Where do i stand on school reducing help

[Discobabe]

My ds is 5 and on SA+ and under SaLT (nothing too major, sound production issues mainly).

His school are meant to be providing 4 x 15 min sessions of SaLT therapy to him with his TA however it seems that more often than not it's only 3 x a week.

They changed his IEP just before Easter and sent it home for me to sign and i have noticed they have now 'officially' reduced his sessions to 3 times a week. My concern is now it's at 3 they might think oh well it doesn't matter if we only do it twice instead!

I have a meeting with the Senco later this week but have no idea where i stand with them not providing what was in the IEP in the first place (as they have no legal obligation to do so?) and if i can prevent them reducing his support?

SaLT advise a minimum of 3 x 10 min sessions a week so i'm guessing as long as the school offer at least this i can't do much about them reducing his current support?

TIA

Unfortuatly, I think you're right. There is no legal obligation for them to do anything on sa+. Also if they are doing what SALT have recommended then I think tbf you have not got much argument. Were they previously doing more tha SALT recommended or have SALT also reduced the recommedation? There's no harm in you asking them why, at least them they'll know you're bothered, but I'm not sure that you've got much leverage here. Sorry thats not more helpful.

Thanks feynman.

He was previously funded with some additional early years funding for 5 x 20 min sessions a wk. This was reduced to 4 x 15 min sessions when he entered year one as obviously the early years funding no longer stood. SaLT have always recommended 3 x 10 min sessions as a minimum even when he had his 5 x 20 min funded sessions. But yes the school have always offered more than SaLT's min recommendations.

I know i'm lucky they've done slightly more than recommended since his other funding stopped but i'll still have a slight moan at them if it means they keep that up rather than cutting it down ;) I'm annoyed they haven't taken the time to discuss this with me first though so will feel no guilt moaning about that.

I was thinking of asking for 4 x 10 min sessions rather than the 3 x 15 min sessions as i feel it would be more beneficial for him to have more but shorter sessions rather than fewer but longer ones. Is that a reasonable compromise? They'll actually gain 5 minutes of his TA's time that way but i suppose it's not always that simple.
