Lisa Kovac, PhD, BCBA

Lisa Kovac is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and certified school psychologist in Orlando, FL. Lisa got involved with the selective mutism population after one of her children was diagnosed with selective mutism in 2007. Frustrated with the lack of resources, knowledge and awareness of selective mutism in the local area, Lisa began researching the disorder and provided successful treatment to her child. Since then, she has become passionate about helping other families and children cope with selective mutism. Through her involvement in the Selective Mutism Association, she hopes to promote early diagnosis and subsequent early evidence-based intervention. She has been an SMA Florida State Coordinator since 2009, and currently serves on the SMA Board of Directors.
