[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SLP is terrible at our school.  Despite documented concerns for years, she denies any speech issues and says its attention.  After several evaluations and years of therapy, she is the only one commenting this.  Our special ed teacher seems great but most I have met are not and most general ed teachers because they don't know each disorder generally lump all SN kids together and assume the worst vs. the best.  Many don't like parents who are involved and advocate.[/quote]

I am wondering if your kid is at the same school as mine. She was obsessed with attention. Mainstream TEACHER who had my kid all day agreed the issue was language and not attention, but miss know it all could not let it go even when her own testing showed otherwise. I basically (in front of the IEP team) told her we see some of the top people in the country and even the world and they feel our child needs SLT and attention is not the issue. We have documentation of this in the file. [b]Some of them are highly regarded researchers and professors. What makes you think you know more than they do? Please share your research and publications on the subject matter[/b].[/quote]

Most of the school SLPs my child had over the years were fine to very good.

But the very first one we encountered told me that she had done her own research and developed her own way of addressing apraxia (which was not at all current or evidence based). I used a variant of your line about research, etc in a meeting -- she was unfazed. Simply replied that she was too busy to publish her research but she could prove that her method worked better.

I'd call bullshit. She hasn't published in a peer reviewed journal. Most people with publications in those journals are pretty dam busy. What a cocky shit. Sorry. [/quote]
