I was deeply disappointed with the evaluation provided by this specialist. My child was referred to…read moreDr. Haleigh Scott for a secondary assessment, but the process felt dismissive and lacked the thoroughness required for a complex developmental diagnosis. The conclusion appeared to be based entirely on a brief, one-hour observation, despite a previous diagnosis and an extensive, documented clinical history. When I attempted to provide context regarding my child's history and specific social struggles, my concerns were laughed off and ignored. I found out later that the standard of care or best practice for these evaluations typically involves consulting with the child's teachers and therapists (who spend more time with them) to get a holistic view. This provider made no effort to gather outside clinical or educational input. I found the physician's bedside manner to be unprofessional. She was unwilling to engage in a meaningful dialogue regarding my child's documented history. The evaluation process felt rushed, and was finalized before I had the opportunity to ensure all relevant behavioral data was considered. I also have to question whether the association with the referring body may have impacted this provider's neutrality--e.g. the Alta California Sacramento chapter, under the legal guidance of Robin Black, which is known to turn away as many children as possible. I would advise families--especially those whose children may mask symptoms or have nuanced social presentations--to seek a different provider if they have the choice. A diagnosis should be based on a comprehensive history, not a snapshot in time.

Where do I start? this school is bright, cheerful and clean staffed by competent, friendly, patient…read moretutors and the ABA is consistent and effective. They expect more from the kiddos and they get it. Tutors keep the kids engaged in one on one adaptive lessons and you can tell they actually enjoy what they do (the kids know it too). The I/T and Center Based programs are focused on that golden period of 0-5yrs it's designed to instruct parents as well and keeps them in the loop.- no veil of secrecy... Just common sense and caring instruction. The sense of Worry for the safety for your kiddos that was so prevalent in our district schools was not here. The kids know they are safe and in a great place and can begin to relax and learn. Everyone is well informed, kind and focused on the well being and instruction of each child. This school is truly a gem.

So far we are very happy with ABC.

We felt like we had little options since ABC's center based program was full but when the program director heard about my son's situation she offered to make a spot in the program for him. My son started the center based program two weeks ago and we're already seeing amazing things. He's now sitting down at home to eat meals, waving correctly, and his eye contact and response to name is improving. He just absolutely loves being here and we feel at ease leaving him because we know he is in good hands. We thought he would cry when we dropped him off but he did not, instead he cried when we picked him up because he was having so much fun lol.

He pointed me towards a local organization that did adult diagnosis, but he also encouraged me to navigate Kaiser Permanente's process since that was my health insurance provider.

I went to the Eating Recovery Center Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for a total of eight…read moreweeks. This program was wonderful. I will start off by saying that it is true, that you cannot undo eleven years of an eating disorder in eight weeks, but you can walk away with a lot of knowledge. Through this program, I learned why my digestive system wasn't working the way it should be due to my Ed behaviors, I learned about nutrition, skills, nourishing my body, an anti-diet culture approach to health, and therapy skills. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with other pods (Washington, Oregon, etc) due to California's pod being small. It was great hearing the stories of others. While we all may have struggled with different disorders/behaviors, we all could relate in so many ways. Cooking group was originally intimidating, but over time it became my favorite. I also need to give a special shout out to the dietician, Lauren. I'm going to miss her so much. She made nutrition, cooking group, and the overall program so much fun. There were times where I really wanted to just toss my hat in and give up, but Lauren because Lauren was such a light during my process I was like well dang if I do that then I'm probably going to miss out on some good knowledge she's going to drop. She definitely changed my life when it comes to diet culture, understanding the importance of ALL food groups, and food freedom. If you would have told me I would have some animal crackers just chillin in my kitchen right now, I wouldn't have believed you. My experience at this program was great and I am eternally grateful for the individuals I met through this program and for how the program has helped me progress in my recovery. Thank you all!!!!
