Course overview

This study day builds on the core techniques covered in ‘Working with Selective Mutism Part 1: Effective Approaches to Assessment and Management of Children and Adolescents’. The focus is on children and adolescents who need more than the core programme to address their selective pattern of communication e.g. those with a complex diagnosis, family issues or simply not making expected progress.

Target audience

All professionals and support workers from educational, health and mental health backgrounds who have completed Part 1 training. Case-workers and therapists working with adults are also welcome.
