BUILDING ON NEARLY TWO DECADES OF RESEARCH AND CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, QSTI TRAINED HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS TO DELIVER QIGONG SENSORY THERAPY (QST), A PARENT-DELIVERED THERAPY SHOWN TO IMPROVE SENSORY PROCESSING, COMMUNICATION, SELF-REGULATION, AND FAMILY BONDING. QSTI'S WORK FOCUSES ON EMPOWERING PARENTS TO PROVIDE DAILY THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT AT HOME, ALLOWING CHILDREN TO RECEIVE TIMELY CARE WHILE REDUCING THE BURDEN AND COST ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL CLINIC-BASED SERVICES.A MAJOR FOCUS OF THE YEAR WAS THE COMPLETION OF THE OREGON AUTISM FAMILY ACCESS INITIATIVE, A THREE-YEAR EFFORT THAT REPRESENTED ONE OF THE LARGEST TRAINING AND OUTREACH PROJECTS IN QSTI'S HISTORY. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OREGON FOUNDATIONS, QSTI SECURED MORE THAN $344,000 TO SUBSIDIZE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND PROVIDE FREE SERVICES TO FAMILIES. OVER THE COURSE OF THE INITIATIVE, 41 PROFESSIONALS PARTICIPATED IN CERTIFICATION COURSES, 40 FAMILIES RECEIVED COST-FREE CARE, AND RECRUITMENT EFFORTS PRIORITIZED RURAL, LOW-INCOME, BIPOC, IMMIGRANT, AND OTHER HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. FAMILIES PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM REPORTED SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN CHILD SENSORY PROCESSING AND SELF-REGULATION, ALONG WITH AN AVERAGE REDUCTION OF MORE THAN 43% IN PARENT STRESS.IN ADDITION TO EXPANDING ITS STATEWIDE NETWORK OF TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, QSTI STRENGTHENED ITS EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE BY LAUNCHING A NEW ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM AND REVITALIZING ITS MASTER TRAINER PROGRAM TO SUPPORT FUTURE GROWTH. THESE INVESTMENTS HAVE INCREASED TRAINING CAPACITY, IMPROVED THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR PRACTITIONERS, AND POSITIONED THE ORGANIZATION TO EXPLORE INNOVATIVE WAYS TO REACH MORE FAMILIES DIRECTLY IN THE YEARS AHEAD. 148638 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 OR X THE ORGANIZATION 9784072981 19363 WILLAMETTE DR 112 WEST LINN OR 97068 JASON EILER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MATTHEW ELLIOTT PRESIDENT/CEO BOARD CHAIR 40.00 X X 58700 0 0 GARY MCCUEN TREASURER (UNTIL 6/2025) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 RHOIE EILER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ORIT TAL-ATZILI BOARD MEMBER 20.00 X 28700 0 0 PEDRO NUNEZ SECRETARY/TREASURER (FROM 6/2025) 5.00 X X 0 0 0 87400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101256 101256 ONLINE COURSES 611600 47921 47921 47921 23232 23232 758 758 6475 499 5976 5976 179143 53897 0 23990 X 28700 28700 87400 77800 4800 4800 7898 7898 51593 26440 16411 8742 3073 2458 615 4399 2091 988 1320 11292 10878 207 207 1645 1645 RESEARCH EXPENSES 271 271 196271 148638 31949 15684 119326 66849 51278 447359 431777 566685 549904 3788 0 3788 X 521652 542116 45033 4000 566685 546116 566685 549904 X -17128 -3441 X X 0 0 0 X 5 15014 138727 110333 101256 365335 5 15014 138727 110333 101256 365335 217160 148175 25310 25010 24008 23306 23990 121624 486959 179315 0.30430 0.30310 X THE HISTORICAL PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR QIGONG SENSORY TRAINING INSTITUTE (QSTI) HAS BEEN ABOVE 30% IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND AVERAGED ALMOST 28% OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS.
