in
the region and internationally, and each one of these children and young
adults is a success story in the making. As indicated in our mission
statement, each of these students deserves every chance to reach his or her
fullest potential.
In these pages, we look back on the past twelve months and express our
appreciation and gratitude for all the success stories that our supporters have
helped make possible. In addition to looking back, we are looking forward to
“Seeing Beyond”. Maintaining and improving our extraordinary facilities are
essential for a solid foundation on which to build future initiatives. Those of
you who have been on campus recently can’t help but notice multiple areas
of construction, including multi-year project to repair much of the exterior of
the main building. The latter includes new tile roofing, new gutters and
flashing, and new stucco in both cloisters.
The Board and staff are actively involved in creating a five year strategic
plan that will anticipate our students’ needs in a changing environment and
the types of resources needed to continue to provide exemplary education
and support services. We will establish specific goals and objectives driven
by our strong tradition of excellence and compassion.
We are confident that we, the Overbrook School for the Blind community,
will continue to build futures as we work with our students to help them See
Beyond.

Rick Wheeler sitting together at a conference table.]
Highlights from the 2013-2014 School Year
OCTOBER
Ms. Hongmei Xu, a teacher trainee from OSB’s 1992-1993 International
Program and now the Principal of Shanghai School for the Blind, visited
OSB to gather information on collaborations between the medical
community and special schools, and the latest developments in assistive
technology.

NOVEMBER
OSB students hit the national and international news circuit with a visit to
the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.
Thanks to a unique touch tour of the Museum’s artifacts, our students’
experience was described in articles in The New York Times, and
publications in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, India, Canada, New Zealand,
Australia, the UK and more.
[The photo is of an artifact from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of
Archeology and Anthropology. It is a large lion head.]
DECEMBER
In December, hundreds turned out for the Annual Holiday concert, a
tradition at OSB for over 100 years!
[The photo is of a female student singing at the Holiday Concert.]
JANUARY
The commitment to Professional Development at OSB continued with a
Training Day on CVI or Cortical Visual Impairment, a neurological visual
disorder. Two CVI specialists met with teachers from each program to keep
abreast of the latest CVI research.
[The photo is of a female OSB teacher presenting a lesson in front of her
colleagues in a classroom.]
FEBRUARY
“Beyond These Walls,” the documentary about Overbrook School for the
Blind produced by Villanova University film students, was named an official
finalist at the New Jersey Film Festival.
[The photo is of the logo used in the documentary, “Behind These Walls.”
The background is black and white bricks with the title of the movie in front
of it.]
MARCH
An artist in residency program by the not-for-profit Musicopia made it
possible for two professional Philadelphia musicians — a percussionist and
a vocalist — to work one day a week for seven weeks with students from our
Middle School program. The program concluded with a concert that made
some of our younger students sing and dance
in the aisles.
[The photo is of two male students playing the bongos.]
MAY
OSB hosted more than 100 students from six schools for the blind during the
11th Eastern Schools for the Blind Music Festival. Music Is Our Vision was
the theme, and band, drum circle, bell choir and concert choir musicians
were featured during the Festival’s grand concert. In addition to the musical
performance, the Festival featured an art exhibit that highlighted the artistic
talents and abilities of students from all six schools.
[The photo is of the OSB Choir and its Choir Director standing on risers on
stage after they finished singing a song.]
JUNE
The talented and accomplished Distinguished Alumna Vivian Anderson
Williams, Class of 1967, spoke at the emotional OSB Commencement
ceremony, which highlighted the achievements of the sixteen young men
and women who received their diploma from OSB.
[The photo is of Alumna Vivian Anderson Williams with her right arm in
the air while speaking at the podium during the OSB Commencement
ceremony.]
Individualized Programs
Overbrook School for the Blind students are treated as the very special
people that they are. Class sizes are small, and students receive it.
On any day, Orientation and Mobility specialists can be seen working with
students indoors and out, and beyond the gates that surround our campus
when a student is ready to navigate the immediate neighborhood on foot or
practice traveling by bus. Physical and Occupational therapy, Speech and
Language therapy, Counseling, and Audiology services are available to
assist students to perform at their highest level of ability. Many older
students live in the White Hall on-campus independent living apartments
during the week as part of the transition program that concentrates on adult
life skills.
On campus, the Early Intervention Program’s (EIP) Early Childhood
program welcomes children three to six years of age who are having their
first full time, on campus school experience. We continue to educate
students through the following age-appropriate programs: Elementary,
Middle School, High School, and School to Work. These students benefit
from the expanded core curriculum and also have the opportunity to learn
braille, to access the Internet and master various computer programs, and to
participate in sports, musical performances and the visual arts.
