2011 Highlights & Achievements

2011 has been a very exciting year for us! We continue

working hard to develop innovative and meaningful programming for our families,

and are proud to share our achievements with you:

a.. Our CN Demonstration School opened January 18,

2011 to rave reviews from School Districts and our families. Northbrook District

27 states that Turning Pointe is their " go-to " school of choice for severely

impacted children.

b.. We expanded our Board of Directors to include 17

successful business leaders, our Advisory Committee to 12 experts in their

field, and engaged 10 committees with over 50 members to guide the work of the

organization.

c.. We announced the development of our educational,

vocational and recreation programs in the former Naperville Sun Building as our

North Campus, saving millions of dollars in capital costs.

d.. Walgreens selected Turning Pointe's Career

Development Program to pilot its first-ever " Walgreens College " training concept

for its retail stores, and committed to building a mock training environment at

our North Campus in the Fall of 2011.

e.. Dr. Emmett, nationally-renowned expert who

pioneered the development of Walgreens' Disability Inclusion program, selected

Turning Pointe as his exclusive organization to work with to develop our Career

Development Program. " I get five organizations a week that contact me to work

with them " , says Dr. Emmett. " I've chosen Turning Pointe because of their solid

business approach and innovative plan for raising the bar in employment services

for the disabled. "

f.. We have engaged with local community

organizations and service providers to open an after-school recreation and

fitness program at the North Campus in the Fall of 2011.

g.. A major community partner is soon to announce

significant funding for constructing an addition to the North Campus for our

Special Needs Community Center - the first of its kind in the United States.

h.. We are finalizing plans and will be announcing

the acceptance of reservations for our residential community at our South Campus

in the Fall of 2011.

i.. Besides solidifying relationships with the

Chicago Bulls, Blackhawks and Bobby Rahal, we've been selected as the

beneficiary for four community golf outings: CBS 670 SCORE Radio and Dan McNeil

Outing, Downers Grove Firefighters and Police United for Autism, Wheatland

Township Republican Organization Annual Golf Outing, and the Holy Spirit Golf

Tournament for Autism.

Please know how much we appreciate all of your support

with providing hope for families and a competent and meaningful future for

individuals with autism!
