[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi op - I am facing the same situation and wondering how kindergarten went. Was your daughter in pre-k? We just received an official diagnosis and she will be starting K in the fall. She’s always been in full time daycare / preschool and she can talk but very quietly in the classroom (is totally fine on playground). I don’t think her case is extremely severe but I am worried about her ability to communicate and learn in K and ask to go to potty…[/quote]

Hi! So our DD will start K this year. She no longer has SM after working with a SM therapist, SM camp and doing lots of exposures and setting up a reward system for brave talking . She does still have anxiety, so still want to do an extra visit to meet the teacher if possible but are pretty hopeful she will be fully verbal.

I would definitely lean into treating the SM. SM is both very impairing and treatable. Get the Overcoming Selective Mutism book - I found it so helpful.[/quote]

Which camp did you do?[/quote]

The Confident Kids Camp through the Rockville Therapy Center, which was excellent. Brighter Outlook has another camp called Kids Out Loud. We were advised that both of these camps are very similar and to just choose the one that worked best for our schedule.[/quote]
