CDT Kids Charity has been serving children with developmental disabilities in Arizona for more than twelve years. During this time, the program has grown dramatically. In 2012, Mat and Becky Curtner founded the children's charity and secured a contract with the state of Arizona; Division of Developmental Disabilities. In 2014, CDT started operations with a few clients and two therapists doing home health speech therapy. Today, we serve 350+ clients per week in HCBS, own a 2500 square ft office condo, own a 5 acre horse property in Queen Creek, have over 25 employees, and operate a specialized pediatric therapy clinic in Gilbert providing speech and occupational therapy. Children with developmental disabilities have an internal drive to be successful, therefore our direct service providers will lead them through the stages of development in order to achieve their personal best.

Testimonials

"My family and I attended the rodeo put on by CDT and had a blast. The activities they had for the kids were engaging and fun. My daughter enjoyed bouncing in the bounce house and arts and crafts, while my son practiced his roping skills. The Barn is a beautiful place and was the perfect setting for the rodeo. Each little niche and around each corner there was something lovely for the family to enjoy. The staff and therapists all had a gentle report with the kids and as a parent, I felt comfortable letting my kids enjoy the day the way they wanted to. My favorite part of the day was watching my daughter walk in the parade with all the kids smiling and waving. We are definitely looking forward to the next CDT event. "

The therapist is always patient with her. She does great setting goals tailored to Emily's needs. All of the therapists are very knowledgeable and we appreciate them so much! The clinic is clean and comfortable and all of my kids love the therapeutic sensory gym and ball pit. The front desk is always welcoming and friendly! Emily has come so far in such a short amount of time, thanks to CDT Kids!
