SUMMARY:Selective Mutism in the School Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Individuals with Selective Mutism (SM) manifest social communication deficits based on the setting and expectations from others within a setting. Parents\, therapists\, and school staff are often perplexed as to how to help the mute child. Dr. Shipon-Blum\, an expert in treating children and adolescents with SM and developer of Social Communication Anxiety Treatment® (S-CAT®)\, conceptualizes SM as a social communication anxiety disorder where “not speaking” merely skims the surface of the difficulties these individuals face. Dr. Shipon-Blum has found that individuals with SM can make significant progress and transition to verbal communication when provided with comprehensive treatment that focuses on the whole person and improving his/her social communication and engagement skills. \nThe school environment is most often the setting where children present as mute. Progress in the therapy room and at home will not automatically generalize to the school setting without the implementation of specific treatment goals and adult facilitation from educational staff. SM treatment in the school requires a team approach involving the clinician\, parents\, and educational staff. Through collaboration and consistent implementation of specific treatment strategies and goals\, students with SM can transition to verbal communication in the school setting. \nThis conference will review the importance of the initial evaluation and assessment process that are critical in developing an effective treatment plan for an individual with Selective Mutism. Next\, the impact of SM on a child’s academic performance and ability to make progress and the need for accommodations and services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan will be discussed. A review of common comorbid disorders (e.g.\, speech and language disorder\, sensory processing disorder\, developmental delays\, etc.) seen in children with SM and sample accommodations and interventions to address these challenges in the school setting will also be discussed. Finally\, the presentation will identify and describe effective treatment strategies and interventions in treating SM in the school setting. \nThe conference will be led by world-renowned Selective Mutism expert\, Dr. Elisa Shipon Blum. Dr. Shipon-Blum’s S-CAT® treatment has helped thousands of children\, teens\, and young adults overcome selective mutism\, social anxiety\, extreme shyness\, and related challenges.

Based on 20+ years of experience treating Selective Mutism using Social Communication Anxiety Treatment® (S-CAT®)\, the evidence-based treatment approach created by world-renowned Selective Mutism expert\, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum\, we will help your child\, tween\, or teen build the social communication skills necessary for school\, the real world\, and at home. \n  \nClick here to let us know you’re interested!\n  \nThe CommuniCamp™ Mission is two-fold: 1) treatment in small\, peer-groups in a school for children and teens and 2) parent education\, training\, and support seminars: \nIntensive Group Treatment: \nOver the course of a three-day weekend (5 hours/day\, 15 hours total)\, our professionally trained counselors\, under the direction of our lead clinicians\, work directly with two-to-three campers on social comfort and confidence to instill social confidence\, increase communication\, and facilitate the learning of coping skills using S-CAT® based strategies using each camper’s individual baseline for social communication. Through these strategies and by removing the expectation for speech and respecting each camper’s baseline\, our campers see and hear themselves communicating confidently in a peer-group school setting which translates to their school environment when they get home. \nParent Training\, Education\, and Support Seminars: \nWhile campers undergo treatment\, we simultaneously provide 15 hours of intensive parent education\, training\, and breakout support sessions so parents can immerse themselves in the world of Selective Mutism and learn strategies\, ask questions\, share stories\, receive support\, and feel confident implementing the goals\, strategies\, and interventions the entire family learned at CommuniCamp™\, at home. \nCommuniCamp™ has been rated as “excellent\,” “life-changing\,” and highly recommended by parents! \nWHEN IS IT? \n\nFriday\, June 21\, 2024: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM EST (Welcome Orientation)\nSaturday\, June 22\, 2024: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day One\, Child and Parent Sessions)\nSunday\, June 23\, 2024: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day Two\, Child and Parent Sessions)\nMonday\, June 24\, 2024: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day Three\, Child and Parent Sessions)\n\nThe SMart Center’s CommuniCamp™ Program is held multiple times over the course of the year.
