How to overcome selective mutism?

Overcoming selective mutism is a process of building confidence, reducing anxiety, and supporting the child through every stage of development. Strategies that help include:

- Creating low-pressure, supportive environments at school and home.
- Using role play, games, and gradual exposure to speaking.
- Encouraging social connections in safe, structured ways.
- Involving parents and teachers to ensure consistency.
- Accessing professional therapy, such as CBT and speech therapy.

With these supports, most children are able to overcome selective mutism and thrive socially and academically. Contact us now.
