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. We provide all services via tele-practice, in-person, and/or hybrid models.

CSLOT is a multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic center which began as a speech and language therapy center in 1980. Over the decades, with the acquisition of several departments as well as disciplines, there have been many changes to meet the needs of individuals who have difficulty due to their language, communication, motor, sensory, behavior, voice, or literacy skills.

For over 40 years, CSLOT has been proud to offer our clients a safe, professional, therapeutic environment where they know their needs are being addressed, their behavior is being supported, and their family is fully participating.
