How to help your child with
selective mutism

This 3-hour webinar is for parents, carers, and family members who would like to understand more about Selective Mutism and learn specific strategies to help their child become a confident communicator at school and in other social settings.

Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder similar to social anxiety whereby children who talk freely and normally at home feel anxious in social situations such as school or talking to strangers, and are unable to talk.

Selective Mutism can completely resolve with treatment, but usually requires 1 to 2 years of treatment in order to do so. Treatment usually involves an intensive program at preschool/school, 1 on 1 sessions with a psychologist, and lots of practise communicating in various social situations outside school.
