Recker is the 1st in our family
to be accepted to an Ivy League
College, wow and he's only 18 months
old--I told you he was smart,
fun and happy---- Ok to be honest
he was accepted to the Yale Autism child
study center. Kayla had a 2 hour interview over the
phone with them last week about them wanting to do
a research study on Recker. We have been praying
for our little Recker,and even fasted for him Sunday.
They will do an intense 2 day study, and will write
up an average 50 page reccomendation and review for
them. It will include what we should do, intervention
and therapy wise, for him for the next couple years.
Then between the ages of 3-4 we come back and do it
again, then again from the ages of 8-9. It is so hard
for a lot of peopleto get into this program/study and
usually have to pay close to $5000 because insurances
wont cover it. BUT because Recker is so young and we
caught it so early, we will actually be compensated
from YALE (not $5000, not even close...but its better
than having to PAY THEM) each time we go. Anyways we will
be going July......YES I said "WE" I get to go too,
I'm so excited that they are including me and since I
fly for free it helps out.I took all this information
off of Kayla's blog-

"The Yale Child Study Center's Developmental Disabilities Clinic provides a
range of services for children with pervasive developmental disorders. This clinic
builds on a long tradition of research and service at Yale for children and adolescents
with autism and related disorders and their families. Comprehensive evaluations
are provided by a multidisciplinary team of highly experienced clinicians. These
evaluations take place at the Child Study Center over a two-day period, and focus
on issues of diagnosis and educational programming/intervention. Each evaluation
has three components: psychological testing, speech-language testing, and a psychiatric assessment. The assessment team works together to provide a report which is typically
provided ten to twelve weeks after the assessment. A significant portion of the report is
devoted to recommendations for intervention and educational planning. Depending
on the needs in a specific case, referrals to other professionals, e.g., pediatric neurologists
or geneticists, can be provided."

"in addition to our long-standing clinical program for children
with developmental disorders such as Autism and Asperger
syndrome, the Yale Child Study Center is one of the foremost
research centers for autism spectrum disorders
in the world. Several of our active protocols involve an
assessment of your child's cognitive functioning and social
communication characteristics. The assessment, an oral
feedback, and written report are provided to research
participants. The assessment is tailored to the research protocol
but may be able to start you on
your way while you still pursue a more tailored evaluation for
your child through clinic."

This is so great. Autism is my passion. I love those little guys (and the big ones that I work with). They are amazing! I'm interested to hear what they have to say. Good luck!
Please keep me posted on this journey. I am extremely interested and want to learn along with you. A lot of this is new...even though I have a MA in Learning Disablilities....this is a new frontier. He is beautiful, loved, and full of potential...always remember that!
