Consolidation and Collaboration of Therapies with Technology= the cost effective and efficient delivery of services and products

During the late 1980's it was a perfect time to change the way we delivered services and there was a consolidation of therapy services. I brought many therapists together under one roof, dedicated to them and those that we treated at the time. We offered ongoing training to make sure all therapists were comfortable treating a full continuum of patients in need of our services from those who were diagnosed with Hearing Loss to Dementia to CVA to neuromuscular disease like Parkinsons to children with Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy. We worked with those with ADHD and those with what we began to call on the spectrum.
That company went public and did enormously well. The concept of C0-Treat came from that era. Now we are ready to consolidte again. This consolidation is driven by the constant and fast paced growth of technology and automation. When there are hands now that can be attached to our Veterans who come home from war and work like the nerves that drive our muscles in a normal hand, we should know that the time for doing therapy for years or even many months is coming to an end.
Today, we must come together. We must collaborate, come together under one roof for the purpose of better, more efficient delivery of services and products and finally be able to make huge and lasting progress for those in so much need. The results will be enormous and the effects for the families, teachers, and friends will be that of greater quality of life.
