(meaning age 4 instead of 3 or under) So... after 3 years of brining up Jace's inability to regularly form the "TH" blend my pedi finally said that we should look into speech services.Any words of wisdom or advice?Most of my friends' kids were referred thru the school district and I don't think that's an option for us any longer due to his age? He's also not in a public pre-school....
Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
Re: Anyone's DC start speech services later in life?
DS started services at 3 - he had already aged out of EI, but was provided services through the school district, even though he was in private preK. He saw the SLP at the public elementary school closest to our house.
He went to preschool in a county different from where we lived, so when he started public Kindergarten, they were able to just transfer his IEP.
I think I called EI first and they gave me the correct number to call - ChildFind, maybe?
My DS just turned 4 and receives speech serices through the county school system. I was haing to bring him to the county office for services, but now the therapist comes to his day care. She said that it will be easier to get him more services after he starts Kindergarten because his speech delays have to show an interference in his education. Right now, he's still in his K3 class and speech is not delaying his ability to fingerpaint.
I also had him in private speech therapy through our hospital last year, but the therapist was flaky - missed appts. So now I'm trying to work with the county, but the process is slow.
