[quote=Anonymous]Our 4 year old has selective mutism and social anxiety to the point he does not talk in different or new environments and with new people. Kid is getting support and we the parents are getting training to foster a supportive environment. However we won’t know if this is going to be a long term thing.  We assume this is the case to varying degrees as he is very shy, cautious and prone to being nervous.  We know our kid would thrive in a nurturing environment at older son‘s private school.

We are talking to the counseling department at said school to see what type of support they may offer younger kid and also how much experience they have with kids that have similar profiles.  The hope is this is a good fit.

Has anyone gone through an sibling application process for a young kid that has selective mutism? How are private schools making decisions if for example your kid does not respond during interviews?  We also need to look at other schools - what are other privates, to your knowledge support and nurture young kids with this profile? [/quote]
