Off-Topic/1:1 speech services

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

Can anyone point me to any kinds of " documentation " I can use for ammunition

in obtaining direct speech therapy services for my 3.5 year-old son?

(PDD-NOS) has emerging verbal skills due mostly in part to the GFCF diet.

Current IEP allows only for 1 hr/week of group speech therapy. I have been

unhappy with this allotment all along, but now wish to purse 1:1 speech

services further since is now more " available " for interacting with a

therapist.

He will not say too many words spontaneously (he will, however, communicate

when he wants/needs something, as in " more cookies " or " more juice " ).

But I want to take this to the next level. I want him to have more

spontaneous speech. He will pretty much repeat any words if prompted. I am

also concerned about his articulation.

Any suggestions? Thanks much.
