Yes the child cannot wait on therapy. However, if there is need in the educational setting the school must address this at an IEP meeting. Subject: Re: Coconut Creek Recommendation DiagnosisTo: sList Date: Sunday, January 10, 2010, 6:21 AM

I hear you but in reality until the student gets evaluated by the school psychologist, and then meet again for an interim, can not get services. And we all know how "fast" the school system is so I think she should get private therapy starting now. Ida

Any recommendations in her area for a specialist that can diagnose him correctly. He is having an awful time in school b/c even though he is in Place Program, the teacher thinks that what we see as sensory issues, language communication peculiarities common in ASD, lacking tools to socialize appropriately, fleeting eye contact, etc..., the teacher considers "rudeness and poor parenting skills!" The stories I have heard about this teacher make me think that my 3 year old nephew has much more common sense than her! Who the heck gave this woman an ESE degree?!!! Scary! Recommendations for a GOOD therapy center that takes CMS in Coconut Creek area would also be greatly appreciated. The little one needs PT/OT/Speech and Behavior Therapy (the later one I have already told her would not
