[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you say where you DD was evaluated? Because it may be a fancy children's hospital, but that doesn't mean its one of the top places for autism assessment.

You need another ADOS with someone experienced with toddlers and who will also take into account videos of your DD if you think her behavior will be very different with the testers. You said you were considering the Camaratas; why not instead go to one of the actual autism clinics at Vanderbilt? They have a clinic for very young kids that might be worth checking out?

[b]If the concern is language, they are best off with the Camarata's.[/b]  Its an easy trip and even private pay, its far cheaper than an evaluation here.[/quote]

That is your opinion. Also, aren't the Camaratas still in Nashville? That is where Vanderbilt is, so the trip is exactly the same. I can't speak to the cost and nor should anyone else. That is between OP and her insurance company.[/quote]

The Camarata’s do nothing but write a one time report and pat themselves on the back. There’s no follow up report and much of what they do is a nonverbal IQ test which you could also find here. [/quote]
