[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 526633, member: 11791"] I guess it depends on where you end up. If we could ONLY have gotten the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and auditory testing done first... I would NEVER have come within a million miles of this board. Wouldn't have needed 10 years of battling down doors and trying to find answers. Wouldn't be still dealing with the fallout. IF. (we tried. the testing we needed wasn't available when we needed it, OR on the next several rounds... this is not a blame game) What I've seen of other's experiences, along with my own? If the child DOES have a "killer" diagnosis - a single really big elephant in the room - then starting with a comprensive evaluation may make sense. But... if there is no "killer" diagnosis... even our two comprehensive evaluators told us that, if we hadn't done the Occupational Therapist (OT) testing first, the report would have had more questions than answers... And of course... until you get to the end of the process, you have no idea which one you're dealing with. Which means? You have no option but to go with your Mommy Gut. Because there is no formal defined "best" process for most of what we deal with, in terms of getting dxes. (treatment based on diagnosis is a different story, and even then... ) [/QUOTE]
