    Great job on being an awesome advocate for your child! The minute my son turned 3, I had an appt at the school board for him to get assessed for speech and OT out of concern (he also got Speech when he was 2 from our local head start because he had a huge history with ear infections and didn't start talking until he was 2)...he qualified for both and was put on an IEP...last year he got services several times a week as a "drive in" student - I had to bring him into the local school for speech/OT which was a small nightmare - with his sensory disorder, he could barely handle the walk down the loud and bright school hallways and the disruption of having to pick him up at various times from his Montessori throughout the week to get him to services was an issue because my son thrives on routine and hates transitions....so this year we advocated for him to have intinerant services brought to him at his Montessori preschool and we got our request...so the 2 teachers come to him in his school setting....our next step is to start advocating for gifted services since he is only 3 points away from the required IQ score and has already had several grade level tests done and he is way above Kindergarten (which he is supposed to start in the fall)...so we are going to try to get gifted services along with his IEP for speech and OT - will be an interesting battle :-) Great job and i hope that it really helps your child!
