my eight year old who is in a state school is making progress with his tutor but not in the school. He suffers severe shyness and will not even ask his teacher for a pen in front of other children. We are seriously considering sending him to a dyslexic school for his final two years of primary but fear they might accept his social unconfidence as the norm..and not challenge it. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of this sort of shyness and the selective mutism. My child was identified as dyslexic with working memory issues last year. Prior to this he had really spent two years in a fog of misunderstanding at school. So i am aware that although he was always a shy child this has contributed to his lack of confidence in the classroom settin.
