When y0u send your child to school you would think that those in charge of our children would watch out for them. Teach them and give them the proper tools to get them to their adult life as prepared as possible.
My grand daughter has a speech problem as did her brother. Her brother was sent to a speech therapist in his school and today you would never know he had a problem.
I must say that a times it is very hard to understand my grand daughter because she does no use the letter r. She is a lovely child and is a good student. The rule was that no speech therapy was given until the child reached 9 years of age. In 2009 that rule was changed and now it states that a student will receive speech therapy only if it affects their grades. In the meantime, I'm sure there are other children with the same problem, they have to endure being made fun of by other students and will have this problem in their later lives. Why can't they include these children with those who have this problem and are not good students. Isn't speaking clearly a way of communicating that is very important in today's way of life. Sending a child to a speech therapist on your own is very expensive and my grand daughter's parents cannot afford this.
Who makes these decisions? Are these Federal cuts?
Whoever made these decisions must have their heads up their anal exits.
