All children deserve the same opportunities, and all schools should make adaptations in order for each of it's students to grow and learn and develop. A child with speech and language challenges is a perfect candidate for preschool. If you qualify for Head Start, you can begin obtaining speech and language services immediately through the school system in your area. Otherwise, you'll get them when the child attends kindertgarten. If you don't qualify, just hand-select your child's private preschool. Talk a LOT with the owner/director, and find out what they do for children with speech and language limitations. Good luck.

Is he/she in a program already? Request hearing screening or hearing test ASAP from the school district (if USA) or your doctor as many speech/lang result in hearing problems possibly from ear infections or something more problematic.
If this is a public preschool, the administration should be helping set up speech services, if they aren't, go up to the district office.
If you are in a private school, still you can get services from the public school in the neighborhood! Its a shame you gotta fight for services, but now is the time to get help, before kindergarden.
