Perhaps they would entertain adding speech back on as a consult to the OT, for the purpose of working on effective speech-to-text. (Though if there are still intelligibility issues, I'd still wonder about direct speech services. This seems young to be maxing out on artic. The speech eval probably found him functional on intelligibility for familiar listeners (aka, his speech teacher), but that's a far cry from being intelligible to unfamiliar listeners, let alone having access to his assistive technology (speech-to-text).) It might also be helpful, if the OT isn't already doing this as a matter of course, for the OT to have some consult time to classroom teachers on building accommodations into assignments, such as by having electronic versions of written assignments, to facilitate use of his assistive technology.
