Selective Mutism 101

Do you suspect that your child has selective mutism or has your child recently been diagnosed? Are you seeking a better understanding of this disorder and how to best help your child? If you are like most parents, you have many questions and are struggling to find answers. Please join Rachel Busman, Psy.D., ABPP, as she discusses the distinguishing characteristics and diagnostic features of Selective Mutism. Dr. Busman will review some common myths and perceptions about SM, along with how SM is negatively reinforced. She will discuss PCIT-SM (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for SM) in-depth and review skills to help your child with their ‘brave talking.”
