I love working at Dynamic because of the flexibility and support that allows me to be a mom and a professional. No matter what’s on my mind about treatment strategies, new research, evaluation tools, unfamiliar developmental disorders, an area in the field that I’d like mentoring in or a personal question about my own parenting, health or relationships there is someone here who is knowledgeable and more than willing to take the time to discuss my questions or concerns.

Dynamic is more than a place of business. It is like a family; for those of us fortunate enough to work here and especially for the families we serve. We value learning, teamwork, collaboration. We encourage and support staff to pursue their passions and interests so that each employee represents this center of excellence well. I enjoy working alongside smart and caring people who share my expectations for the highest quality in the services we provide for every family. We care about the family first; the child’s delay, diagnosis, or need for therapy second. We meet families at a time in their lives when they may have been told what is wrong with their child. And then we have the rewarding mission of supporting the family in learning about the possibilities; not so much about what their child cannot do, but what they have the potential to do. Ultimately it is about what we can do to empower every family.

I love working for an organization that is willing to grow, change, adapt, and respond to best meet the needs of the community as well as the employees. It is rare to find a company that is so dedicated to supporting and utilizing the strengths of its individuals, allowing us to continually improve all that we do. From documentation to parent education, from treatment strategies to teaching workshops, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Working as an occupational therapist in the SKIP program has increased my awareness to family situations and led to a better understanding of extended family relationships. This has helped me adjust my home programs to actually blend into the family’s routine and I see improved follow through and success!

I love to work here because I have the autonomy to do what is best for families. My treatment is not limited by "higher ups” who set rigid rules based on the financial bottom line. Instead, we encourage one another to think outside of the box and go above and beyond to make things happen for families. A 5 year old boy I work has cerebral palsy, and he lacks the respiratory breath support for good voice volume. He needed a microphone headset so people can hear the wonderful things he has to say. The microphone cost $200, which was simply not in the family’s budget. A quick conversation with Leslie (CTC office administrator and member of the CTC Guild) got the ball rolling. The Guild had a fundraiser and donated money for a microphone. Problem solved, and life changed! When a family puts their trust in us and invites us to be a part of their lives, I want to do all I can to help them reach their goals. I really feel I can do that here.

I first was drawn to CTC after meeting Gay Lloyd at the University of Washington and realizing that I would love to learn more about helping children who were having difficulty with feeding. Once I began working I realized how lucky I was to be treating beside and learning from a group of talented and creative therapists. As we grow, I appreciate that we continue to hire people who bring new energy, knowledge, and ideas to our team.

I recently returned to Seattle after visiting family back home…happily, returning to work felt like just as much of a home coming. I love that I found a second family and am surrounded by people who care so deeply for me and perhaps more importantly for the work that we do. The flexibility is amazing – vacations are not only tolerated, but greatly encouraged – when you are sick, people sincerely want you to go home and get well guilt-free – when you’ve used up your vacation time but opportunity knocks, you are permitted to take unpaid days. It’s a luxury I can’t help but brag about! Participatory management is not an illusion!

I started work here at Dynamic Partners right out of graduate school as a new speech therapist, and I felt supported and constantly encouraged as I learned my style and developed my skill set. Now after years of employment here, I continue to feel surrounded by a creative, supportive, inspiring family of therapists and co-workers. I am so very grateful to work in an organization that celebrates teaming and supports and values its team members.

I am proud that the services we provide have the breadth and dimension not commonly seen in the therapy world. I see therapists collaborating with IT to leverage technology to help families; DOS and SPIO working together to create hybrid products to better serve our children; and therapists working with architects to ensure a new therapy center will serve our community to its fullest extent. On any given day, I have the opportunity to see the world differently through projects across multiple disciplines, programs, and locations. Every day brings new possibilities.

Whether you are talking about CTC, SKIP, DOS, or SPIO, the scope of work that is done within Dynamic Partners is as touching and inspiring as anything you could ever imagine. Not only do you feel like you are making a difference, but knowing those around you are striving for the same goals, is incredibly exciting and encouraging. I have never been so proud to be a part of something in my life.

In my position I am able to greet all the families that pass thru our doors on a weekly basis and actually see the hard work payoff when a child that could not speak a few months ago, or a child that could not walk comes to the front desk in their walker or wheelchair to ask me to call their therapist to come play. It is the little triumphs that keep me smiling and loving what I do day-to-day.

I choose to work for Dynamic because I know firsthand the difference that therapists make in the life of children with special needs. My son received such excellent care from multiple services that I cannot imagine what his life might have been like without their help. I love coming to work because when I am there, I know that my efforts benefit children like mine and I find that very rewarding.
