HISTORY •About Beyond The Spectrum
Beyond The Spectrum was founded with a clear and heartfelt mission: to support all children in their journey to grow, thrive, and succeed. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by families, Beyond The Spectrum was established to provide tailored support that meets the developmental needs of children, no matter how great the challenges may seem.
The vision for Beyond The Spectrum comes from Founder Debra Ciliento, who has over 30 years of experience working with children. Having operated her own early childhood center, Debra saw firsthand the need for interprofessional therapy services for children. Through her work in early intervention, she recognized a gap: while families were receiving some support, many also needed additional therapies, enrichment opportunities, and resources to ensure their children’s success.
What started as a passion for helping children has grown into a family-centered business. Beyond The Spectrum is not just a service; it’s a family affair. Debra’s adult children, who share her love for helping others, are part of the team, ensuring that every family who walks through the door feels like part of the Beyond The Spectrum family. The team of therapists, educators, and staff are not just colleagues—they are part of a larger, supportive community dedicated to making a positive impact.
Debra’s natural affinity for all children, especially those with special needs, has always driven her work. She finds immense joy in seeing children overcome obstacles, celebrate progress, and achieve their fullest potential. Her inspiration to build Beyond The Spectrum comes from both her own four children and the many therapists and educators who have worked alongside her for the past 15 years. Together, they have built a business that is truly about more than just therapy—it’s about creating a nurturing environment where children, families, and staff grow and succeed together.
