[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 566883"] JJJ, yesterday was a plain, ol' parent-teacher conference. How he did in the first trimester. What she thinks he needs to work on, where his strenghts and weaknesses lie. The IEP meeting is next week on the 11th. Last spring at his IEP meeting speech did come up because part of the testing by the school was speech, and while they did admit that there are deficincies, once again, they are not bad enough for them to give him speech services and told me to persue speech privately. I told them that my insurance would not cover speech therapy because they consider it a developmental delay. They told me that I was wrong, and that they would cover it because at this age (8) it's not really developmental anymore. I told them that I had just asked them about in the last week and they would not cover it, but I was really annoyed about how they spoke to me. The school is telling me that I am wrong about what my insurance will and will not cover? Where do they get off doing that? I did try to call the insurance carrier again yesterday and once again I was told that they consider speech therapy in a case like this "developmental" because he did not lose the power of speech because of an accident or illness. If that was the case there would be no problem. The woman did tell me, however, that in the last month or two they have changed their policy and they will cover speech, but only for a maximum of 10 visits per year, which isn't alot, but I suppose it's better than nothing. I'm trying to decide if I should let his teacher know this because she wants to push for speech at the IEP meetig next week. Maybe I'll wait until after the meeting to see what happens. [/QUOTE]
