Speech Therapy Consulting
Speech Therapy Consulting
Disagree with your school's speech evaluation? You have the right to an independent assessment at public expense.
No obligation. Takes 2 minutes.
You know your child best. If something doesn't feel right about the school's evaluation, you have options.
The school says your child doesn't qualify, but you see daily struggles with communication at home and in social situations.
Testing was brief, limited in scope, or didn't assess areas you're concerned about. A thorough evaluation should be comprehensive.
Your child's speech services were denied, reduced, or discontinued, but you still see significant needs at home.
Just like with medical decisions, getting a second opinion from an independent evaluator gives you more complete information.
The school's report doesn't include specific, actionable recommendations that would actually help your child in the classroom.
Despite being in speech services, your child isn't improving. A fresh evaluation may reveal what's being missed.
Thorough, unbiased, and designed to give your child's IEP team the information they need.
We discuss your child's history, your concerns, and whether an IEE is the right next step.
Standardized assessments, language sampling, observation, and parent interview across 2-3 sessions.
A thorough written report with findings, analysis, and specific IEP-ready recommendations.
We can attend your child's IEP meeting to explain the findings and advocate for appropriate services.
"Our son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. The first services we received was speech therapy as he was unable to express himself. We were lucky enough to have been paired with Stacey. Our son has been in speech therapy for almost a year now and has improved so much. He is always excited to go see Mrs. Stacey. We are forever grateful."— Lopez Family, Dixon, CA
"STC helped me ease my daughter into attending sessions independently instead of needing me to accompany her to every session, which has given her more confidence. My daughter looks forward to her therapy every week. We've experienced other speech therapy service providers and STC is by far our favorite. It feels like a second home."— Ann & Rose, Vacaville, CA
An IEE is an evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who does not work for your child's school district. Under federal law (IDEA, 34 C.F.R. 300.502), parents have the right to request an IEE when they disagree with the school's evaluation.
Yes. Under IDEA, parents can request an IEE at public expense — meaning the school district pays. The district must either agree to fund it or file for a due process hearing to prove their evaluation was appropriate.
Common reasons include: you disagree with the school's evaluation results, your child was found ineligible for services but you believe they need help, the school's evaluation felt incomplete, or you want a more thorough second opinion.
Our IEEs include comprehensive standardized testing, language sampling, observation, parent interview, and a detailed written report with specific recommendations that are IEP-ready. We provide a thorough, unbiased assessment.
The evaluation itself typically takes 2-3 sessions. You'll receive a detailed written report within 2-3 weeks of the final session, including specific, actionable recommendations for your child's IEP team.
