Selective Mutism is often missed or completely misunderstood. The sad part is with early treatment, children with Selective Mutism can make great progress.\n\n\nThat is why I brought on Anna Biavati-Smith, a Speech and Language Therapist as well as one of UK’s top leading Selective mutism specialists onto the podcast. She discusses not only what Selective Mutism is, but the many different approaches parents can take to help their child.\n\n\nTo learn more about Anna’s work visit her website at: https://www.edinburgh-speech-therapy-wordsteps.co.uk You can also subscribe to her Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCB7TlKdKZAWIGsU-2mIerA\n\n\nThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.\n\n\nVisit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.com\n\n\nSign up for my weekly email newsletter:\nhttps://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172\n\n\nTake one of my online classes:\nTo view the entire online school library, go to:\nhttp://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.com\n\n\nClasses include:\nHow to Crush Social Anxiety\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxiety\n\n\nParenting Kids with OCD \nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocd\n\n\nCrush Moral OCD in Kids\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocd\n\n\nTeaching Kids to Crush Anxiety\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety\n\n\nHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviors\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviors\n\n\nHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleep\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleep\n\n\nHandling Sensory-Based Anxiety\nhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxiety\n\n\nLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)\nhttp://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/library\n\n\nUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:\nhttps://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ \n\n\nTo join my private Facebook group visit:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/\n\n\nInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?
