Can speech therapy help children with selective mutism?
Yes. Speech therapists work closely with psychologists and educators to:
-
Build communication confidence in safe settings
-
Gradually expand where and with whom a child feels comfortable speaking
-
Use positive reinforcement and behavioural strategies
-
Support families with routines and expectations
Therapy is tailored, gentle, and always focused on reducing anxiety around speaking.
