I know you're on this board sometimes, do I figured it was worth paging you 
You are in the Denver area, correct? We are in Denver, too, and DS2 is currently in ST and OT (for feeding issues) through Rocky Mountain Human Services. He is going to be evaluated by the ACT team in May to evaluate for ASD, SPD, etc. did you use this service to get your daughter evaluated? Or did you go through a developmental pedi? Should I go to a dev. pedi in addition to the ACT eval? Our service coordinator has made it sound like this is the only eval we would need before starting child find at 3, but I just wasn't sure if that was your experience as well. If you did use a dev. pedi, I'd love a recommendation for where to start looking one.
Thanks!

From my own experience I would go ahead with the evals if you want to know or think it will benefit you in the form of services.
I had several professionals (his school SLP, his pedi) tell me that they did not think DS was on the spectrum
