[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... Thank you for the replies.
As soon as I got the Late Talkers book by Camarata I haven't put it down. Those of you that have seen him, did you go to his wife's clinic or to Vanderbilt? This book has really changed my outlook on my so. So whoever mentioned it on here, I can't thank you enough.[/quote]

I first saw them when they worked together at Vanderbilt. Now I've been seeing Mary through her Late Talkers Clinic. I just spoke with her last week about getting the right testing done for my child. For us, she's been a long term resource over the last 10 years (our DS has severe language issues).

They are incredibly knowledgeable. I was working with an allegedly great SLP, but once Mary saw a DVD of a speech session, she told me to stop if I couldn't get the SLP to revamp her treatments. Because it was not child led, my DS spend the whole time fighting.  Luckily , the SLP took the recommendations, and lo and behold, the sessions went great after that. Even the SLP was surprised. I've had multiple issues like that where the school and other "professionals" were handling my child in exactly the wrong way, then doubling down on the method when it didn't work, spiraling my child out of control. Each time, after they followed the Camaratas recommendations, they were like, "Well, gee, that worked."

I was blown away about how much more informed and trained the Camaratas are than any other SLP I've seen. It's actually kind of scary how shallow the knowledge base is of most SLPs.
