Re: School has SLP, but she isn't giving therapy to ANY children!

Yes fight for it. The therapist should be trained to  help kids with apraxia.

Is your question about your daughter or what you think the EI therapist should

be providing to the school district in services? Due process for what?

Was direct therapy indicated in the IEP and changed to consult or was

consult written in the initial IEP and signed by you?

Services for my daughter.  I know that I can't speak for any child but her if I

go through due process.  She is not receiving ANY speech therapy and it is

stated in her IEP that she is to have it at least once per week.  School

started on August 31st and the only speech she has received is from the private

therapists we are paying for.

Does the IEP say she is to have direct therapy once a week or a consult once

a week? Consults can be a form of speech therapy so I would check the

wording of your IEP.

Direct therapy was indicated in the IEP and changed to consult with NO

NOTIFICATION to me.  I found out second hand by her teacher.

I work for a school district.  They cannot change the IEP without YOUR

consent.  They have to let you know.  What I would do is find out who the

director of Special Ed. is in your district.  Call the director of special ed.

in your district and complain.  Trust me they don't want a lawsuit.

She isn't receiving any therapy anywhere.
