School Consultation Description & Pricing

School Consultation Description

SMart Center’s School Consultation is designed to aid school professionals working with a student with selective mutism, social anxiety, and/or extreme shyness. This service is available to patients and non-patients and includes:

  • Review of SM School Evaluation form(s) submitted by up to 2 teachers/school professionals and review of current 504 Plan/IEP if applicable*
  • Overview of Selective Mutism as a social communication anxiety and Social Communication Bridge
  • Discuss student’s baseline stage of communication, “WHYs” of SM, and presenting challenges
  • Implementation of best strategies and interventions
  • If academic challenges exist, discuss possible relationship to student’s SM and recommendations
  • Question and Answer opportunity
  • Comprehensive written report outlining best accommodations/interventions and strategies (can inform a 504/IEP plan if applicable) plus relevant supporting handouts/articles

Cadence: Initial school consult is 1-hour then followed by 30-minute or 1-hour consults every 4-8 weeks, or as needed. If the student’s communication is not improving after 10-15 consecutive school days, a sooner consult is needed.

Method: Conducted by phone or via Microsoft Teams (HIPAA compliant).

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.”
