How does a student get dismissed from speech/language services?
Students are considered for dismissal under the following guidelines: 1. Student has met all objectives/goals on IEP and no additional areas warrant intervention 2. Intervention no longer results in measurable benefits 3. Child is unwilling or unable to participate in treatment; or school attendance is poor 4. Extenuating circumstances warrant discontinuation of services 5. The disorder no longer has an adverse affect on educational performance 6. The student no longer needs the services to participate in the general education curriculum 7. The IEP can be better implemented in a less restrictive environment, or the goals/objectives for the student can be implemented by another professional (i.e., the teacher). 8. A new evaluation is completed and the student no longer meets one or more parts of eligibility.
