Working with Selective Mutism: Children and Adolescents (Part 1)

This introductory one-day course provides an overview of the nature, causes, diagnosis and assessment of selective mutism (SM).
You'll also learn how to use informal management strategies. The emphasis is on an inclusive 24/7 approach to promote well-being and participation.
When applied consistently within family and educational settings, these techniques will enable some children to fully overcome their difficulty talking, while laying a firm foundation for more formal small-steps intervention programmes if indicated.
This course is run by UCL's Division of Psychology and Language Sciences (PaLS).
