At Capitol School of Austin, we give students with all types of communication challenges the chance to reach their full potential. We believe every child deserves a learning environment where their unique strengths are celebrated and nurtured. A school where learning differences are embraced and every child thrives. At CSA we provide specialized education tailored for children with language-based learning differences, fostering confidence and academic success. Our dedicated staff provides a personalized approach that focuses on each student’s strengths and individual development. Who We Serve We specialize in educating students ages 2.5 - 12 years old with language-based learning differences such as expressive/receptive language disorders, Dyslexia, and ADHD.. Our small class sizes (preschool 8:2/ school age 12:2 student-to-teacher ratio) ensure personalized attention and support. Educational Philosophy & Approach Using multi-sensory instructional methods, our educators tailor learning to meet each child's needs. Students benefit from individualized treatment plans, assistive technologies, and integrated therapies including speech-language/ occupational/ and music therapy.
