[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be starting kindergarten next year (2024). She is receiving therapy for selective mutism and has made great progress, but I want to do everything possible to make her transition to kindergarten successful. Her therapist recommends  that we do "sliding in" sessions before school starts.

In an ideal world, what this looks like is DD and I would be in the classroom playing, I use strategies to make sure DD can be verbal there, then the teacher comes in, sits to the side, we make sure DD can be verbal with the teacher there, then prompt the teacher to get closer and eventually ask DD questions. The goal is to get DD comfortable being verbal with the teacher. We would ideally do two or three of these sessions. Probably at least 15 minutes each.

Can something like this be done in the real world in MCPS/public school systems?[/quote]

Hi OP,

We're in APS, and we went through the same thing.  It was very helpful to have do something like this.  If you'd like to talk off line, please send me a way to reach you, and I'd be happy to share out experience.  Although my child who went through this between preschool and K, is now a rising 4th grader.[/quote]
