Description: Assessing and treating children with Selective Mutism (SM) is an often overwhelming and uncomfortable task. Even clinicians with years of experience find kids with SM to be challenging. Due to the prevalence of SM and it being nearly as common as Autism, a clinician can find this webinar helpful and applicable to daily practice. This webinar will delve into the role of the speech-language pathologist when assessing and treating children with SM. Utilizing a co-treatment model and the DIR/Floortime Model, will also be discussed. Through the use of visual media and case studies, participants will gain a better understanding of the Stages of Communication Comfort and how to use those Stages to develop a systematic treatment plan.
