my SM daughter is also starting high school next year. the school put her on a
504 plan ( i don't know if this is a local or national policy) on this plan
she'll have an advocate at the school to help her transition and to help all of
her teachers work with her. she'll also have study hall with a special ed
teacher to make sure she's not having any problems, and at that time she'll be
allowed e-mail access to all of her teachers to keep up a dialog with them hope
some of these ideas help

Subject: [Selective Mutism Support Group] help for teacher/parent of
14-year-oldwith selective mutism


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?
