[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, she is in K.  I thought now was the right time too, especially since when she answers questions in class, she sometimes has to repeat her answer 3 times until the teacher understands.  must be frustrating.
should i ask the teacher or contact someone to do private work?[/quote]

OP,

Public school will not pay for services that don't have an "educational impact," however, if your daughter needs to repeat herself so that the teacher understands her that is definitely an educational impact.  Ask the school to evaluate her.  They should be providing services if she cannot be understood which requires an IEP.

If they don't provide speech therapy, keep at it until they do.  (I would definitely consider private in the meantime at any case b/c the older a child gets the more difficult it is to correct certain things.)

Articulation can be corrected fairly easily, however some sounds may be difficult to make lifelong b/c of the genetic roll of the dice.  This is a straightforward chart of what sounds by when:

Don't stress about it and keep it fun for your DD.
