Siskin Children's Institute

As many are winding down during the holidays, our work at Siskin Children’s Institute continues, supported by an incredible community.

This week, Tennessee State Representative Michele Reneau visited to learn more about our programs and see how we support children with special needs and their families through early intervention and therapy services.

We were also grateful to welcome volunteers from Insight Global, who helped clean and spruce up our therapy spaces just in time for the holiday break.

And as always, visits from our four-legged friends at Love On A Leash Scenic City Therapy Pets brought smiles and comfort to our staff and families.

We are thankful for the people and partners who continue to show up for Siskin, even during the busy holiday season. 💛

We recently welcomed Marty, a graduate of Siskin Children’s Institute, who traveled from out of town with her family to visit us. As a former Siskin graduate, it meant so much to welcome her back and celebrate how far she’s come.

During her visit, Marty shared a special scrapbook filled with photos of her alongside our founders, Mose and Garrison Siskin, and reflected on being honored as a Siskin Sweetheart in the 1970s—a prestigious award once given to children attending Siskin Children’s Institute.

We’re always grateful when former families like Marty’s stop by, and we are especially thankful for her continued support and advocacy after all these years. Her visit is a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of our work and the lifelong connections that make the Siskin community so special. 💙

This week we welcomed students from the STEM School Chattanooga as they returned to present their incredible collaboration projects. 💡💛

Over the past six weeks, these students have been designing and adapting creative solutions to help enrich the lives of the children and families we serve. Their ideas were inspired by hands-on experiences at Siskin, where they learned about our services, explored real challenges faced by our kids, and even tried tasks with simulated limited vision or mobility.

Their presentations were thoughtful, innovative, and filled with heart. We appreciated their passion and the attention to detail they put into creating tools that help ensure all children can be included.

Thank you to the STEM School students for using your talents to make a meaningful impact. We loved seeing your hard work come to life.

Each butterfly on the tree represents a real example of what your gift can provide: from comfort essentials like diapers, wipes, and sensory toys to the specialized equipment our therapists use every day to help our children grow, learn, and thrive.

We want to take a special moment to congratulate the 49 new Eagle Scouts honored last night. Your commitment, leadership, and thousands of hours of service are truly making a difference in our community!

We also celebrate Dr. Robert Dooley, recipient of the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award, whose lifelong dedication to service continues to inspire.

Our CEO, Don Mueller, had the honor of chairing this year’s event, a meaningful opportunity to recognize these remarkable young leaders.

To every Scout, leader, and family, thank you for all you contribute to our community. We’re cheering you on. 💛
