[quote=Anonymous]My child was receiving speech through public school services. They discontinued her earlier this year saying they "had no more goals" despite the fact she still has a tongue thrust, replaced F with P and can't make the V sound (comes out B). I declined to terminate and we have been in reevaluations and I am starting to think at our final eligibility meeting she will be found eligible to still receive services this fall in K.

However, to not lose progress, I wanted to get her enrolled in private speech throughout the summer. I called a local therapy place and they said I will need to give them a copy of her IEP with stated goals. The problem is, I don't have that, because the school tried to terminate her IEP and it is only open right now while we are in the reevaluation process with the goal of "maintaining progress." Since I am fairly sure the SLP who did her reevaluation will find that she meets the 25% minimum deficit to receive services, I am hopeful she will get to keep her IEP and receive services in the fall. But I don't know that I will have a completed IEP with defined goals in place before then since it's so close to the end of the school year. If all I have is the IEP placeholder that says "maintaining progress" is her goal but I need her to get the speech over the summer, how do I work that? Any ideas or experiences or workarounds you xs share? I'm already irate at the schools for acting like she has zero speech issues and trying to dismiss her and now that very dismissal is making it difficult for me to even get private therapy! [/quote]
