[quote=Anonymous]Kids with speech issues tend to get bullied at school. Not always, but be prepared and keep your ear to the ground. Our kid had a light speech impediment and got bullied in the early grades, then got referred to an eval with the in-school speech therapist. Our kid had an in-school speech IEP from from second grade on. Our kid had articulation issues, as well. Never heard of the "low functioning" 20% rule?

Always go to the teacher's conferences. Ask the teacher how your child is doing socially. Does he have friends in class, etc.? Does your child speak in class (kids with speech issues can be very quiet like a mouse if they feel self conscious)?

Also ask your child every Friday how school is going. Listen closely. If your child is getting made fun of for the way he speaks, it will be revealed to you. My child didn't want to go to school anymore. If it happens, then contact the teacher.

I believe schools only have a certain number of IEP spots, but those spots do open up as students master speech elements.  [/quote]
