For my students with apraxia I prefer a similar service model to the one your son has (shorter sessions on more days). If he is not making progress on his goals, then you could look to increase minutes.
​
I definitely recommend checking out private speech through medical insurance. Your school SLP can't technically "recommend" private speech because legally if the IEP team recommends something the district can be on the hook to pay for the recommendation.
​
You feel a little out of your element, because you objectively are, and that's not a bad thing. You're his mom; you don't have to be his SLP, too. This summer, have fun, find ways to incorporate language into daily routines (your SLP should have some great resources for parent education. I like the book It Takes Two to Talk https://www.amazon.com/Takes-Two-Talk-Practical-Children/dp/0921145527 ), and be patient. Ask his SLP about homework for carryover. Since I'm not working with him directly, it's hard to give specific recommendations. Apraxia has a wide range from kiddos getting their first sounds to working a sentence level.
​
What I always remind parents of kiddos with AAC is that language supports language. Language skills through his AAC device support verbal language skills. I'm sure his current SLP has talked to you about this. Talk to his SLP about how you can create language opportunities for his with his device as well as verbally. PrAACticalAAC is a great resource for learning more. https://praacticalaac.org/

So glad to hear positivity from the EI results! I don't know if you are looking for resources, but I love this for expressive language - it's part of the Hanen program, but you can buy just the book:
