Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 My son was diagnosed in Macon by Dr. Young. She is a Developmental Pediatrician.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Mike and others: I have heard through the grapevine that Dr. Young, whom my son sees, is not taking new patients, but if you want to call to confirm that , her phone number is 633-8009 (I have it memorized lol) . . . . I do not have any other ideas for you at this time, but I do know that Awakenings has gotten excellent reviews and is new in Macon. I have heard through a different grapevine (how do I know all these grapevines!!!) that they have a 2 month waiting list. Good luck and if you wish to discuss this off list, write me at my email address as I live in Macon, like, I assume Mike does. . . . blessings, >> From: taylorandandrew <cindypikecharter (DOT) net>> Subject: Two Great Opportunities this Weekend> To: autism-georgia@ yahoogroups. com> Date: Monday, November 3, 2008, 7:05 AM>> AMC Entertainment( R) and the Autism Society of America> have teamed up to bring families affected by autism a special> opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting> environment on a monthly basis.>> With Sensory Friendly Films, the movie auditoriums will have> their lights brought up and the sound turned down,> and the AMC "Silence is Golden" policy will not be enforced.>> Three theaters in the Atlanta market have been selected to> host "Sensory Friendly Films".> AMC Discover Mills 18> 5900 Sugarloaf Parkway> Lawrenceville, GA 30043> >> AMC Phipps Plaza 14> 3500 Peachtree Road NE> Atlanta, GA 30326> >> AMC Southlake 24> 7065 Mount Zion Circle> Morrow, GA 30260> >> For tickets to this unique experience,> please visit the theater's box office the day of the event.>> MADAGASCAR 2> SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH - 10:00am>> and>> Autism 101> Seminar and Resource Fair> for Newly Diagnosed Families>> Saturday,November 8, 2008> Stonemill Church> 855 Northbrook Parkway> Suwanee, Georgia 30024> visit www.stonemillchurch .org for directions>> "Autism 101" is a seminar and resource fair sponsored by the Autism> Society of America - Greater Georgia Chapter for families of newly> diagnosed children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi, I live in Warner Robins/Macon. Try Dr. Duke or Dr. , they are DAN physicians. We used Markus for several years and got no results. Dr. Duke & also have a great ABA therapist. Their clinic is called awakenings medical center 471-0710. You can look them up on the web at www.awakeningsmedicalcenter.com. Dr. Duke's son is diagnosed, so she definitely understands. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I too have my son in speech therapy through Babies Can't Wait, and we haven't seen any improvement in language through their efforts (he has been with them for 6 months). I think that they just do not know the best way to teach a child with Autism, because they do not learn in the same way as other children. I have just started my son with ABA therapy, and their approach is much different and completely tailored to the child's needs. While we have only had one session, I can see how the ABA approach will be better suited for my son and will help teach him in the way he needs to be taught. I am excited to see what will happen over time....I have heard wonderful things about ABA, so I am hoping it will work for my son, too! Good Luck :-) e To: autism-georgia Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:30:47 AMSubject: Re: Needing to be Eval Hi, My son has been diagnosed with a mild form of Autism, PDD.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I did the Babies Can't Wait also, and it didn't help my child either. But it wasn't because they didn't know how to teach her, it was mainly because of lack of trying. My daughter's speech therapist at the time made every excuse not to come. Our appointment was at 10:00 am, it was supposed to be for at least an hour. She would come at 10:30 always came late, and always tried to find an excuse to leave (i.e. her alarm went off at home, etc.) I complained but even that was slow. I would only recommend Babies Can't Wait only as a last resort. Does anyone out there have positive stories about them? -Robbie > > > > From: taylorandandrew <cindypikecharter (DOT) net> > > Subject: Two Great Opportunities this Weekend > > To: autism-georgia@ yahoogroups. com > > Date: Monday, November 3, 2008, 7:05 AM > > > > AMC Entertainment( R) and the Autism Society of America > > have teamed up to bring families affected by autism a special > > opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting > > environment on a monthly basis. > > > > With Sensory Friendly Films, the movie auditoriums will have > > their lights brought up and the sound turned down, > > and the AMC " Silence is Golden " policy will not be enforced. > > > > Three theaters in the Atlanta market have been selected to > > host " Sensory Friendly Films " . > > AMC Discover Mills 18 > > 5900 Sugarloaf Parkway > > Lawrenceville, GA 30043 > > > > > > AMC Phipps Plaza 14 > > 3500 Peachtree Road NE > > Atlanta, GA 30326 > > > > > > AMC Southlake 24 > > 7065 Mount Zion Circle > > Morrow, GA 30260 > > > > > > For tickets to this unique experience, > > please visit the theater's box office the day of the event. > > > > MADAGASCAR 2 > > SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH - 10:00am > > > > and > > > > Autism 101 > > Seminar and Resource Fair > > for Newly Diagnosed Families > > > > Saturday,November 