Atlanta advice needed please

[Guest guest]

We live in Cumming GA and need to have our child evaluated to determine if he is

on spectrum or what on earth is going on! Ha. I need names for child

development pediatrician or child psychologists in the Metro Atlanta area that

you would recommend. I did contact Dr Bussey but they aren't seeing new

patients till 2012!!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I also

welcome any people you would NOT use so we don't waste time and money. Thanks

Thank you! He has been tested through the school (he is now 4) but they have

noticed other signs so they recommended him getting furthering testing since

they couldn't diagnose him. They said if he was diagnosed then services through

the school/state would be for as long as he needed them and not just through 8

yrs which all he would get now with the SDD. Thanks again for the advice

My dd just had an eval in Jan. for Medicaid purposes.We went to see Dr. Gale in Marietta,GA.

She was super nice and extremely knowledgably about autism spectrum and the whole bio-med world.Her friend has a child affected by autism so she knows the pain and struggles we do through every day.

I wish I had met her years ago when my dd was diagnosed.....

Natasha.
