Explanation

Part X, Line 2:

Via of the Lehigh Valley, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for fiscal year 2016 and 2015. The Organization files its 990 with the United States Internal Revenue Service and with the Bureau of Charitable Organizations in Pennsylvania.

Primary Mission & Values	Via of the Lehigh Valley is a non-profit agency that provides services for children and adults with disabilities like autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. Via's mission is to help the people we serve reach their full potential. Serving the community since 1952, Via's staff and volunteers help individuals and families from birth through retirement to gain life skills, obtain meaningful employment and develop social connections. Via of the Lehigh Valley, Inc. works in partnership with Via Events, Inc. and the Via Foundation, Inc. to accomplish these goals with community partners. In 1952, a group of determined Lehigh Valley parents of adult children with disabilities opened a daytime activity program. Parents and volunteers provided training and socialization opportunities for their sons and daughters and operated in the basement of a church. In 1954, the first executive director of the newly incorporated Lehigh County Association for Retarded Children (LARC) was hired. In 1967, LARC became the Lehigh Valley Association of Rehabilitation Facilities. In 1997, the Lehigh Valley Association of Rehabilitation Facilities merged with United Cerebral Palsy of the Lehigh Valley. The combined entity became known as Via of the Lehigh Valley, Inc. Today, Via is one of the largest providers of services to people with disabilities in the Lehigh Valley. Via provides children, adults and their families with quality services that facilitate developmental and educational opportunities, as well as personal choice of career, home, leisure and retirement. Via advocates for inclusion of all people with disabilities within schools, neighborhoods and communities, personal relationships, and employment. Via builds communities that provide equal access to appropriate developmental services so people have friends who care and relationships that are rich and meaningful, enjoy a rewarding career of their choice, and are connected to the resources of their community.
Program Vision	Via's implementation of its mission and vision is based on the following: -Every individual is valued and treated with dignity, respect, and courtesy. -Every individual is capable of growth and learning. -Every individual is able to communicate needs, desires, feelings and personal choices through the experience of person-centered planning and approaches. -Every individual has the right to be included as an active, valuable participant in the community. -Every individual has a right to physical and mental access to the community. -Every individual has a right to an advocate of their choice. Via's Values We Value People - We believe people should be treated with dignity, respect, fairness and courtesy in environments that are safe and comfortable, and support individual development. We Value Growth - We believe that personal growth is promoted through attention to present strengths and not past weaknesses. We Value Community - We believe that the development of community supports and resources enhances the quality of life. We Value Diversity - We believe that an atmosphere of mutual respect for each other's differences adds quality to our services. We Value Shared ideas - We believe that listening is a crucial part of effective communication and that individuals should actively participate in their service planning. We Value Advocacy - We believe that everyone is responsible for bringing about the change necessary to benefit those we serve to the fullest extent. We Value Rehabilitation - We believe services must be available as long as they are needed.
Program Services	Via offers a full array of services designed to assist children and adults with disabilities so that they can have a fulfilling life within their community. Services are provided with a focus on who individuals are and what they, with family input, determine are their program priorities. There is a strong emphasis on involving as many natural resources and supports as possible to help each person achieve their individual goals. These services may include but are not limited to Early Intervention, Community-Based Habilitation, Transitional Activities for teens and young adults, Supported Employment, Customized Employment (including small business development), Pre-Vocational Services, Adult Training Services and Supported Living. Significant Areas of Growth -Via trained more than 500 county and state human service professionals, educators, and other stakeholders in community employment best practices. -Established academic university affiliation with Drexel University and the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute to community rehabilitation provider organizations on providing customized employment services for the job seekers that they serve. -Expansion of Via Community Employment Services to support individuals in Bucks and Carbon Counties through the PA Bureau of Autism Waiver, Office of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) and Social Security Plans for Achieving Self Support (PASS). -Expansion of Via Work Training Services Workshop to support individuals funded through the Lehigh and Northampton County Office of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS). -Received license from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to offer private, academic Pre-School, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs at Lehigh Children's Academy. -Approved to provide scholarships for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program (OSTC), administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), at Lehigh Children's Academy. Tax credits are awarded to businesses that make contributions to programs like Lehigh Children's Academy. -Launched Reading Together at Home, funded in part through a United Way grant to provide young children up to age 5 and their parents with