[quote=Anonymous]If all you need is speech therapy, that is incredibly easy to obtain privately and often covered by insurance. And frankly if you go to appointments with him and receive instruction on home practice he will make far more progress.

I understand being upset but you really need to focus on your child. If you absolutely can’t afford private services even with insurance then I guess you can keep fighting but I don’t understand hiring a lawyer for that because it’s so expensive?

Look I have a kid with significant articulation issues and we are hoping he will be on level by the time he gets to elementary school. If not, I will make sure he gets caught up fully, not just to whatever line is not impacting his education. That’s my job as a mom. My other child has an IEP because she needs specialized instruction that can only occur in the school building. She also receives private services and while it would be great to have them delivered during the school day at no cost to us it’s absolutely not going to happen.

I really don’t think you are helping out lower income families by picking this fight. The IEP process is trying to get kids up to a somewhat low bar and they need to focus on kids who need help during the school day. [/quote]
