Hello! my lovely 4 years old will be off to reception next year (2019). He has selective mutism , which means that he is verbal only in specific situations and with specific people. He is NOT shy ( as CAHMS is trying to portray)and he is very playful and sociable with other children. I am a SEN teacher myself and in the light of cuttings in the mainstream school, I am concerned that he will be left to his own device because of a lack of resources. Said this...I am looking into alternative provisions that will allow him to learn at his own pace. I cannot afford to leave my job and homeschool him, but I was wondering if it would be possible to enrol him in a group of children who are been homeschooled by other parents in the area if this makes sense? Any advice will be very much appreciate :)
