I am studying to be a speech therapist. You should contact ateacher or you can contact the school SLP directly, as that is who you will beworking with. You need to demonstrate to the school that the lisp and thestutter will hold you back if not treated. Showing that it will impact younegatively both socially and/or academically is KEY to getting an IEP! It canbe hard to get put back on an IEP after being kicked off. Schools are alwaystrying to cut down costs and are not always so freely willing to hand out IEPs.So have evidence/points to make/reasons that it is impacting you socially oracademically. You have to be a self-advocate. Really become knowledgeable on stuttering andeverything about it! Really own your stuff, make your case. The following linkis super super helpful and can be a great starting point. https://www.asha.org/practice-portal/clinical-topics/fluency-disorders/ ​ You could also go to a private clinic (I work as a receptionist in a pediatric speech clinic part-time, and we have older kids that stutter). Insurance will be more likely to cover it now as compared to when you are an adult. You could get free services at a university clinic. Granted, the clinicians are only students so don't expect services that are like those of an actual SLP, as the students are still learning.
