The primary services that CCLS provides are....
CCLS uses a variety of approaches to bolster attention, memory and other components of learning, speech clarity and fluency, language comprehension and use, listening and reading, and personal growth. We tailor programs to match clients' requirements.
SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY PROGRAMS provide monitored practice in skill development aiming towards spontaneous self-production of target skills in all environments. Therapy is designed in content, duration, focus, and style for each client, relying on strong clinical advances.
AUDITORY-AND VISUALLY-BASED PROGRAMS for clients unable to easily regulate attention, concentration, and memory or have other information processing, reading and learning difficulties, emotional or behavioral problems, or delays in speech and language growth:
Integrated Speech-Language Therapy/Audiology Treatment approaches to Central Auditory Processing Disorder to improve the client's ability to more efficiently make sense of what is heard. Clinical research utilizing and combining elements of the Tomatis, BGC, SAMONAS, and The Listen ing Program, auditory training approaches which incorporate filtered, modulated or enhanced music and voice to train the auditory system to focus with greater ease and efficiency on salient features of incoming information. FastForWord assists clients to distinguish and process rapidly changing acoustic elements of speech sounds at a more normal rate needed for speech, language and reading development. EAROBICS provides effective and comprehensive training in auditory processing and related skills.
Bio-tuning, brain entrainment and sonic induction therapy uses precisely tuned sound frequencies of the client's own voice and other stress-reducing, attention-riveting sounds to facilitate balance, relaxation and homeostasis in the central nervous system, emotions and brain/mind as a support to enhanced communication, attention and learning abilities.
Bio-acoustics/Vocal Spectral Analysis is a diagnostic tool and treatment modality using frequencies in a person's own voice to identify and influence systems within the body which produce, interpret and use frequencies. This integrated approach gathers biochemical, emotional and structural information about a person to complement conventional medical care.
Vocal Profiling is a research tool which uses an individualized, computerized frequency analysis of the voice to assist in management of health and wellness. CCLS is exploring this research with individuals who have communication and learning challenges.
CAPTAIN'S LOG COGNITIVE REHABILITATION PROGRAM aims to restore impaired cognitive functioning of individuals with attention deficit, learning disability or brain injury. This computer-based approach initially strengthens attention, concentration and memory skills and then works to enhance language and temporal-sequential skills. Higher level cognitive functions of reasoning, abstraction, and logical analysis are a third therapy component.
STRUCTURE OF THE INTELLECT MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAM (SOI) examines abilities underlying reading, math and other areas requiring problem solving, memory, logical and creative thinking and evaluation of information. Prescribed training modules aim to strengthen underdeveloped learning area. SOI examines personal learning skills profiles and finds 'best fit' matches.
EEG NEUROFEEDBACK TRAINING assists individuals with attention regulating disorders, with or without hyperactivity; learning disabilities; cognitive deficits; and speech and l anguage disorders. This is a computer-aided technique which aims to normalize arousal and alertness levels, sensory information processing, memory organization, and cognitive processing. Quantitative analysis (QEEG) assists in diagnosis, provides a starting point for treatment, and documents progress.
INTERACTIVE METRONOME PROGRAM (IM) provides a focused and systematic way to exercise motor planning and sequencing capacities within the brain in individuals with motor control problems; attention regulation; speech and language production; cognitive, learning, and social communication difficulties. IM has also been successfully used to reduce hypersensitivity to sound.
