I totally understand that it must be horrible.
I would imagine that your school has someone who is in charge of co-ordinating special educational needs. It might be worth phoning the school and asking who the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator...that's what we call them in NI) is, and having a meeting with both them AND the class teacher, and even the principal, so that you can register with them the fact that this needs to be taken seriously and treated sensitively. Definitely speak with the speech therapist and ask her for practical tips you can give to the school. Obviously you shouldn't have to give them that info, but at least then you know they have it, and if they don't put in place any strategies to help Lucas that are needed, you can go back and raise hell because they have all the info.
