ADVANCED STRATEGIES FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SELECTIVE MUTISM

Curious about our webinar?

Take a quick look at this preview for a glimpse of Dr Elizabeth Woodcock’s insights and the practical strategies you can expect to learn.

This 3-hour webinar is for parents, carers, and family members who have completed the introductory ‘How to help your child with Selective Mutism’ and are ready for more advanced strategies to help their child become a confident communicator at school and in other social settings.

Selective Mutism can completely resolve with treatment, but usually requires 1 to 2 years of treatment in order to do so. Parents play an important role in helping the condition to eventually resolve as they can practice communication with their child in a variety of social situations and help their child learn the necessary emotional and social skills to progress with their treatment.
