This Podcast provides an overview of Selective Mutism (SM), defining it as a complex anxiety disorder rather than defiance or a choice. It outlines the characteristics of SM, noting that affected children can speak but anxiety prevents verbal communication in specific settings, such as school, though they typically communicate well at home. Judy-Ann-The author of Mastering The Moment: 10 Keys to Classroom Victory, (https://rb.gy/065k3q) presented as excerpts from a collaborative conversation, details practical strategies for educators and caregivers on building comfort and communication with students who have SM, including starting with nonverbal acceptance and using gradual communication building techniques like forced-choice questions and video recordings. Furthermore, it covers academic accommodations, methods for creating a supportive environment (stressing consistent, warm interactions and specific praise), and crucial red flags to avoid, such as pressuring the child or calling attention to their silence
