There is a 'mood-Bell Learning Center in San Fran., the specialize in one-to-one tutoring and small group... You could call them for a referral, or recommendation for both your inquiries. They are headquartered in San Louis Obispo.

University Psychological Associates in Sacramento does Psycho evals and therapy for AD/HD and learning disabilities... they could be a good start for your referrals.

I was referred to Stanford (Lucille Salter Packard Clinic)

and my son was diagnosed there. Other places that were recommended

for testing were the M.I.N.D. institue in , U.C.S.F. Lagley Porter

Psychiatric Institure and Oakland Children's hospital. This was 5 years

ago though, so the info may be out of date.

These places are often heavily booked, so it is good to tell them

you will take a cancelled appointment (if you can.) We got in fairly

quickly doing that.

Who is good at Stanford to see? We need local resources surrounding Central California. I thought Oakland Children's had an autism clinic. Does anyone know of specific names of clinics or doctors in Fresno, Stanford, Santa Barbara, or Ventura County/Oxnard area? We are trying to expand our referral list from this area...

Thanks!

No none at all.

We are going to start him at a facility in

Lodi after the

first of the year.

We used their services for a summer before

he started a head start program and they worked wonders with his articulation,

so we are putting him into their building

blocks program one day a week

They work on social and speech issues in

small age appropriate groups ….8 kids with two instructors.

I think it is a 1 ½ or 2 hours

session and the cost is $90 month

The outfit is called SPEECH THERAPY

ASSOSCIATES

Hope this helps

I did not get any feedback. How is the MIND Institute at ? Everyone here, in San Obispo says they have heard the MIND Institute is wonderful, but, of course, no one has ventured that far north to find out....

My grandson was assessed there and as far

as I know they were wonderful. However, they are apparently not available for

follow up or services

I will check with my daughter on it as she

may have more input

The MIND Institue is listed on my (admiteddly somewhat old) sheet

as one of the best places to get a diagnosis in Northern California,

along with Stanford and UCSF.

Hi again….This was my daughter’s

input on The mind Institute

…….It is a great diagnosing

facility. They have clinical trails if you qualify and plenty of education if

you are seeking it as a medical professional, teacher and sometimes parent.

Their Lecture Series is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about what is being

discovered in the Autism Spectrum disorder research field. I would definitely

suggest pushing to get in and get evaluated there. They are primarily a

research facility.

My grandson was assessed there and as far

as I know they were wonderful. However, they are apparently not available for

follow up or services

I will check with my daughter on it as she

may have more input
