I highly recommend this book by School Psychologist (Spring, Texas) 5 Stars
May 23, 2009
This book is an extremely helpful reference for working with children who have been diagnosed with Selective Mutism. The book provides a framework for developing a program to assist the child. It helps the therapist structure a program that leads the child through a gradual process of overcoming anxiety with speaking. The suggestions are easily implemented within the school setting. The activities suggested are fun and entertaining for the child. Even more important -- the stragegies work!

Excellent Resource by just paint (Midwest) 5 Stars

I wish I would have started with this book as well, but was put off by the price. Considering how much we've spent on therapy, the price now seems insignificant considering the value of the information this book contains.
