- A collaborator ready to take on multiple tasks and decisions at once – whether it's guiding a child, taking notes, or communicating with parents or clinical staff.
- Positive role models with a commitment to safety by keeping the therapy environment organized, safe, and welcoming so every child can explore and learn comfortably.

- Development programs, feedback loops, and growth checkpoints are built into every employee's journey.
