At Heartspring, we host graduation ceremonies all year long! The students in our Therapeutic Residential and Day School graduate when they complete their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and individualized behavioral intervention plans or age out of pediatric care. It’s so important that we celebrate students’ milestones and accomplishments. It’s incredibly special to see families celebrate their students and all they’ve accomplished at Heartspring to lead more independent lives.

Heartspring’s CARE Summer Vocational Training Program spent their summer exploring career paths at the Wichita Art Museum, completing mock interviews at the @workforce-alliance-of-south-central-kansas, volunteering in the community, and learning digital skills. These skills and experiences help our CARE Club kids practice interacting with community members and learn valuable skills to gain employment.

Our residential school SLPs held a training session for the Kansas Speech-Language-Hearing Association a few weeks ago! This opportunity allowed our staff to share their knowledge with other SLPs and provide valuable training for fellow SLPs, which counts toward continuing education requirements to maintain their credentials. KSHA is a non-profit professional organization comprised of licensed and future professionals in speech, language, and hearing. Its purpose is to provide high-quality, innovative professional development, increase community awareness of the field, and advocate for the professions and individuals with communication disorders.

Even though most schools are getting ready to start the 2024-2025 school year, our Therapeutic Residential and Day School is year-round—so are graduations! Celebration is one of Heartspring's core values. It's a joy to host graduation ceremonies for our students to commemorate their achievements with their families. This summer, several young men graduated from Heartspring, and we asked their parents to share their experiences. We will have a new video to share every week over four weeks, so stay tuned to hear these families' stories.
