[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Look up strategies for selective mutism. E.g. SM University from Kurtz Psychology (free online course) When you go to a place with a counter, practice ahead of time and see if you can then ask the cashier to give your kid choices ("do you want a burger, a hot dog or something else"). If that doesn't feel feasible when the kid clams up at the counter you give him the choice. In class, see if teacher can possibly discuss a question with kid ahead of time 1 on 1 and then call on him to answer the same question in the group. Anxiety meds can also help.[/quote] Please don't ask a cashier to be your kid's life skills coach. Not to mention hold up the line. You can practice ahead of time like you mentioned, sure. Teacher could maybe scaffold by previewing the question but it would be during class touching base, not a 1:1 meeting outside of class.[/quote] With an IEP, or even a 504, it could be a 1:1 meeting outside class.[/quote]
