Would you get a gift?

DD has been in speech therapy at school 2.5 years.  She graduated from speech today.  She has had the same SLP for the last 2 years.  Would you get the school SLP a gift at all?  FWIW, she was being seen 2x/wk for 20-30 min/session.

I don't feel it is necessary, so this is more of a personality thing. If you like to give gifts and that is how you are, then sure go for it. I am sure they would feel appreciated. If you are not a gift giver, but still want to do something a heartfelt note might be nice.

After my kids left daycare, I didn't feel any pressure to buy individual gifts for public school employees, but I do contribute to teacher appreciate week and classroom gifts which I know the latter wouldn't include SLP.

A small thank you gift with a nice note is always appreciated but never necessary! I've gotten gifts over the years ranging from flowers to a little plaque with a saying thanking me for helping them find their voice to a programmable ornament with the child saying "thank you" but one of my favorites was a deck of cards, because the child loved to play Go Fish with their speech word cards

I think having your child write a nice note would go a long ways.

We did, just something small like a card/drawing from the kid and some chocolate or something from us. Congrats to your DD on graduating!

I think a card and either a small food gift or $10-25 Amazon/Target gift card is appropriate.

Congrats!
I got DS's a Starbucks gift card, wrote her a thank you note, and passed along my thanks to her supervisor.

Totally up to you. DD will hopefully finish soon and it didn't even occur to me to get her therapist a gift.
