Individual Therapy vs.Group Therapy

[Guest guest]

Through the school district, my 6 year old daughter is currently receiving 2-30

minute individual speech therapy sessions and 1-30 minute speech therapy session

with 1 other child each week. I opened for discussion increasing her therapy for

the coming year and I have concerns about what the speech pathologist is

recommending. She believes that group therapy would be a better way for my

daughter to work on her spontaneous speech. Her speech is hinding friends

because the kids can not understand her. She wants to take away one individual

and add a small group sessions that will have 3-4 kids in it. I told her I

wanted to keep group sessions at 2 kids total and she told me she would have to

think about it. I was looking for more therapy not less and am worried about

giving up an individual session. I know that if I give it up an invidual

session, it will be hard to get back. All the research I have done states that

individual therapy is best. Can anyone share group therapy successes or

failures?
