I also wanted to add that having an avaluation is important, but be
aware that when searching for someone to evaluate your child
payatention to how well they connect with your child, because if you
just get someone who will give you a list of scores, they are not
looking at the whole picture and emotions also are important. Testing
all aspects of your child function is crucial. I do have some
resources I can share off the list 231-224-7063 Thanks for all of your
great thoughts on this matter. Please  let us all support one another
with a positive spirit. Thanks