8, 2008 > > Stonemill Church > > 855 Northbrook Parkway > > Suwanee, Georgia 30024 > > visit www.stonemillchurch .org for directions > > > > " Autism 101 " is a seminar and resource fair sponsored by the Autism > > Society of America - Greater Georgia Chapter for families of newly > > diagnosed children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 How old is your child. Babies Can't Wait works with them till they are 3 years old then transferred to the school system for evaluation and special needs preschool class and/or special services to be provided. We are seeing a DAN physician (Defeat Autism Now) in Melbourne, FL for our 4 year old son with Dr. Dan Rossignol. What a wonderful experience even though we drove 10 hours to get there to see him. Follow up will be by phone until the 6 month follow up in person again. Melbourne is a beautiful beach area so it is nice to travel there with the family. We are on suppliments, B12 shots, special GF/CF diet ! and going for an EEG by Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. Philbrook this month due to possible seizure disorder. All the suppliments and especially the diet are making a big, big difference for our son. He is in the Special Needs Preschool Classroom in our county here in GA where he receives several times a week OT and Speech therapy. He doesn't speak as of yet, just turning 4 years old this month. We take steps daily towards his recovery and believe strongly in doing all we can for him during these early years. The start at 2 years old was slow but that was the system.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'll have to chime up - at this time - until next Friday we are unsure if my son has Autism but he has been taken into the Babies Can't Wait program for being " deveopmentally delayed " - so far, four visits - I would have to praise them, our speech therapist. He might not be expressing the language more - but I belive, and so does my husband that his receptive language has gotten better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 we had our 4 yo twin girls evaluated at Emory Autism Center this summer and i would not recommend it. the wait was 6 months. We had the eval in July and still don't have a report of the evaluation results. they brought us in for a feedback session to tell us what they found but only gave us a generic 2 page form listing which characterisitics they noted. we've received a bill but no report. andi russell Ruby and Lily's mom From: taylorandandrew <cindypikecharter (DOT) net>Subject: Two Great Opportunities this WeekendTo: autism-georgia@ yahoogroups. comDate: Monday, November 3, 2008, 7:05 AM AMC Entertainment® and the Autism Society of America have teamed up to bring families affected by autism a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis.With Sensory Friendly Films, the movie auditoriums will havetheir lights brought up and the sound turned down, and the AMC "Silence is Golden" policy will not be enforced.Three theaters in the Atlanta market have been selected to host "Sensory Friendly Films".AMC Discover Mills 185900 Sugarloaf ParkwayLawrenceville, GA 30043 AMC Phipps Plaza 143500 Peachtree Road NEAtlanta, GA 30326 AMC Southlake 247065 Mount Zion CircleMorrow, GA 30260For tickets to this unique experience, please visit the theater's box office the day of the event.MADAGASCAR 2SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH - 10:00amandAutism 101Seminar and Resource Fair for Newly Diagnosed FamiliesSaturday,November 8, 2008Stonemill Church855 Northbrook ParkwaySuwanee, Georgia 30024visit www.stonemillchurch .org for directions"Autism 101" is a seminar and resource fair sponsored by the Autism Society of America - Greater Georgia Chapter for families of newly diagnosed children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I like this thread of thought - you figured out an important rule that most parents don't get for at least the first year - not all therapies will work with your child. If it ain't working, fire them and try someone else. In my case, we are on our 4th speech therapist, who was the first one who has made marked progress in 3 years of speech therapy. It took us the first three to identify and resolve avoidance behaviors so that he would want to participate in sessions. My 3rd therapist wanted to quit because she couldn't get past the avoidance, so I doubled up my SLP and special instruction at the same time for five weeks so that my son " couldn't get out of it " .

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi, I am new to the group and have an 8 yr old son diagnosed with Asperger's. We went to the Marcus Institute in July of last year and do not recommend it either. Doctor still wouldn't give us a definitive diagnosis even though he scored a 92 on AS scale. We finally got firm diagnosis using her report along with his behaviors from his pediatrician and pyschologist(sp?). The doctor at Marcus just wanted us to keep bringing him back every month even though we live in Northeast GA and it takes us almost 2 hrs to get there. The lady had to be nuts to think I was making that trip with him every month if I didnt have to. Found a local child pyschologist and she is wonderful and was able to definitely confirm the AS diagnosis.Tabitha and the unique Noah --- Subject: Re: Needing to be EvalTo: autism-georgia Date: Monday, January 19, 2009, 11:58 AM we had our 4 yo twin girls evaluated at Emory Autism Center this summer and i would not recommend it. the wait was 6 months.
