Summary

“He’s just shy, he’ll grow out of it.” That’s what many parents hear when they voice their concerns about a child with undiagnosed Selective Mutism. Selective Mutism is often missed or completely misunderstood. The sad part is with early treatment, children with Selective Mutism can make great progress.That is why I brought on Anna Biavati-Smith, a Speech and Language Therapist as well as one of UK’s top leading Selective mutism specialists onto the podcast. She discusses not only what Selective Mutism is, but the many different approaches parents can take to help their child.To learn more about Anna’s work visit her website at: https://www.edinburgh-speech-therapy-wordsteps.co.uk You can also subscribe to her Youtube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCB7TlKdKZAWIGsU-2mIerAThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the

0:35.6	I've only had one other podcast about that,
0:37.9	and that was episode 117 when I talked to Patsy Butterworthworth and she was full of amazing information.

1:10.7	her last name. I tend to do that with people and actually she was part of the
