Selective Mutism is a complex but treatable anxiety disorder which affects 1 in every 140 children from Kindy to 2nd grade. It is important for all staff to understand about this condition so that they can respond in the most appropriate way.

This 45-minute seminar is for learning support teams, principals, school psychologists and preschool directors who have a child with Selective Mutism at their preschool, primary school or high school, and would like to know the best approach to educating all school staff about this relatively unknown condition. This is not a comprehensive school treatment approach (as covered in our 3-hour seminars/webinars for classroom teachers who have a student with Selective Mutism), but strategies for all staff at a school to follow to prevent worsening the mutism and to allow the best environment for children with Selective Mutism to thrive.
