Definitely push to get the schools to cover as much therapy as he

needs. The IEP is supposed to provide what the child NEEDS period, not

what the schools can conveniently give. This doesn't always happen,

unfortunately. Even if they give him more, you still have the right to

pursue any private therapies you wish. When the schools finally give my

son the 2 hours per week of speech that they say will start soon I fully

intend to continue with the two hours a week of private that he currently

gets. He can definitely benefit from more!
