Does anyone here have any information regarding the California Diagnostic Center? Good or bad? Our SELPA has requested that we participate in referring our son there for evaluations. I am suspicious of anything our county recommends because they have given us so many reasons to feel we can not trust them. They have tried to withdraw our son’s eligibility for services using unethical and illegal means in the past. We went through a SELPA mediation last October and I thought things had been resolved but it looks like they may be trying to manipulate things again. I’m concerned that they are now trying to make their position look more legitimite by using the Diagnostic Center. My son has been in early intervention programs since before he was DX with autism at age 3. He is doing better than anyone ever expected but he still needs support to continue to make progress. He is so bright and full of potential… I’m afraid that in the administrations effort to retaliate against our advocating for our son that they could cause long term damage to him and our family.
I hear they are good.