weekly reading sessions with a Via Reading Specialist. -Launched Behavioral Support Services for adults funded through the Adult Autism Waiver. -Opened John E. Walson Center at Via which provides educational, social, cultural and wellness activities for adults with disabilities. Participants in this adult training program spend a portion of their time at our facility in Bethlehem, and have opportunities to explore the community. Via Early Intervention Children deserve a bright and healthy start in life. Recognizing developmental delays and treating them early is vital in the growth of children. Via Early Intervention can make all the difference in a family's life. Early identification and age-appropriate therapies are critical to the well-being of children with disabilities. Early Intervention, offered to children from birth to age three, can enhance a child's development and provide support and assistance to families. Early Intervention is a variety of services available for children from birth through age three who have developmental delays or are at risk. Services are designed from a family focused perspective to meet the developmental needs of the child and their family. Services are provided in natural environments such as home, child day care centers, nursery/preschool programs, etc. Via Early Intervention services are staffed by a group of highly qualified and experienced professionals from a variety of disciplines. The services provided are designated by an individualized family service plan that may include any of the following services: Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Special Instructions, Screening and Assessment Services, and Technology Devices and Services. Early Intervention is administered through the county's Early Intervention Department. Via receives referrals from Lehigh or Northampton County after a parent has contacted the county to have their child enrolled in this program. Children are assessed in their home by a team of therapists to determine if they qualify for Early Intervention services. Once a child qualifies, they are assigned a county service coordinator. Service coordinators establish a service plan with families and Early Intervention specialists which includes desired outcomes for each child and frequency and duration of services. Sessions are designed to include caregivers so therapies can continue outside of the structured therapy session. Service coordinators refer families to a program like Via's program; families may request and/or choose which service provider they wish to work with. Early Intervention is a state-wide program entitlement program and is available to all families at no cost, regardless of household income. Children are assessed by their therapist to determine their strengths. A plan is developed that helps each child learn and grow according to their needs and abilities. Via Early Intervention program offers: a licensed, highly trained, professional staff of speech, occupational and physical therapists; community-based delivery in the child's natural environment (in home and childcare settings); a plan designed to meet the child's individual needs and centered around family routines; a team-based approach; and family training. Lehigh Children's Academy Lehigh Children's Academy provides inclusive high quality, nurturing care and education for young children, ages six weeks to six years, and provides before and after school care for school age children. Inclusion as a value supports the right of all children, regardless of their diverse abilities and background, to participate actively in natural settings within their communities. Inclusion is characterized by a feeling of belonging, in children of all abilities, learning, playing, and working together. Lehigh Children's Academy believes with successful inclusion, all children are actively involved, physically accessing play and work locations, and have options from which they can choose personally. Inclusion is a process, not a placement. Lehigh Children's Academy focuses on lasting impressions for a lifetime of learning through educational experiences that promote a child's emotional, social, intellectual and physical development. The Academy works collaboratively with families to encourage and support children's desire and potential to become enthusiastic, independent, confident and inquisitive lifelong learners. Lehigh Children's Academy environment and curriculum are focused on promoting the acquisition of skills by students through the design and enhancement of learning environments, activities, and routines. Classrooms have creatively designed, developmentally appropriate learning centers which provide children with information and experiences that encourage them to think and explore. Lehigh Children's Academy strives to provide an experience that maximizes success and minimizes frustration, allowing children space and time to explore, create and learn at their own pace, using their own learning style. Lehigh Children's Academy uses technology as a tool for engagement, participation and play to enhance curriculum based learning. Technology and digital media are valuable tools that are used intentionally with children to extend and support active, hands-on, creative and authentic engagement with their peers and their world. Lehigh Children's Academy believes technology should not replace activities that are important for children's development like creative play, real life exploration, physical activity, conversation and social interactions. Lehigh Children's Academy follows the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations which discourage screen media and screen time for children under two years of age and recommends limited screen time for older children. The core of Lehigh Children's Academy philosophy is that early childhood inclusion embodies the values, policies, and practices that support the right of every infant and young child and his or her family, regardless of ability or socio-economic background, to participate in a broad range of activities and contexts as full members of families, communities, and society.
