[quote=Anonymous]Start by asking the teacher to alert the student in advance that she will be called on in class and tell her what the question will be. She can take a moment to prepare an answer and read it if necessary. Starting is the hardest part. She'll see, after experience, that it's not so bad. If her condition is so serious, that she can't even do this, then you should consult with a psychiatrist to see whether a diagnosis of anxiety or selective mutism is warranted. She can get accommodations for that and perhaps even a monthly consult with the speech pathologist to learn how discourse works. Is this an issue in any other setting?[/quote]
