My experience with Principal Tara Yunker, school psychologist Arielle Pickel, and speech-language pathologist Emily Elliott was deeply disappointing. I found their communication dismissive, cold, and lacking genuine concern for the needs of a child with disabilities.My child had consistently been identified by previous schools and her medical team as having a speech delay and needing speech therapy. However, this school (only this school) determined that she did not need speech services. She continues to work on her speech today, and her peers still sometimes have difficulty understanding her.Rather than focusing only on my child’s individual history and needs, staff also referenced other children’s cases when explaining why support would not be provided. Every child with a disability deserves an individualized and respectful evaluation. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.
