Often children do not get therapy in school because the school feels that the child's speech and language needs are not impacting them educationally. If you feel that his deficits are impacting him educationally you are entitled to get an outside evaluation.

Found out he was not really getting group therapy. Throwing another kid in there when she's backed up, i feel does not qualify. My son is very smart but has a hard time expressing himself. after speaking to the teacher she feels that he still will benefit from more speech but they would like to take it away from him as he scores high on the standardized tests. Let's be real, my son can score high on it as I feel it really isn't age appropriate. I think my child could name a picture of a cookie. He's 5. It is also now noted that he has ADHD. They still want to take it away even though I know he will get lost in the long run. I also found out the speech therapist has a heavy caseload and as trying to get children out if they were borderline. I also had him seen privately and was told need to work on the pragmatic skills and cannot retell sequence or stories. What can I do or say to keep it going in the school setting.
