How to Start a PMP - Tier 1
PMPs for required students noted during preplanning AND any students you already have concerns about are due by Friday, September 2nd. This means you need to meet with the parents THIS week if you have not already done so.
In 95% of cases you need the Academic PMP form and the RtI Parent Letter which is on the main page UNDER THE MENU "ORGANIZATION" You may also want to print the Organizational forms to help you keep track of what is due when for whom! Fill out all the yellow sections, including the meeting summary and remember to sign it!

Selective Mutism
I consulted on a case once where the child had selective mutism. Here's some information. It's very important to not push them to speak, because if you do you can cause the anxiety to increase drastically. The child I consulted on spoke normally at home and spoke at a young age.
