[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want to pick your child up mid day, go to therapy and bring her back to school, depending on timing? That isn’t uncommon and often what families have to do, at least initially, as after school time slots often have very long waitlists. My son was able to do therapy via zoom, so while he missed some class time, it was lessened due to not having to travel back and forth. [/quote]

No. I want to do what we did last year, which was having the SLP come to her school.

I don’t understand why her school allowed it last year and not this year. [/quote]

It may be a space issue.  May be a supervision issue. But, it’s really not their responsibility to handle an outside private provider.[/quote]

It is their responsibility to tend to their students’ educational needs, though, and they recommended speech therapy. [/quote]

Speech impacts education but as a private they are not responsible to provide therapies like a public would.  That is your responsibility to take your child.  Many of us do and do it multiple times a week.  It is what it is and you cannot put this on the school.[/quote]

Yes - I think you are stuck although correct to be frustrated.  Hopefully the school works for your child in other ways.[/quote]

I just continue to be confused as to why they allowed pull out services last year and not this year.

We’re in a bind because we didn’t find out we needed to identify a new provider until 2 weeks ago, so it’s hard to find an SLP period, much less one with after school availability.[/quote]

Op, my DCs are in private and get pulled out for tutoring. DC got pulled out 3x per week for dyslexia remediation, and we have friends whose children get pulled out for OT or speech.

When I initially asked about my DC getting pulled out, the learning specialist told me getting excused from language class wasn’t in the neuropsych, so they could t do it. So I went back to the psychologist and asked for them to put that accommodation in DC’s neuropsych. No problem after that.

Ask the learning specialist what paperwork is needed to allow the pull-out.

There was still a delay of a couple of weeks at the beginning of the school year while DC’s tutor waited for the results from the background check, but then it was pretty seamless.

Good luck! [/quote]
