One team member reflected on the continued development of our “Consultation That Fits” program. What stood out for her in contributing to this program was the magical collaboration among team members that unfolded across disciplines and roles. It was a reminder of the power of coming together with shared purpose.
Another team member highlighted the development of equitable language access for our services, a proposal that helped us secure grant funding for translation and interpretation. This ensures that families can engage with DFX in ways that honor their language, culture, and voice, because access is foundational to belonging.
Connection also extended beyond our walls through community education and outreach. Our clinicians who presented on sensory integration and regulation to a local early childhood education school in Denver sparked meaningful dialogue and positive feedback from parents, teachers, and staff. Connections were fostered far beyond Denver this year through our Learning Journeys Program. The heart of DFX reached clinicians and communities around the world through courses offered in London, Copenhagen, Poland, Australia, and Bali, along with our online offerings, collaborations with the Polyvagal Institute, ICDL, and Unyte, as well as through the Spirited Conversations podcast. Each space became another place where shared language, curiosity, and belonging could take root.
And sometimes, connection arrives in a single sentence. One staff member shared the impact of hearing a parent reflect on how much DFX services would have helped their child when they were younger. That moment held both affirmation and urgency—affirmation that what we do matters deeply, and urgency to continue reaching families as early and as effectively as possible.
