Description: A hallmark feature of Selective Mutism (SM) is the difference between how children behave in the comfort of their home environment and the stress of a more social and public environment. Caring for a child with SM and another diagnosis, such as a sensory processing disorder (SPD), can also create additional challenges. This webinar will discuss these unique challenges to families of children with SM and how to address them. Family struggles include functional and behavior areas such as: toileting, sleeping, procrastinating, and being strong-willed. Strategies to support families to help bring successes rather than struggles will be the focus. Real world case examples will be utilized. As a clinician, it is important to be aware of family struggles and how to integrate approaches into a child’s plan of care. Strategies for clinicians will be provided, as well as discussing the specialized programs, advocacy, and accommodations in the school environment.
