The well-known technique of “fading in” or “sliding in” is often used to help children with selective mutism establish speech with new people or in new places. However, in some cases, the fade-in strategy alone isn’t enough, or for a number of reasons, may not be an option for clinicians to use in their setting. This webinar will review additional strategies that clinicians can use to help children establish speech in new situations and with new people, along with applied examples of activities related to these techniques. This webinar is geared toward treating professionals, counselors, social workers, speech-language pathologists, educators and school professionals. Parents and caregivers may also find the information valuable as they navigate treatment.
