Why CST Academy Supports DDRF

At CST Academy, we understand the importance of early intervention and specialized support for children with developmental differences. Our therapeutic preschool program provides a nurturing, structured environment designed to help children build essential skills in communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation.

How CST Academy Helps Children Thrive

1. Comprehensive Therapeutic Preschool
   Our program blends structured learning with individualized support, ensuring that each child receives the care and attention they need to succeed.

2. Multi-Disciplinary Approach
   CST Academy offers a wide range of evidence-based therapies—including Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Feeding Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). These services are integrated into a comprehensive program that supports all areas of a child’s development.

3. Small Class Sizes for Personalized Learning
   With a low student-to-teacher ratio, children receive individualized attention in a supportive environment that fosters confidence and engagement.

4. Parent Involvement and Support
   We believe that parent education and involvement play a crucial role in a child’s success. Our team offers ongoing communication, coaching, and workshops to help families reinforce strategies at home.
