good resource by K. (MA)  5 Stars
January 14, 2009
A very helpful resource for anyone just learning about selective mutism. I was impressed to read about the great work Dr. Elisa Siphon-Blum is doing in this area.
The only negative comment I have is that the booklet was only 25 pages long. Definitely overpriced for a booklet of this size.

Review from a special education teacher by Laurie Cappas (Long Island, NY) 5 Stars
August 30, 2004
I am a special education teacher and I have searched high and low for a book that would be beneficial for me, my student, and the parents. After reading this book, I realized that this book is a necessity for anyone who comes in contact with a selective mute child/person/student/relative... ECT... I have gained many techniques and information from this book. Prior to this book, could not find any decent books relating to the selective mute except this one. Not only is this book "decent" it should be mandatory! If you do not purchased this book you will be missing out valuable information that the doctors don't even know!
