Remote Fade-In Guide

How to gradually introduce new individuals to a child with SM.

Children with selective mutism often have difficulty speaking to new and
unfamiliar people (e.g., teachers, coaches, peers). Conducting a “fade-in,”
whereby new individuals are gradually introduced to the child, is an
effective strategy to support kids in speaking with others. Fade-ins can be
conducted both in-person and remotely using videoconferencing. Prior to
engaging in a remote fade-in, we encourage you to review the
Understanding & Treating Selective Mutism (SM) Handouts, which provide
information on a number of strategies referenced throughout this guide.
This resource was developed as a complementary resource to provide
additional guidance on how to conduct fade-ins remotely.
