FOCUSED ON INCLUSION AND CENTERED IN SOCIAL JUSTICE, CHAT PROVIDES LIFE-CHANGING SPEECH THERAPY TO INDIVIDUALS WITH FEW - IF ANY - OTHER OPTIONS. MORE THAN 80% OF THE STUDENTS WE SERVE COME FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, AND OVER 70% ARE UNINSURED OR ON MEDICAID. THROUGH OUR CLINIC, IN SCHOOLS, EARLY INTERVENTION, AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY NONPROFITS, WE HELP INDIVIDUALS HARNESS THEIR STRENGTHS WHILE TAILORING OUR SERVICES TO THEIR NEEDS. WE APPROACH OUT WORK WITH DEEP CULTURAL HUMILITY AND UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION SO THE PEOPLE WE SERVE CAN BE MORE SUSTAINABLY SUPPORTED. WE ACCEPT MEDICAID WHILE MANY OTHERS DON'T AND BRING THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMMING INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED. WE WORK TOWARD COMMUNICATION JUSTICE BY SERVING UNDER-RESOURCED AND NEURODIVERGENT INDIVIDUALS WHOSE COMMUNICATION DISORDERS AND DIFFERENCES CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR INEQUITABLE TREATMENT, INCLUDING IN THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM, AND BY WORKING TO REMOVE STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO ACCESS. 1781356 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 38 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 IL X KARINE FADEN FIORE 6306520200 310-D S MAIN STREET LOMBARD IL 60148 JOHN ROBERTI CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIELLE CIECHANSKI TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANIL VARGHESE VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TYLER JEFFREY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MADHVI VERMA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 OSVALDO DIAZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NERISSA COYLE MCGINN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATT MORENO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KARINE FADEN FIORE PRESIDENT & CEO 45.00 X 150000 0 3000 150000 0 3000 1 0 1 0 0 164065 164065 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM RE 611710 1431186 1431186 PATIENT SERVICE REVENU 624310 482505 482505 1913691 90466 30775 59691 59691 OTHER REVENUE 900099 250 250 250 2137697 1913941 0 59691 150000 130500 10500 9000 1583850 1377950 110869 95031 65082 56621 4556 3905 125986 109608 8819 7559 10750 7955 2795 65970 48818 17152 3164 2595 569 36526 11323 24107 1096 1788 1788 15156 15156 7413 7413 14853 10694 2971 1188 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 11797 8494 3303 SUPPLIES 11003 8362 2641 EQUIPMENT 5285 1638 3488 159 BAD DEBTS 5220 5220 11123 1578 9545 2124966 1781356 225672 117938 12302 33659 192992 173404 4453 6215 215000 42582 179831 172418 389578 385696 29435 51378 395259 356703 424694 408081 X -37723 -22385 2607 0 -35116 -22385 389578 385696 12731 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 428151 411048 120260 131353 164065 1254877 1279316 1382482 1514617 1940331 1913691 8030437 1707467 1793530 1634877 2071684 2077756 9285314 0 0 0 9285314 21620 102484 59691 183795 230 119 327 594 250 1520 1707697 1793649 1656824 2174762 2137697 9470629 0.98040 0.98630 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 215000 42582 172418 172418 X 2137697 0 2137697 0 2137697 2124966 0 2124966 0 2124966 PART X, LINE 2: CHAT RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED.
