Chatty at home but silent elsewhere? Understand Selective Mutism and learn how to truly support your child.

This could mean they are experiencing selective mutism and this webinar is ideal to find out more about what that means.

Children experiencing selective mutism can't control when it happens and for parents and carers it can be really scary to try and help when you don't understand why it is happening.

To aid your knowledge and give you the confidence to support your child, we are being joined by award-winning Speech and Language Therapist Libby Hill.

She'll be explaining how selective mutism is an anxiety disorder and is responsive to a percieved lack of safety in certain situations.

What you will learn:

• What Selective Mutism is and what it is not.

• The causes of Selective Mutism

• Traits and presentations of Selective Mutism

• How to get an assessment for and diagnosis of Selective Mutism

• Practical ways that we can help a child or young person with Selective Mutism - for parents, teachers and practioners alike

Understanding more about selective mutism is key to being able to support a child who is experiencing it. With Libby's insight, you'll leave this webinar feeling confident on the next steps you need to take.
