Contacting Your School

If you have not discussed a school training with your school, we recommend contacting your point person (classroom teacher, counselor, etc) to REQUEST the training. You may call or email with the following sample language:

“Hello, as you know our child has been having communication challenges within the school environment. We recently had [student name] evaluated and diagnosed with Selective Mutism, a social communication anxiety disorder from the SMart Center. We learned a lot during our evaluation/treatment program and would like to schedule a training with our school team and the SMart Center to educate and discuss strategies to help [student name] gain more comfort and communication within the school setting.”
