[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to answer if this is private or public school?[/quote]

She did. It’s a private school.

OP I don’t understand your resistance and trying to look for reasons not to believe the teachers.

My 3 kids are all in private school and if a teacher suggested to seek some sort of evaluation, I would right away.
My youngest is 4.5 and in PK. Our preschool as a L&S and OT as well as other experts on site. I was the one who requested a speech evaluation last year and the teachers went along with it. My son was average in the evaluation, but I am doing speech therapy nonetheless and he is making so much progress. 
Maybe the teachers are wrong or maybe they aren’t, but why can’t you get an evaluation? You can always decide to do nothing about it.

Perhaps there is something I am missing, but what is the issue here?[/quote]

You’re doing speech therapy for a kid who doesn’t need it???[/quote]

He tested average for his age (I believe 48 percentile or 52). The speech therapy is helping a lot. I bet he is probably at a higher percentile now. Why not? He spends one hour with a nice woman playing games and teaching him (and o it him). It’s private so we are not taking anyone else’s spot. We can afford it (and insurance pays for a good chunk). Why wouldn’t we?[/quote]

because that’s pretty coocoo sounding to those of us who ACTUALLY have kids with SN. if your view is “average is never acceptable” then yes, that would be crazy. [/quote]
