This 2-hour webinar provides practical strategies to help teens with Selective Mutism transition to high school. Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder that significantly limits a child’s ability to speak in certain settings, such as school, despite being able to talk comfortably at home. It affects approximately 1 in 140 children in the first three years of primary school and can continue into adolescence without appropriate support.

The transition to high school can be particularly challenging for students with Selective Mutism, as it involves new teachers, peers, and environments that may heighten anxiety. This webinar will guide parents, teachers, and clinicians through key steps to prepare for this transition — from collaborating with the school to building the teen’s confidence and communication skills.
