CCLLC Avalon (C) is a program designed to promote optimal skill development of preschoolers who have known developmental disabilities or are in high-risk groups for language and learning disabilities, and typically developing peers. Avalon ensures a stable and language- rich environment to allow all students to benefit from the program. In addition to providing direct services to the child, we are dedicated to training parents or caregivers in methods to enhance skill development through everyday activities. We believe that the engagement and involvement of family in the treatment process is crucial to success and that parents are full partners in the intervention process.

CCLLC provides a transdisciplinary, comprehensive and coordinated approach to providing services to children and their families using a variety of highly qualified professional staff to provide individualized training, support, and education to children and their families.

Ultimately, the purpose of the program is to maximize the skill development in the five developmental areas including physical, cognitive, language and speech, psychosocial, and self-help in the least amount of time, with the least intervention and with maximum involvement of family and community supports (natural supports) in the most natural environment.

In all services, Avalon is committed to quality, efficiency and teamwork.

Evaluation is conducted on an ongoing basis using a transdisciplinary approach in an arena format. Record reviews, formal evaluation tools, and clinical observation are used to document developmental levels.
