1st IEP @ IrvineUSD Did No Go Well (X Post)

[Guest guest]

We just had our first IEP for my son with apraxia.  I was hoping to get similar

placement/ service as he is currently receiving from regional center.  He's had

individual speech therapy for over a year, going 2 x week for 1 hour sessions. 

Progress has been slow and his intelligibility is roughly 25% to an unfamiliar

listener, however, he did really well on the school district assessment.  They

judged his intelligibility to be 50%.  So, their placement offer is 2 x 45

minutes of group speech in their clinic setting.  I tried to compromise and

asked for a combo of group and individual speech and was denied.  I feel we were

also penalized because he as express language.  Does their placement seem

appropriate?

Any feed back is appreciated.
