Amount of Services received

There is no "standard". It is all based on the amount of help the child needs.

That is a lot of sped minutes. That is 10 hours of pull-out (2 hours per day, I'm assuming) with 30 minutes of S/L. So at least 1/3 of his school day is out of class support, in small group or individual help.

Since he is progressing, something is working. Progress is going to vary depending on the child's issues, how specifically things are being addressed and how well the programs fit the child's needs. Right now he is getting 690 minutes of help a week. Any more might be too much.

You can do some research on his specific issues and see if there are things you can do to help him over the summer months. Keeping up some type of program over the summer will help him keep what he has gained over the school year.

Give his program some time and see how he does. Sometimes just he maturity that comes with getting older can kick things into a higher gear, so be patient. :) If things continue to be slow next year, then you may want to consider looking at other programs or have a Neuropsych eval done to get more specific information and suggestions that could help him.
