I love CCI! I worked there for almost three years, doing Developmental Therapy and working with the kids' summer programs.
The vast majority of the Developmental Therapists who are hired there love their job, and work hard to help the kids. People need to realize that DT is largely a government paid program- thus there isn't a lot of funding to train employees. Nevertheless, the people here work hard to provide the best possible service regardless! I worked with different teams of coworkers every year, and always had a good experience.
On top of that, my supervisor was an inspiring leader. She always went above and beyond for the kids and the employees. She stands behind her employees, and really cares about the people receiving services through CCI.
I also know the Social Worker there and she is fantastic. If you are looking for people who are interested in making a difference in your child's life, you will find them at CCI.
The best advice I would give to a parent looking for developmental therapy for their child is to be involved with the therapist. Let them know what you expect. Developmental therapy is not a babysitting service- let them know what you expect and they will rise to the occasion. The employees here want to make a difference.
