For some students, the school year may have included gaps in speech therapy due to limited staffing, schedule changes, or missed sessions. That’s where compensatory services come in.

What are compensatory speech services?
Compensatory services are speech-language therapy sessions provided outside of the regular school year to make up for missed or inadequate services in a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). These sessions aim to support continued progress and ensure that students are not falling behind due to circumstances beyond their control.

Why is summer a great time for speech therapy?
Summer offers a perfect window for focused, uninterrupted therapy. Without the daily pressures of school, children often make faster progress. Sessions can be more personalized, flexible, and family-friendly.

At Speaktacular, Jess provides summer speech therapy, including compensatory services for students with IEPs. Sessions may focus on:

• ✅ Speech sounds

• ✅ Language development

• ✅ Social communication

• ✅ Fluency and stuttering

How do I know if my child qualifies?
If your child missed sessions due to school staffing shortages, illness, or other disruptions—and has an active IEP—you may be eligible. In many cases, schools will approve compensatory services to ensure your child receives their full support hours.

What if my child didn’t qualify for school services, but still needs help?
Jess also provides private supplemental therapy for children who don’t meet IEP eligibility but still have speech, language, or fluency challenges.
