We had ours done in Nashville when my son was 4. Now he's 7. He sat on my lap while Mary gave him the Leiter nonverbal IQ test, which we still can't find anyone in Atlanta to do. She was amazing in connecting to my son and showing us all what he could do.Verbal IQ tests had been disastrous, but he could do so much visually that I knew he could find a place in the work world and even in school. She was so reassuring about what was inside him that other evaluators had not found with their verbal instruments. It changed our lives, the direction of future therapy, our belief in the valid differential diagnosis. Her husband came in at the end and did the CARS, which he is very well qualified to do. We had sent video and paperwork and watched his CARS eval. through the window. Dr Camarata is well qualified nationally -- google him. He has done so many of them that I really appreciated his expertise. He also gave us a letter with the CARS score. We followed their recommendations for therapy and school plan -- went with Floortime. Even though the CARS was elevated above most kids, it wasn't high enough for autism or spectrum. Yes, my son seems odd to many people.  But now I know and can advocate better for him! Best money I ever spent on psycho-ed or therapy (and I'm nearing $20,000 now). Can't say enough good about how they helped us and our latetalking son. Time will tell if Mary or Stephen is correct on when his speech will catch up (her prediction was sooner than his), but we are on the timeline they drew, for sure. Gifted, knowledgeable, research based, experienced evaluators for latetalking children.[/quote]