Off campus, the Outreach Community-Based component of the Early
Intervention Program works regionally with families of babies and young
children from birth to three years of age and with three to five year-olds in
Philadelphia. We extend our mission with the OSB International Program
which serves Chinese educators, whose blind and visually impaired students
in China benefit from what their teachers learn with our assistance; and
through ON-NET (Overbrook-Nippon Network on Educational
Technology), our International Program that addresses local and regional
needs related to persons who are
blind or visually impaired in Southeast Asia. Finally, the Overbrook
Friedlander Programs (OFP) provide day and residential programs to adults
with intellectual disabilities and sensory impairments both on and off
campus.

hoodie sitting in front of a screen reader.]
Innovative Teachers
Within all of the specialized programs at Overbrook School for the Blind are
teachers who believe that each child is brimming with potential that has yet
to be fully realized. Helping students develop their potential requires
thoughtful instruction and an unwavering commitment to each child’s
unique learning profile.
Overbrook School for the Blind staffer, Susan Calvecchio, excels in her role
as an Intervener for Aeryn, a student with deafblindness in the Elementary
Program.
A new position created within OSB, an Intervener provides all
communication and access to information for a student with this condition.
Because deafblindness causes profound sensory deprivation, Ms. Calvecchio
provides Aeryn with consistent access to instruction and environmental
information that is usually gained by typical students through vision and
hearing, but that is incomplete to a child who is deaf or blind. Working
under the guidance and direction of Maria Dwyer, Aeryn’s classroom
teacher, who is responsible for ensuring the implementation of Aeryn’s
Individualized Educational Plan, Ms. Calvecchio assists with the
development and use of Aeryn’s receptive and expressive
communication skills, and maintains a trusting, interactive relationship that
can only be developed from a one-to-one relationship.
When Aeryn first started in the Elementary Program at OSB three years ago,
Ms. Calvecchio was communicating with Aeryn by using objects, signals
and pictures, and very little sign language. Today, there is two-way
communication all day between Aeryn and Ms. Calvecchio using pictures,
sign language and beginning braille, with Aeryn’s skills including taking
direction and asking for help when needed.
[There is a photo of a young female student laying down on her stomach on
a piece of physical therapy equipment while a smiling female teacher holds
her.
There is a photo of a smiling female teacher who has her hands placed on
either side of the face of a young female elementary student.]
While working with teenagers at OSB, Speech Therapist Angela Harvey and
OSB School Psychologist Danielle Sychterz both recognized the social
challenges of students with visual impairments and the importance of
explicit social skills instruction. They could also see the value of taking a
collaborative approach to intervention which would provide a greater
opportunity for students to practice target behaviors and develop expressive
language skills at the same time. Together, they formed the Social Skills
Group which meets weekly with OSB Middle School, High School and
School to Work students to sensitively and directly address social issues.
With specific instruction and consistent sensitive feedback in the areas of
eye contact/orienting towards speaker, facial expressions, social distance,
body language, tone of voice, and appropriate behaviors for public and
private settings,
students in the Social Skills Group develop self-awareness skills that will
make the transition into adult life easier. By increasing the level of selfidentity and awareness of other people’s needs, with strategies for positive
interactions, both Ms. Harvey and Ms. Sychterz provide support to help
students form relationships with others and increase social connections and
participation in activities.
The progress of the students within the Social Skills Group, both subtle and
obvious, was measured through three standardized assessments, and more
importantly, through a pre and post assessment completed by both teachers
and parents. Considerable improvement was reported in the areas of selfadvocacy, empathy, listening/conversation skills,
and self-awareness. Many times during the year, teachers recounted hearing
some of the Social Skills Group role-playing exercises being repeated in
conversations amongst the students in the OSB lunchroom, a sure sign of
success.
[There is a photo of a female teacher giving instruction to a middle school
male student who is seated at a table.]
There is a long-standing and beloved tradition of music at Overbrook School
for the Blind, perhaps because we all know how universal music is, in that it
has the capacity to reach all children. When used to empower and evoke
connectedness in young learners with special needs, music is truly
transformative. It can make the difference between withdrawal and
awareness, between isolation and interaction.
