[quote=Anonymous]I've been reading all these posts about the Cameratas, and people seem to have had such positive experiences, but I find it a little bit befuddling what exactly makes them different, and why knowing your kid is a late talker versus a PDD-NOS dx makes any therapeutic difference, when the PDD bucket (which I know has been removed from the DSM) is so broad anyway. I have a 10 yo with an (educational) autism diagnosis and some language/social communication delays, and I know a lot of kids with similar profiles (often dx'd in preschool as PDD-NOS). As I've watched the dc I know grow up, they all have become more typical in their language use and are most in mainstream settings with some supports. As a dev psych said to me years ago, "These kids do pretty well as they grow up, regardless of what therapies you do." Some have NVLD dxs now, some are ADHD, some are more Aspergers-like....it's just that the types of therapies they get aren't really all that different, and that while they have different profiles, the differences are not that astounding.[/quote]
