Anyone out there with experience at an IEP meeting in Seminole County, Florida

[Guest guest]

My son will be having his IEP meeting sometime next month and I am debating

whether I will bring an advocate with me to that meeting. I have pretty much

been told that the school does not often provide any one on one speech therapy.

The advocate I am considering says that she has seen it be granted but it was

quite a battle for the parents to get it. Everything I have read about

apraxia as well as my own experience with my son leads me to believe that he

would not get the help he needs in a group speech therapy session. My son's

diagnosis are Apraxia, hyptonia, and dysarthia. Is there anyone out there

in my county that has been successful getting One on One sessions for their

child? If so, what type of information did they bring with them to their IEP

Meeting? I really don't want to be adversarial but I do want to make sure my

son gets what he needs.

Thank you for your help!
