[quote=Anonymous]Academic goals can only be included if there is evidence to support that their is a need. SLI should be the code only if the speech/language impairment best reflects the disorder that most impacts the child's needs. If reading and writing evaluations have not been completed, then they should be done to provide documentation that demonstrate that goals in those areas are needed. Elementary Schools in MCPS are notorious for keeping the SLI code as long as possible so that academic and psychological testing doesn't need to be done. Once the student gets to middle school, that won't fly. MS and HS SLPs will not allow academic goals unless there is evidence to support this. If there is evidence, it is very unlikely that SLI is the proper code. When was your last re-evaluation? At around the age of 8-9, it become clear that students who have the SLI code actually have a learning disability and additional goals are added along with the new code.[/quote]
