[quote=Anonymous]There have been posts here before about the cost or waiting time of evals for autism. We recently have been getting my son's therapy started at least for some anxiety, but it has been recommended that for some of his other issues, like signs of PDA, it's worth an eval to understand the whole picture. Sure, I want to know what is going on with him, but will a diagnosis or assessment really make a big difference? He does not need an IEP, and has typically thrived in school. It's other daily life things. Should we just try therapy for a while and see if that helps a bit first? Is there ever a reason to not get an eval? After realizing not just the cost but also how much time the assessments themselves take, I just want to be really sure before we go through with it. I'd love to hear your experiences and choices to get one or not, the difference it made, etc. especially for kids who did not need a diagnosis for any specific accomodations.[/quote]
