- Re: Looking for good SLP in CT

[Guest guest]

Hi

I would push hard for the one on one aide for Sammy. has one

and luckily we didn't have to fight too hard...he literally needs

help with everything still - even sitting on the floor and eating

still.

My dh's family is from Torrington! Small world!

We have been the whole doctor testing route both at CCMC and at

Yale. I'd be happy to help with any doctor questions for you.

We've been through 3 neurologists and 2 geneticists to date.

sees Dr. Anne Milanese (dev. pediatrician) at CCMC and she is

wonderful. Feel free to email me offline if you want to chat about

any CT things!!
