[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School-based therapies (speech, OT) are ideally a supplement to outside, medical services. They address the educational needs, which does not cover all needs. The fact that outside, medical services are recommended does not mean that they should be provided by the school. Did the eval that recommended speech and OT say specifically that they think these services are educationally necessary? They may have been recommending medical services.[/quote]

Op here. Yes. The evals talk specifically about how his ASD and ADHD impede his ability to access a school curriculum.

We do private OT and speech but it would help if they could also be provided by the school.

He’s only in pre-k so we don’t really have academic data but even his teachers have reinforced that because he never stops moving, for example, he cannot participate in any of the classroom activities (circle time, crafts, etc.). He won’t sit in a chair. He has zero frustration tolerance so won’t engage if anything is the least bit challenging for him. He won’t follow directions. He perseverates on things and misses out on instruction time because of it, etc.[/quote]
