Selective Mutism Awareness
Selective mutism is a debilitating disorder that can have a very serious impact on children and is also commonly misdiagnosed and overlooked. Selective mutism awareness is vital for parents, teachers and individuals with this disorder so that they can overcome its potentially devastating effects and minimise the symptoms.

We will also offer specific tips for parents and teachers, whereby we will discuss concepts such as diagnoses, understanding the disorder, how teachers and schools can help and how families can be more supportive.
Finally, we will provide some practical tips for parents and teachers, to encourage regular communication in children with selective mutism.
