I have been a teacher of a student with selective mutism for three
years while he was in middle school. He is getting ready to go to
high school and will basically have to start over with getting to
know school personnel. I am working with the student this summer, and
the parent has asked me about possible meds and therapy for her son.
As a teacher, I don't know if I am allowed to offer her suggestions,
but I want to still be in the process of helping this amazing student
as the "familiar" teacher in his life. Can anyone offer any
suggestions as to the ways I can help him and his family as he
continues his education in the local high school?
