[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 92037, member: 23"] We don't disagree on this issue, Marti. When difficult child was in 3rd grade and had a 504 plan, he was denied speech-language therapy because he "didn't qualify" for an IEP under TEA's separate category via the initial evaluation process. "Significant discrepancy" formulas and all that business..... When I argued that it was also a related service for IEP and 504 students, I was told difficult child would have had to had qualified under specific learning disability for IEP to get it. (I think it was a sub-category under SLD, but can't recall exactly.) I do recall that we went round and round.... I ended up pulling him out of school in the afternoons twice a week and taking him to private language therapy. I also filed a Complaint with-TEA, OCR and OSEP. (Speech-language therapy was just one issue of the Complaint). Shortly thereafter, TEA's policy changed, but I have no was of knowing if my Complaint directly had an impact on this issue. But we did end up with-language therapy as a related service 5x/week via an IEP thereafter. (Another case of if they'd just thrown mom a bone to begin with....) [/QUOTE]
