IEP Goals for Kindegartner w/Apraxia

[Guest guest]

I'm trying to find examples of a speech/language goals for a

kindegartner with apraxia.

I do not want to have just articulation goals because I'm afraid if

she masters the articulation in one syllable word, they will say she

has met her goals.

She currently has trouble saying lots of two syllable words, and

most 3 syllable, and she cannot say anything like California,

spaghetti, macaroni, etc.

She can't say the days of the week yet. She can't say her address.

She can say long sentences if they are 1 syllable words, eg " I want

to go to the park and play. "

Does anyone have any suggestions? I do not trust her current school

speech therapist. I am going to ask for an independent evaluation,

and I'm hoping that will help.

Dear Suzi,

The speech language specialist (SLS) and you - " Mom " develop the IEP.

You have listed several communication objectives and goals below that

you feel are important for your child to become an independent

communicatation partner. They must be considered by all parties

involved in the IEP process.

Standardized and functional testing measures will give a starting

point as to possible weakness areas that may need to be addressed.

Evaluation measures should include but not be limited to : Oral Motor

Functioning, Phoneme/sound Production, and Language Functioning

levels.

If you are not satisfied with the current evaluation, place your

concerns in writing and request an independent speech and language

evaluation.
