As a practitioner, Shelley Dean, OTD, OTR/L recognized a need for more pediatric therapy services in the Charlotte area. In 2004, Shelley opened Crossway Pediatric Therapy as a sole provider. Shelley chose the name “Crossway” to demonstrate the journey made by families and children with special needs. The image of the bridge symbolizes the child’s path which ultimately leads to their dreams and independence if provided with the appropriate supports. Through this vision, Shelley has expanded her services from a sole provider to a multidisciplinary team with an office of nearly 5,000 square feet of therapeutic space. Through the support and dedication of the therapists and specialists, Crossway Pediatric Therapy continues to grow to meet the demands of the Charlotte area—most recently this growth included the opening of Crossway Academy. The team at Crossway believes in using multidisciplinary and educational approaches to facilitate the desired goals for each child and their supporting family.
