OP - If this speech therapist is young or new to a school setting, you might tell her that it would be beneficial to start of with a positive in reporting to a parent or say nothing at all other than a neutral such as "I am still working on goals with X, and I know he puts forth effort.  Then she might note one thing that is giving him trouble or that you might work on."  Her attitude could well carryover to working with youngsters who struggle.

Really this person sounds like she could use some social and communication skills herself.  She needs to be told that reaching speech goals can take varying times for student sand the last things parents need to hear is negativity.  Also, if you do not want to sort of offer positive suggestions, then you might just tell her the continuous negative reports are not a help so that you would rather have no comment and read a written report on goals progress every month or quarter.  If she has a supervisor or you feel comfortable with someone else in the school setting, you might share your really "well founded" general concerns about her approach with someone who might reach her.
