[QUOTE="totoro, post: 373188, member: 3155"] We can't afford K's private ST right now and it makes me so angry. Her School tries to help her but it is not enough. I am going to fight with them this year about working with her later in the day. Why? Because her speech is so much worse in the afternoon after lunch. They have in her goals that she has almost met her Speech Requirements! She has tongue thrust and slurs and loses speech as the day goes on. Sure she works her butt off in the a.m. but.... hers is not medication related it is muscle tone and strength related. So does she want to work after school with me? NOWAY! Right now I have to have the school do it, I need them to do it. I agree it is a matter of how tired and weary we are, I am too tired to battle her about this. We are fighting other issues right now. LOL We were lucky and the School took our word that both the girls needed ST. I just have to convince them that K is not doing as well as they think. Personally I think some of it is budget cuts... You are right about the Spectrum diagnosis opening doors. Sad but true, K, since officially receiving this diagnosis now has access to many more services than when she only had the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. We actually may be able to get her into ST through the Autism Clinic here now. (just need to find the time) LOL Good luck [/QUOTE]
