DCO isn’t just a place to go...

DCO is a place that gets people going. Whether it’s through our pediatric therapies where we help caregivers become their child’s full time therapist, empowering families to help their little ones reach development goals; prepare children for kindergarten; safe day programs, community integration-focused programs, life-skills training, and social skills development for adults with disabilities; and employment supports for adults with barriers in the community---- we are all focused on getting people out there and an active part of this beautiful Ozarks region. It’s a great place to go...but an even better place to get going!
