My child was dismissed from speech therapy at his school. I feel that he still needs treatment, what can I do and why was he dismissed at school?

Remember that school districts operate under separate guidelines than private practitioners. For a child to receive speech and language therapy in the schools it must prove to be ?educationally relevant? and must focus on educational goals and objectives. Your child may have been dismissed because they had reached a higher functioning communication level, and it was no longer ?educationally relevant? for them to be seen at school. If you feel that your child still needs speech and language services, you have the right to pursue private treatment from a speech-language pathologist in a private practice setting.
