Welcome

Our Staff

The mission of the Center for Speech, Language, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis is to provide communication and movement to those who have lost or have not yet acquired these skills.  We are committed to service, professionalism, and creativity, and we are driven by these commitments to fulfill our mission.

Telepractice

      Get Ready to Read Screening Tool

      Clara Canizares, MS, CCC/SLP
      March 21, 2022

      The Get Ready to Read! Screening Tool takes about 10 minutes to administer and was designed to provide early childhood professionals and parents with a “snapshot” of where a child is on the path to developing important early literacy skills. The Screening Tool is NOT a formal assessment or a way to identify disabilities. However, it can give you important information about a child’s skills that can help inform what you do in the classroom.
