Comment:
I didn't feel helped... I felt even more frustrated when the evaluation was over. I needed behavioral help with my daughter and after the evaluation they said yes she has PDD. I knew that already, now what do I do about it? I felt frustrated, but their resource room for toys and books are the reason I gave it 3 stars, this was more helpful then any of the other services that I recieved.

Their absolute avoidance of anything biomedical is a sad diservice to the autism community

Comment:
A big waste of taxpayer dollars. They do provide a valuable service in free diagnostic evaluations but the waiting list for our son was 8 months just to get diagnosed. They should take all the money they spend on bureaucracy and lame training sessions and devote it all to providing diagnostic evaluations throughout the state.
