[quote=Anonymous]We lived in Germany and our daughter was not talking by age 3 - I got frustrated with the German approach of wait and see.  After extensive research, as you 
all know, we found at the time - both Steve and Mary Camarata working at the Late Talkers Clinic.  From our initial assessment in 2006 - they both were involved. 
Mary did perform most of the testing = Steve was in/ out - and both sat with us for the evaluation... which was such a joy to hear that my daughter was just... a late
talker. No other issues.  I know I am a very very lucky mother!  However, Mary then spend a few hours with me teaching me how to help support her speech in a very
specific type of therapy that worked very very well for us - recasting with appropriate rewards, a few minutes a day.   When we moved to the US in 2008, we quickly set 
up a follow-up appointment in 2009 and did find that Mary was more present in this meeting, however at the time both were there.   And as mentioned in another comment,
our daughter is 9 now and she is almost at appropriate speech for a 9 year old.   I can not say enough about the Camarata's work - and I frankly found Mary and Steve 
to be interchangeable.  [/quote]
