Our staff also experiences growth through continuous professional development, enabling them to provide the highest quality of care. This dual focus on personal and professional growth enriches our community and enhances our impact.

A Message From Our Founder
Dan Stachelski, MS, CCC-SLP
Owner, Founder, CEO
Early in my life I had a drive to create, whether it was building with Legos, with fallen trees for forts, or with remnant lumber to build benches. Along with the drive to create, I was determined to genuinely make a difference in this world with one team and one vision. The culmination of these values was the vision of a commitment to hope and the future of children and families affected by developmental challenges around the world.
It is a remarkable feeling when you find purpose and I feel fortunate every day I come to work. We have an incredible team and every moment of every day they do everything they can to support our patients. ICAN is a place of quality treatment, a place of innovation, a place of acceptance, a place of community, a place of growth, a place of engagement, and a place of fun. Our team continues relentless pursuit of our vision every moment, every day.
A commitment to hope and a future for children and families affected by developmental challenges around the world is our story and our vision. When I founded ICAN in 2008 I strived for hope and futures for all the patients and families I served. Today ICAN is a leader in treatment, education and diagnosis of children with developmental challenges in the Pacific Northwest. We achieve our vision as a multidisciplinary team, using evidence-based treatment, excellent people, innovative approaches and engagement from our families. We have grown from a single provider to a committed group of over 150 people. Collectively we have contributed to the hope and future of over 2,200 families and earned international recognition for the knowledge and services we provide.
