[QUOTE="OTE, post: 11024"] OH, I know that frustration. I can't tell you how insane it drives me and not with my relatives! I see so many Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids in my son's classes that have so much potential but the parents can't or won't do anything. Now that my son is older I see kids who are in their early teens, when the potential for growth is largely over and ARGHHHH... two come to mind immediately... one isn't potty trained and both are totally non-verbal even though I know they can sign, speak,... Anyway, if it is oral motor all the speech therapy in the world isn't going to help. Believe me, been there done that. 5 years from now he'll still have the same articulation. He needs to have an oral motor evaluation. I paid for it and it was $400 a bunch of years ago. But there's no other way. If his mother won't take him and won't let you take him I don't see that there's anything you can do. Like I said above, maybe see what you can figure out yourself. Also, I'd put him in front of a mirror and that Iowa program simultaneously. Let him watch how the sounds are formed on the Iowa video and then watch himself in the mirror. What about a quarterly progress report from the speech therapist? The goals for speech therapy in the IEP? That should give you some idea what the therapist is working on. [/QUOTE]
