Capitol School of Austin (CSA) began in 1990 as Austin's first
private, non-profit organization for young children with language
and learning differences. With determination and a dream, founder
and speech-language pathologist Amy Cunningham built the language-based
program which began with only 3 students. Since it's inception,
CSA classes have filled an educational gap for hundreds of Austin-area
children, pre-school through the third grade. In August 2000,
the Horizon Program was started to meet the needs of children
with Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The school's dedicated staff provides a personalized approach which focuses on student's strengths and individual development. Each program is multi-sensory, emphasizing language proficiency integrated with skills in self-help, socialization, and gross and fine motor movement. |
