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.
