Louie’s Milestone Story
A Story of Hope
“Yesterday was a huge day for Louie. Yesterday he graduat-
ed from feeding therapy and all services at Easter Seals
Central Illinois. It has been 4 years since he started feeding
therapy. He had just turned one and had his 3rd surgery.
He was eating stage 2 baby foods, thin baby cereals, and
smooth yogurt. He was drinking from a bottle. His first
goals were to pick up goldfish and put them in a bowl, and
we could do about 3 before a meltdown.
Two years later, he could pick up those goldfish, even
touch is face with them, but they would never be near his
mouth. Two years ago I believed we were going to blend
everything Louie ate for the rest of his life. I figured he
would survive on soups and yogurt.
Louie worked so hard. Solid food terrified him and yet
every week or every other week he would go and try to
touch it and try to lick it and interact with it in any safe way
he could. He wanted to be able to eat and he did not give
up so we did not give up on him.
His hard work and patience and persistence paid off!
Today, Louie will eat all of the same things the rest of us
eat. He will chew meat, vegetables, fruit, and grains of all
sorts. Yes, he still has to take small bites, yes he still has to
drink to help him swallow sometimes and the occasional
walk or jump helps too. Tonight we will probably go out to
eat (a process that used to be very uncomfortable) and will
eat and enjoy it. No one will look at us like we are idiots
for bringing a jar of baby food to a restaurant for a 2 year
old to eat. We won't have to ask for the chunks to be
strained out of his soup. He won't have to eat only mashed
potatoes with lots of gravy unless he wants to.
I cannot say enough about how proud we are of him. Spe-
cial thanks to all his therapists and friends who have helped
us along the way.” ~ Karen, Louie’s mom

TIMBER POINTE OUTDOOR CENTER MARINA PROJECTTIMBER POINTE OUTDOOR CENTER MARINA PROJECT
Timber Pointe Outdoor Center, located on Lake Bloomington, is the premier resource in the
state of Illinois for providing specialized outdoor recreational, experiential and family programs for
children and adults in a fun, safe and accessible environment.
The Marina area, a popular place for campers, is being transformed with the construction of a sea-
wall fronting a state of the art boardwalk and dock complex. The dock complex includes a sand
beach, shaded fishing areas, and specially designed canoe and kayak launch lifts and covered boat
lifts. These renovations will make marina-based activities accessible to all children and adults with
disabilities and other special needs.
The first phase of the Marina Project will be complete in time for the 2016 summer camp season.
The Timber Pointe Outdoor Center Marina Project is funded through the generosity of the Robert J. Woods and Joan
Jarrett Woods through the creation of The Woods Foundation in partnership with The Timber Pointe Charitable
Foundation and Easter Seals Central Illinois.
The dock complex is nearing completion.
Decking will be laid and the canopy installed Spring 2016.
Timber Pointe Outdoor Center offers programs throughout the year. Summer programming, in particular, gives way
to many opportunities for children and adults. Summer programs include Easter Seals residential and day programs,
Adventure Day Camp, contracted partner groups and rental groups. Integrated programming for typically-developing
siblings and peers is also offered.
Each session includes traditional camp activities such as swimming, fishing, hiking, canoeing, a pontoon boat ride,
arts & crafts, target sports, barnyard animals, high ropes, zip-line and horseback riding. The Timber Pointe staff
strives to create an experience that is inclusive, stimulating and educational while providing opportunities that might
otherwise seem impossible due to physical limitations, developmental delays or illnesses.
