Capitol School of Austin

This class helps young children develop early language and communication skills through play, songs, and interaction. Each session fosters social connection and confidence in a nurturing environment designed for early learners. CSA’s language program is designed to provide intensive speech, language, and learning services. All classes are directed and staffed by licensed Speech-Language Pathologists or Special Education teachers (most of which hold master’s degrees). All Speech Pathologists are licensed by the State of Texas, and most hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech and Hearing Association. Individual and small group therapy is also available through The Children’s Therapy Center at Capitol School of Austin. CSA students have average or above-average learning potential but are at risk for failure in traditional settings because they process information differently than their peers. CSA addresses these differences by integrating therapy and preschool/school-age curriculum to maximize each child’s potential. In addition, the low student-to-teacher ratio and individualized attention allow our therapists and teachers to infuse language development and remediation into every aspect of a student’s day. Capitol School of Austin is not an appropriate placement for children with significant social challenges due to autism or emotional/behavioral disorders.

Availability of this class varies year to year depending on interest and enrollment Hours if offered: Tuesday – Wednesday  – Thursday from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. This class is designed for younger preschool children who are in the early stages of language development.  A multi-sensory approach is used to support attempts to participate and communicate during whole group and smaller group activities.  By participating in play-based activities, children are able to acquire language and communication skills in an age-appropriate way.
