[quote=Anonymous]I disagree about the quality. As in any career, you are going to find people who are great, some that are so so and some that are not great. The school based SLP's are stretched thin with their caseloads and for artic stuff your child will be pulled from the classroom (usually during science or social studies) and with 2-3 other kids. I would go private if your insurance covers. You will be done faster. And depending on the sounds errors, your child might not qualify for school based whereas for private they usually will. Not every school team will give services based on how it effects a child socially.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PT who responded above. I don’t mean to imply the therapists aren’t as good. They just don’t have the time and resources to offer what someone in a private clinic can. There’s a big difference in overall quality.[/quote]

This. Also speech therapy delivered in public schools simply has a lower standard required of it.  That's not a knock on good speech therapists in public schools, it's the reality that schools don't provide more than federal law requires. [/quote][/quote]
