[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has selective mutism and we send her to a small private school with experienced teachers - similar to Beauvoir but different city.  We've been blown away at the progress she's made.  All the faculty and staff know her and have gone out of their way to make her comfortable.  She will be in 5th this year and at school you would not notice a difference between her and the other children.

She was diagnosed at 4 years old and still gets triggered in some environments, school is not one of them.  When she was diagnosed I made an appointment with the HOS, dean, principal, and her 2 teachers.  Ever since then, the school ensures the right mix of kids in the class and teachers that will be best for her (and all the other students).  Please take the time to get this right for your daughter; our progress has been amazing.

I'm not sure any public school has the capacity to do this for all the students they have.  My other children are bright social kids and benefited from this thoughtful class selection too.  One of the teachers at the school told me "I believe all children have a special need".  She was trained as a GT teacher, but at the time was teaching 2nd grade.[/quote]
