We are having Katelyn tested at a top autism diagnostic center. We met with the doctor on Monday for the parent interview. The next step is to have Katelyn evaluated, but it may not be until January :( We are contemplating meeting with one of the interns since they would be available sooner than the doctor.
The most important thing right now is that we get a diagnosis. Once we have the diagnosis, Katelyn will get SO many services to help her, such as ABA (applied behavioral analysis) therapy and more.
We have also added a developmental educator and an occupational therapist to her Early Intervention plan, so now she will have speech, dev. ed., OT and play group weekly. We have also bought her flashcards and speech videos and she is adding more words to her vocabulary on a daily basis! We are doing all that we can to help her in the interim while we wait for the evaluation.
