Not sure. I know that when DS6 was 3 and we were kind of freaking out a little about all the stuff he was doing we contacted CTY as they do a consultant thing for $10 or something like that. Honestly it wasn't really a help, they just listened and provided some resources for things he could do in the future when he was older (DYS, etc.) It was basically a waiting game where we stayed at home and followed his lead and then waited until a little before school to do testing at 4yo. (We would have waited until 5 but needed to do testing before school because we knew Kindergarten would not work for him). So you may want to check into CTY, or DYS just not sure what all of a help it will be at this point. There are so many unknowns, and not a lot of resources where she is now anyhow. I am guessing they won't have a lot to offer unless you are looking for on-line resources or something like that. But it may be helpful and not too expensive so don't have much to lose.
