When we ask our patients, families, and team what Developmental Therapy Center means to them, three words rise to the top time and time again: Hope, Progress, and Determination.

Each year, we bring those words to life through a story that reflects the impact of DTC from growth achieved, the challenges overcome, and the confidence built along the way. As we prepare for DTC’s 25th Annual Valentine Celebration, we are excited to share our most recent story as a reminder of what this milestone truly represents.

Take a moment to see what it means to be part of the DTC community and how, together, we continue to create brighter futures.

Many Hands. Many Minds. One Goal.

Guess who’s back and ready to reclaim the title🎤

After nearly a decade of unforgettable performances and several hard-earned Lip-Sync Battle wins, St. Joseph Catholic Schools (St. Joseph Catholic School and St. Joseph Central Catholic High School) is making their highly anticipated return to the stage for DTC’s 10th Annual Local Celebrity Lip-Sync Battle at our 25th Annual Valentine Celebration.

From the Spice Girls to Grease, Barbie, and so many extraordinary routines over the years, this team has built a legacy of high energy, bold creativity, and performances that set the bar. The question is, what do they have planned this year, and will they school the competition once again?

We are incredibly grateful for St. Joseph Catholic Schools’ many years of support of Developmental Therapy Center. St. Joseph Catholic Schools has helped shape what our Lip-Sync Battle has become, and their return to the stage for our 10th Annual event is nothing short of iconic.

St. Joseph Catholic School serves nursery–12th grade, focusing on educating the whole child spiritually, intellectually, ethically, morally, socially, and physically.

Admissions for DTC's 25th Annual Valentine Celebration are on sale now. St. Joseph Catholic Schools will go head-to-head with EveryBODY Fitness, Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, INC.

Be there when the Irish take the stage and the legacy continues!
