Speak with your parents. There should be resources /information available related to receive additional speech services in a private practice a couple of times a week after school as well as in the summer
Speech Therapy can be accessed through insurance typically. Private speech therapy if obtained through a commercial insurance plan can be very expensive unless your parent(s) have good insurance. If you are on a Medicaid plan, most of these plans provide speech therapy at little or no cost to you or your family. For home therapy, it really depends on where you live. Some states such as Texas have pediatric home health companies that will travel to your home.
Your speech therapist should give you home tasks as a home program to do outside of therapy.
You can find a provider who uses a virtual platform and provides teletherapy.

Ask your speech pathologist to provide you with individual review/practice work. I don't have enough details based on your question to give any further guidance.

Ask your speech therapist for activities you can do at home to keep practicing. There are also clinics which offer speech language therapy and many accept insurance.

Hi!
I am assuming you receive Speech Therapy in school. Since I am not your Speech Pathologist, I wouldn't be able to give you specifics related to your goals. However, please ask your therapist for carry-over activities you can do at home to maximize your goals. They should be able to give you materials to take home or they can recommend ways to practice at home for optimal success.
Best of luck...and it is very impressive that you asked for help with this! Way to go. :}
