[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is going into 1st grade. Last year, her private school’s learning specialist recommended speech therapy for articulation issues that the learning specialist said were impacting her reading abilities.

We contacted a private provider her school recommended. They did a full evaluation and she started speech services during the school day.

This continued over the summer.

Then a couple of weeks ago, that provider said they had staffing challenges and couldn’t provide speech services anymore.

We contacted her school—that has a new learning specialist this year—and they gave us a list of recommended providers.

We contacted one and set up an initial evaluation, which the provider wants to do during the school day.

Now her school is saying she can’t receive services during the day because she doesn’t have a “formal evaluation and isn’t language exempt.” They’re saying she would have to do it after school.

This provider has no after school availability.

I emailed her school back and asked for clarification on what evaluation she needs and what changed from last year, but has anyone heard of something like this happening before?

She really needs services and I feel like her school went from recommending services to acting as though these services aren’t really necessary.[/quote]
