CPSE & CSE Services
Supporting Children and Families Across Nassau & Suffolk Counties
At Theralympic Speech, we provide comprehensive CPSE and CSE evaluations and related therapy services to
support children’s communication, developmental, and educational needs. Our experienced multidisciplinary team
works collaboratively with families, school districts, and providers to create individualized recommendations that help
each child thrive at home, in school, and within the community.
What Are CPSE & CSE Services?
The Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and the Committee on Special Education (CSE) are programs designed to support children who may benefit from special education services and related therapies.
CPSE services are available for preschool-aged children between the ages of 3–5, while CSE services support
school-aged children requiring additional educational and therapeutic assistance.
Our team helps guide families through the evaluation and service process with compassion, professionalism, and individualized care.
