CSLL Occupational Therapists use a variety of therapeutic approaches to address each child's functional needs.  

Therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment evaluation including visual perception,  fine & gross motor skills, cognitive function, self-care and sensory processing skills.  

Our Occupational Therapists have extensive training determining challenging therapeutic activities which address function and comprehensive development.  They plan and implement relevant sensory-motor intervention strategies and developmentally sound activities creating an environment or structure that regulates your child's sensory system.  OT services are provided on a continuum to meet a child's changing needs. Training and materials for home programming are also provided when appropriate.  

The following assessment methods are employed:

  • Parent, Teacher, and Child Interview

CSLL Speech Language Pathologists are highly trained and experienced assessing and treating communication disorders.

Speech-Language therapy occurs through regular appointments and a family partnership. The SLP creates an intervention that is interesting, motivating, and developmentally appropriate for each individual's communication goals.  Children receive regular updated plans of care as well as a detailed comprehensive evaluation yearly demonstrating growth and recommended next course of action.


Assessment drives intervention.  We complete holistic speech and language assessment to understand each child fully in the environments where he/she lives and learns. Using skilled observation of the child’s communication techniques and comparison with data of other same age and background children, we diagnose the following communication disorders:

  • Expressive Language, including grammar, vocabulary, language organization, late talkers, and nonverbal individuals
  • Receptive Language, including listening and understanding 
  • Written Language, including spelling, punctuation, and organization
  • Phonological Awareness, a language-based cause of Dyslexia
  • Social Communication, with or without a diagnosis on the Autism spectrum or Asperger’s
  • Phonology, including intelligibility, articulation and speech sound accuracy
  • Fluency Disorder, including stuttering and cluttering
  • Reading Disorder, including decoding, encoding, and grammatical study of words
  • Any of the above communication disorders in children who have a bilingual or multilingual background.


The following assessment methods may be employed 

to complement this goal:

  • Parent, Teacher and Child Interview
  • SCERTS
  • I-LAUGH
  • SPELL-II
  • Dynamic Assessment 
  • Home and School Observation
  • Language and Speech Sample Analysis
  • Standardized Tests
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices to support the child in using visual symbols to communicate.
