About DTC
Brief History
Developmental Therapy Center (DTC) was established in 2002 where it began as a sister company to ACES, LLC. Beginning with occupational therapy and working closely alongside behavior therapy (ABA) counterparts, DTC grew to add on speech therapy and expanded to 4 offices across California. In 2019, ownership changes began and starting January 2020, DTC became what it is today. Developmental Therapy Center was taken over by one of it’s occupational therapists, Stacey Tarnovsky, placing more of a focus on occupational and speech therapy at the time. Shortly after, physical therapy was added to the mix. Today DTC continues to support families where it all began... in beautiful San Diego!
Today, Developmental Therapy Center, places an extreme importance in building relationships with the families. Our focus is on the family and the child, using play- based and developmental approaches to best fit your needs.

​
Brief Biography: As the owner and an occupational therapist at Developmental Therapy Center, I always knew I wanted to work with children. Early on, I started working as a nanny and then worked in a preschool setting. This passion humbly transformed my outlook through my college career. During college I worked with a non-profit called Camp Kesem, this program uniquely helps children whose parents had, have or had passed from cancer. I hold a bachelor's degree in Human and Family Development, with an emphasis in Child Development. I graduated with a Master’s in Occupational Therapy in 2016 and have been dedicatedly focused on expanding my knowledge and skillset ever since. I sustain a passion for sensory integration and infant/ toddler development, as well as working with families to help meet your child’s developmental milestones.
