[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the therapy that they prescribe for your child isn't going well and you have questions they just ghost you.
I don't know of any other clinics that do that.[/quote]

[b]They were hard to get ahold of but did not ghost us. Camarata phone conferences into two IEP s, Mary helped us several times with the school district. Their language disorder expertise is hard to come by elsewhere. [/b][/quote]

How long ago was this?  There are lots of great clinicians in this area.[/quote]

Mary Camarata and Stephen practice separately now.  She's in private practice but she generally only takes the easier cases as she referred us to her husband.  He is doing way to many things to keep a good focus on clinical practice.[/quote]

Not our experience at all. No one helped with any IEP process or even returned our phone calls or emails.
I don't think that they advertise that as an actual service that they typically provide - your family just got lucky.
I think a trip to see them is good for a parents piece of mind but it doesn't do much to benefit the child because there is little follow up.[/quote]

That is exactly why we went for piece of mind.  I think they pick a select group of kids/parents and go out of their way to help those who have been with them for years.  Mary is probably better about it.  I had heard it is a service they provide but I think either only Mary does it or it is something they did years ago as they used to practice together before he went to Vanderbilt.   We went to have an outsider review what we and the providers were doing to make sure we were doing everything we could for our child and see if they had any adjustments or suggestions to do it in a way better for our child.
