Welcome

Since 1980, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and behavior therapists from the Center for Speech, Language, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis (CSLOT) have been serving the communication, movement, and behavior needs of children and adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Our Staff

CSLOT's staff is comprised of clinical and administrative team members who work together to provide the best possible services for our clients.

Code of Values

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

One of the ways in which CSLOT serves our clients is through the use of telepractice.
