[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To get speech, your child has to have in IEP.  I'm sure it depends on the issues and the child, but for speech articulation issues, my son got 20 minutes a week for 22 weeks a year.  Most of it was group.  He got a little more when he was younger.  It was worth it.  I did supplement with private.[/quote]

Good to know. She doesn't have an IEP so I'll assume it won't apply to her.[/quote]

My school laughed at me when I asked about my DD.  DD does not have an IEP.  She does have a significant lisp that has not corrected itself.  We are doing private speech.  [/quote]

To receive speech services, at the intake mtg, you would have to convince the team that the issue would alienate your child socially.

My son received speech services through the county from 2 1/2 to 4.  He tested at the "higher" end, and for that reason, they almost said no to services. However, when we said that it created a barrier btw him and his little friends, they accommodated him.

He still has issues with syntax to some extent, and for a while we paid one of his former speech therapists to continue on the side until she felt he no longer needed services.

Private will accommodate you, as they tend to broaden their criteria.  Public can only accommodate so many.  So their criteria are narrow by comparison.  Our insurance reimburses at 80%.  So keep in mind that the initial testing and the session fees will be expensive.  [/quote]
