Selective Mutism Association

For parents and caregivers supporting a child with selective mutism, connection matters.

Join SMA’s Virtual Parent Support Group Meeting on July 23 from 8–9 PM EDT for a supportive space to share stories, ask questions, and connect with other parents who understand both the challenges and rewards of raising a child with SM.

Space is limited to keep the group intimate, and this meeting will be held in English.

When supporting a child with Selective Mutism, many adults worry about saying the wrong thing, asking too much, or moving too quickly.

But the truth is: you do not have to be perfect to be helpful.

Moments that feel challenging or awkward are not failures. They can be opportunities to pause, reduce the communication demand, and try a more supportive next step.

Learning how to adjust in the moment is one of the most valuable skills for helping children build confidence and communication.

Join the Selective Mutism Association for a free live webinar with Q&A: How to Bounce Back After a “Mistake” When Working with Children with Selective Mutism with Adelia Sabintsev, Psy.D.
