Testimonials

  • CST is a life-changing environment. We could not be more grateful to Mandy, Nainee, Lauren and the entire staff. Our son finished 8 months here in May and it was very difficult saying goodbye. From the moment you and your child walk through the doors, they are encouraging, loving and supportive at all times. Within days, we saw massive changes in our son’s language, play and demeanor. He is exponentially more social, interactive and happy because of his time spent at CST. We will sorely miss everyone here, but are beyond grateful that they have helped him gain the tools necessary to continue on his preschool journey.
  • CSTA is the best out there. The therapists, teachers, and administration go above and beyond to make the experience for you and your child nothing short of a dream come true. Their communication, attention to detail, lesson plans, follow-through, and expertise within their professions is truly astounding. My child was so well cared for over the past two years that she has been attending CSTA because her therapists and teachers genuinely love her and want the best for her. I too have felt well taken care of with the ease of communication and responsiveness of the administration. Thank you CSTA!!!
  • I am not surprised that CST Academy is one of the top therapeutic preschool-style and kindergarten programs in Chicago. CST Academy exhibits the vital tools and resources needed to help your child reach their greatest potential. I was happy to see the hands-on environment the therapists utilize in a classroom environment. The progress many of the students have made since attending CST Academy is incredible, as this program has proven to benefit everyone who walks through the doors. Overall, CST Academy is composed of the best therapists that will fit your child's needs.
  • I worked with CST Academy over a period of about 10 months. They are absolutely incredible! I also referred a friend to their program and the progress his child made just blew him away! Usually, I don’t write reviews unless I feel strongly compelled one way or the other, and in this case I do! You cannot go wrong here. I would not trust my children to anyone else. Call them and see for yourself. I have seen other programs and there is just no comparison.
  • This program will work wonders for your child’s speech and language. Think of this as a preschool with a language focus. It is run and taught by top-notch speech language pathologists. I personally know the instructors. Each and every instructor is knowledgeable in the field, kind, and has a passion for teaching children! It is an amazing concept.
  • From observing multiple days of CST academy, it is evident that it is an incredible program. Highly trained speech-language pathologists run the program. It tailors to each kid specifically within a group setting, so the children make unbelievable gains! I highly recommend CST academy to anyone who is considering it!
