how did you get appropriate therapy from EI or school?

[Guest guest]

Can someone please tell me how I can have EI or my school district (when he

turns 3) give my son the appropriate therapies?

I was thinking of going to a top SLP and get a written diagnosis for verbal

apraxia (and maybe oral apraxia), if in fact he has it, he is not diagnosed with

these yet. We have codes we have now are for motor planning and such, with only

suggested speech therapy of oral-motor.

Once I get the eval- can I ask for appropriate speech therapy from Early

Intervention? Can I only ask appropriate speech therapy from my school district?

How does one do this?

Let's say in our disabled school they only offer " regular speech " therapy and I

want PROMPT and Kaufman cards being used and it was written in the eval that my

son needs this......then will I have a big battle on my hands trying to get this

for him?

Thank you for helping,
