Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Thanks for the response. That helps.... What dev ped came to your house? Would love to have that instead. He would probably cooperate alot more than in a facility/doctor's office. Where was the hearing test done? Thanks. We went to the Atlanta School for the deaf the first time. --- iloverecess wrote: > 1- When your child/children were diagnosed, did they > go thru developmental testing or was it just taken > from parent interview? > > We had a little bit of everything done.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Hey Caroline, It wasn't a pediatrician it was a psychologist. She was sent by Babies Can't Wait. It was nice to do it at home. When she wanted to ask questions Jake was occupied with his toys/TV. The hearing test was done at ish Rite. --- Caroline Hull wrote: > Thanks for the response.
