I think you are the third person I spoke to where speech services were going to be utilized for below grade level performance.
Let me clarify - they will offer all the usual services if the student has below grade level performance. Speech is the only service they will offer if the student is performing at or above grade level (my ds's new IEP has only speech and he's now performing above grade level; we're fortunate that he no longer needs the other services, like the OT he used to get for fine motor).
At any rate, from what I could see, the stuff in that 2E on-line booklet wasn't really being implemented in our school district (which is supposedly among the handful of better districts in the state).
(sorry for going off-topic again)
