Core Values

At Dimensions, we strive for excellence by providing evidence-based practices in pediatric intervention. Our goals are well-defined, tracked periodically, and documented to provide a road map to success.

Team Approach

In order for a child to progress adequately, the clinician and parent/caregiver need to work together as a team. We strongly believe parents play a key role in decision-making and that parents must work with their children at home, daily, by carrying over what was suggested in therapy to optimize progress. We can help you with a home plan periodically or daily based on your schedules and child's needs.

We believe in supporting one another with honest and constructive feedback with mutual respect.

Parent Support

Progress takes time and we understand it can be overwhelming for families to navigate alone. We believe parent empowerment is key to a child’s success; and therefore, we provide parent coaching through our courses and consistent one-to-one interaction.

Transparency

Our therapists are keen to share with you all they have planned and executed in their sessions and suggest ways to embed them at home. We encourage you to ask questions and learn more about the strategies and techniques used in therapy

We are here to give you our best, are you ready to join hands with us?
