in this doc you can find an official description of the speech program

In the doc below you can click on the individual school name and see what sped are offered. Look in the large box on the right at the bottom. You probably don't want to have to go through all the schools but it will do the trick. Look how Goshen is listed and then look for the same info for other schools.

Thank you for this link. I read through the PDF. Goshen is listed as PreK language disabilities and PreK language classes. It is the only school listed as such. There are a few other schools that are listed as PreK language classes: Beall, Cannon Road, Dufief, and Mill Creek. Not a lot of options!

At the risk of sounding like a nut, I want to make a suggestion. One of my kids had significant expressive and receptive delays but MCPS would never approve a program, just IEP at the regular school. Years and years of fighting with them and paying for outside help (speech therapy, tutoring, reading programs, writing help) but one thing I didn't expect to help that I think really did: music lessons. Really. Read about the links between music and language.

Did your kids want to take music lessons? And what kind did they or you choose?

This is something for me to consider in the future. I'm not sure that music lessons will really hold my 3 yr olds attention at the moment.
