CCLS's Philosophy:
Offer each client an invitation for growth in a welcoming, comfortable, positive and growth-oriented environment. Provide state-of-the-art tools to efficiently, safely, and gracefully achieve change. Provide progress review, consultation, and guidance during Center-or home-based programs. Address intervention procedures and
options fully. The client and family determine which option is most feasible at that time. If participation of another health care professional is needed, that recommendation is presented.
