Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 My 3 1/2 year old son has hypotonia and severe oral motor issues. He speaks 4-5 word sentences but with obvious errors so only people familiar with him will know what he is saying. He is currently receiving 1/2 hour speech two times a week (one individual and one group). As recommended by his neurologist, I just met with the IEP team and requested for an additional individual session with Prompt. They flatly denied the extra session stating that oral motor exercises and Prompt technique does not go hand in hand. Incidentally my son's speech therapist never shows up to any of these meetings. I've rescheduled another meeting next week and hopefully she will not have another family emergency. As the neurologist states, my son is just not getting enough speech therapy and Prompt will be beneficial to him. I need some advice on how to convince the school of this. Thank you in advance.
