Key facts
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.
University College London (UCL) offers the Working with Selective Mutism - Foundation Course (Module 1) programme.
