Jane studied at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, completing her undergraduate degree in psychology in 2009 and her Master of Science degree in occupational therapy in 2011. Her experience as an occupational therapist is varied and includes early childhood, assisted living, orthopedics, rehabilitation, and school-based therapy for children from preschool through high school. Special interests and training include sensory integration, neurodevelopmental treatment, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, feeding, and cognition.

Jane enjoys working as part of a team to address the needs of various populations from developmental delays to more serious diagnoses. She enjoys learning from colleagues as well as participating in more formal continuing education courses. 

Deana was born in Chicago, raised in Pittsburgh, and moved to Fort Collins, CO in 2017 to pursue her graduate degree in OT at Colorado State University. She is the fifth OT in her family and is thrilled to be following in her mother's footsteps working in pediatric care to support children and their families in living life to the fullest.
As an OT,  Deana has worked in memory care, inpatient psychiatric care for adults, children, and adolescents, and community group programs before landing in outpatient pediatrics. With a background in psychiatric care,  she continues to bring an interest in pediatric mental health to her current work. She is experienced in using trauma-informed practices to support children from non-traditional or foster homes in addressing emotional and behavioral challenges.
Deana has advanced certification in sensory integration (SI) informed approaches from the STAR Institute and is committed to continuing her certification in SI theory and practice. She is working towards becoming a Certified Autism Practitioner to ensure best practice in social, emotional, and behavioral health for children on the spectrum and their families. Special interests include responsive feeding therapy and executive functioning coaching. She finds great joy in collaborating with children and caregivers to identify needs and solutions as a team.
When she's not in the clinic, you can find Deana traipsing the trails with her dog, tending her plants, or biking around FoCo to her favorite river spots. 

Heather joined ABG in October 2014 and, for most people, she is their first contact with the office. If you come in as a client, Heather will make you feel welcome, help with your paperwork, and work with you to schedule your first appointment. If you’re part of another medical office, she will work with you to coordinate referrals and reports. Heather has had years of experience as an office manager in multiple settings and now especially enjoys loves working in a setting where she feels she can contribute to the well-being of the people she serves.

Heather grew up in Fort Collins and takes advantage of every opportunity for spending time with family and friends while soaking up the Colorado sunshine. Having raised four children of her own, Heather loves kids and enjoys being with them. She also knows what organization looks like and how to achieve it.  She makes a huge difference in how the ABG office runs and is an essential member of our staff.

Gordon is the owner of YNI Business Support LLC, a company, which provides contract support to ABG Therapy for computer, billing, and bookkeeping services. His initial link to ABG Therapy was through his wife, who is a speech therapy patient with ABG Therapy.

Gordon values his relationship with the clinic not only for the therapy provided to his wife but also for the excellent therapy it provides to so many children.  While providing operational support to a therapy clinic is very different from his previous roles as an executive at Hewlett-Packard, he considers it very rewarding to have even a small part in helping patients achieve their goals that are so important to coping with the challenges in life.