In his 28 years teaching music to students at Overbrook School for the
Blind, Bell Choir Director Jim Palmer has witnessed the power music has to
inspire and empower students with all kinds of challenges. When Mr. Palmer
encountered students struggling to learn music and play the hand bells at the
same time, he created his own method for teaching music. It involves adding
lyrics to all the music, and then marking on each student’s lyric sheets when
they ring their individual hand bells. For large print readers, this involves
circling words or parts of words and for braille readers, this involves adding
extra dots below the words where their bells ring. This technique enables all
of our student musicians to develop instincts and initiative to learn handbell
music and a musical instrument. Several students worked diligently in the
classroom to learn Mr. Palmer’s method this year and later performed at the
Eastern Schools for the Blind Music Festival that OSB hosted in the spring.
[There are three photos on this page. In the first photo, a male high school
student is turning around to look back at a smiling female teacher. The
second photo is of Mr. Jim Palmer, Bell Choir Director, holding a hand bell
in each hand. The third photo is of all of the hand bells lying on a long table
that is covered with a red tablecloth.]
Unique Partnerships
We are committed to building partnerships to encourage additional
educational opportunities for our students. Within every program at OSB,
partnerships with outside agencies are created to adopt a shared vision, one
that speaks to our mission to help people with visual impairments to achieve
their highest potential.
This year, Overbrook School for the Blind proudly collaborated with our
region’s school districts and a Charter School to provide students with visual
impairments the vital educational and supplemental services they need to
become successful. Under the direction of OSB Coordinator Lynne
Williams, students with low vision and blindness in the Springfield School
District and a Charter School within the City of Philadelphia benefitted from
Overbrook School for the Blind’s highly trained personnel to learn how to
access and use assistive technology and how to read braille. Eight students
received training in one year, and with room for expansion, there are plans to
establish a full-time itinerant position to serve a number of Philadelphia
charter schools and the Springfield School District in the future.
OSB faculty expanded the collaborative relationship we have with
universities such as Kutztown and Villanova this year. In both instances,
students come to our campus every few weeks to observe, assist, and learn in
the classroom as well as in the White Hall independent living apartments.
The Kutztown teachers-in-training gain real-world experience and OSB
teachers have the opportunity to grow professionally by discussing and
evaluating the latest academic approaches and techniques. The partnership
with Villanova University includes a Peer Interaction Program, led by OSB
Coordinator Helene Marano, in which special education majors come
weekly to OSB to monitor, observe — and sometimes, play basketball —
with our High School and School-to-Work students. Student friendships
have developed and flourished, and this year, there were frequent sightings
of Villanova students visiting new friends in White Hall and volunteering at
OSB events.
[There is a photo of three small elementary students wearing red firemen
hats while engaging with an adult male firefighter.

garden.]
Nearly 100 OSB students collaborated in the creation of a dramatic mosaic
mural that was unveiled in the Rotunda in the spring. OSB Coordinator Dael
Cohen led the effort to partner with teaching artists from Philadelphia’s
Magic Gardens, an organization which provides mosaic mural education for
underserved audiences, and ArtReach, a Philadelphia organization that
connects underserved audiences with cultural experiences. After
brainstorming content for the mural, OSB students crafted handmade clay
tiles and other elements which they mosaicked into the mural creating
numerous special tactile elements. There is a visual representation of braille
lettering and some raised imagery of hands, musical instruments, and
goggles used in Goalball, a sport designed specifically for blind athletes. The
creative staff at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens provided the technical
expertise and instruction, ArtReach secured the necessary funding, and OSB
students, staff and faculty collaborated on the final mural that represents the
school as seen through the artistic vision of our students. It is appropriately
titled by an OSB student, “A Place To Be Free, est. 2014.”
[There is a photo of a male student putting the finishing touches on top of
the new mosaic mural in the Main Building at OSB.]
There is no greater example of a dynamic and relevant partnership than the
longstanding relationship between OSB and its sister schools for the blind
along the East Coast. Joined under the relationship of the Eastern Athletic
Association of Schools for the Blind or the Eastern Schools for the Blind
Music Festival, OSB students benefited from the socialization with their
contemporaries. Throughout the school year, there were competitive
swimming, wrestling, cheerleading, goalball, track and field tournaments,
and a grand-scale hand bell, choir and instrumental concert that also featured
an exhibit of student artwork from all of the participating schools.
Possibilities
Just look at the smiles of our 2013-2014 graduates, young men and women
who have
exceeded expectations on their journey to realize their true potential.
At Overbrook School for the Blind, we will continue to serve as an
innovative educational institution providing excellent educational,
therapeutic, and life skills services for our students. We will continue to
reach out locally, nationally and internationally to help people who are blind
and visually impaired find the resources and secure the knowledge they need
to help them lead full and rewarding lives. And we will continue to build an
organization that caters to the thought of tomorrow, whose commitment is to
cultivate, nurture and challenge the mind and spirit of our remarkable
students who are blind and visually impaired.
