Therapy Times

Your child is scheduled for a set time each week for speech and language therapy services, as noted as part of his/her Individual Education Plan (IEP).  In the past, when there has been a school or class special event, a student-or group of students-have not always been seen for therapy.  The classroom teacher may ask to not send the student on a particular day due to unique classroom activities or possibly a student’s behavioral issues.  With such a full schedule, it is not always possible to make up the therapy session if the student or teacher asks to miss a session.  If you feel that speech therapy services should occur at the regular therapy time, even if there is a special class event, please let me know in writing what your wishes are.  If I haven’t received written parental input, I will respect the wishes of the classroom teacher when they request that your child miss therapy.
