[quote=Anonymous]We had 3 meetings and I did 2 of them with ADHD kid. The second one she did with dad. You should expect to be at these meetings - they are not therapy.

They are a bit slow with follow up but overall we did 3 meetings (copay for each) and have an ASD evaluation scheduled for end of march ($600). This seems fast and cheap compared to what I've heard elsewhere. I do have a diagnosis letter in hand already with the adhd after a month or so of first contact (maybe 6 weeks). I think that's pretty good. I had to ask for the letter [we need it for a 504 - and I know we do not need a diagnosis but our school wanted one and this was easier than an appeal].  We are waiting also on scheduling an OT.

We filled out the parent Vanderbilt scale and declined to have her teachers fill one out too. We did not think that was useful for a 16 year old in many ways. I would absolutely involve the school in this.

I have a lot of gripes with 504 process in high school for FCPS (maybe just our school). I'm hoping an actual diagnosis helps. We haven't done any meds, they want to think about my child's sensory issues with an OT before anything further. We're fine with that for now.[/quote]
