Quote I Live By :

"Remember, an alphabet does not make a child. Your child is your child, a diagnosis does not change who they are, just points you to places where you might learn more about your child."

"Babies are not all born healthy, and whether they have 10 fingers and 10 toes is really not so important. It's all just part of parenting. If you aren't willing to accept having a child with a problem, you just shouldn't have kids because the odds are there. Most people out there aren't taught this and until you have something hit you up close in the face, you just aren't aware that it doesn't always go the way you expect. We have learned and grown from our experience so far. When you are hit with something like this, it doesn't mean we aren't good parents. It just means that we are learning about something that no parent ever expects to have to learn about."

Developmental Pediatrician/Educational Vs. Medical

Published by andnowtheres2 at 10:11 am under autism Edit This

Just my experience with getting “medical diagnosis” in the area and my two cents . . . What you need to know is that an educational vs. medical diagnosis is a huge jump, no matter what anyone says. It varies across the country.

1. Dr. Wendy Ross - saw a posting a couple of months on an Autism board I part of and it was mentioned about Albert Einstein. So called her office the first time and received a call later on and the wait is from 1 ½ - 2 years.

2. CHOP Autism Center - I think the experience has been either great or really bad for parents. I have completely lost all hope in their autism department. I currently go there for the other specialists (cardiology and orthopedics). Also, I did call CHOP for there Autism center, my son was dx at 3 1/2 years old PDD(Autism) by Dr Kruger at the local IU called the Catch Team. They will not take any patients over 3 1/2 years old, plus they were indicating a one year wait, if you fell into the age limit.

3. Karen E. Senft, M.D. with Good Sheperd Rehabilitation in Allentown - a friend recommended her and we are to be seen as soon as November.

4. SPARC partnered with the West Chester University Dr Jennifer Dawson - Be prepared to pay out of pocket (close to $2000-$3000) other than that their office staff is wonderful about getting back to you and answering any questions.
