[QUOTE="bystander, post: 37678, member: 3614"] Thanks Marg! Oh yeah, I've done the Childbrain thing - starting at age 3 every six months until the age of 5. He's scored on and off (a lot more off than on). Seems to track with what the neuro told me. That's a really good assessment tool in my opinion. Another board I'm on - the parents use it and say the same thing ... results very close to what they're told. In the US, it isn't [i]quite[/i] so much the type of specialist - but the experience and reputation of the specialist. The neuro I took him to was a well-known-to-autism one in New York. He spent 2 hours with DS - [i]most[/i] of it evaluating play/social skills and cognitive. He was evaluation'd at 3 years 8 months. The psychologist on staff at our Occupational Therapist (OT)/ST clinic told me about a year ago that it wasn't worth going for another evaluation because he was getting all the therapy he needed. But because of his anxiety, my Occupational Therapist (OT) decided to kabitz with the psychologist to see how we can get him to cope better in similar situations. I've had some talks with DS, trying different angles and it seems to be working ... at least [i]he[/i] feels more comfortable which is all I care about. I still toy with taking him out and may just do that if things deteriorate. [/QUOTE]
