Our Story - The OBC Journey
Back in 2010, our founder, Dr. Patricia Oliver, was working in research at CU Denver. She loved the work with schools and her team, but she was missing the direct interaction with families and the “peanuts” (as she frequently refers to the children we serve). This need for direct contact with our community was her inspiration to start working directly with families in the Denver Metro area.
Initially, her work was mostly through early intervention (children 0-3 years of age). Her services were solicited when a youngster and her/his family were struggling with behavioral difficulties.
While working with families in their home, Dr. Oliver had the opportunity to interact with other professionals providing different kinds of supports to the families and their children. It was through these interactions that she came to the awareness of the need for creating transdisciplinary teams where children were valued as whole individuals with different needs and whom would benefit from a team approach to intervention.
This moment represented the initial blueprint for OBC. With the intention of creating a tight multidisciplinary team, she first hired an early childhood educator, then sometime later a speech and language pathologist, then followed by an occupational therapist. Recently, OBC has broadened its support even further by the addition of a mental health team who provide counseling and diagnostic services.
Through persistent work and total dedication, OBC is proudly celebrating its first 10 years of providing evidence-based support to the youngsters of our community and their families.
