[quote=Anonymous]Crazily enough, OP here.  It is so strange going back to read my initial email from over a year ago, especially given where we are now in our journey.  It turns out there was something (very) wrong with my child.  I initially didn't mind Dr. Glass as much as I thought I would based on other people's warnings.  While she wasn't warm and fuzzy, I thought she was very professional and extremely thorough and gave us lots of time together.  She observed DD for a while and then talked us through the appropriate stages of development and gave us good ideas about how to promote DD's development.  She directed us towards Early Intervention, and through that program we got set up with wonderful therapists.  DD, who has a genetic disorder, now has a full team of great therapists.  We have seen Dr. Glass twice since then, and I've finally decided it's time to part ways.  Now that I have my bearings about the special needs world, and more importantly, know my child better, I don't see that Dr. Glass has much to offer us.  We have a good therapy team, and I know DD is behind.  Of course she is, she has a genetic disorder!  I don't need someone else to tell me that.  I feel like a sh*tastic parent every time I walk out of her office, even though I know I am doing a great job.  Her recommendations are not very helpful (personal favorite was the recommendation that DD chew on hen bones to help facilitate her chew).

I would keep your appointment for the evaluation, but just don't expect a big hug at the end of the session.  She is a good way to establish a benchmark.

Good luck![/quote]
