Speaker: Brittany Bice-Urbach, Associate Professor and Clinical Psychologist
This webinar will emphasize intervention strategies when directly implementing school-based exposures for children with selective mutism. This session will specifically focus on both developing and implementing exposure practices in school environments. The session will provide participants with a) tools for gathering data about a child’s current speaking comforts in the school environment, b) planning forms to help school teams develop concrete intervention plans, c) examples of creative school-based exposure practices at 3 levels of communication (i.e., nonverbal, communicating with a few individuals in the building, higher level speaking), d) ideas for efficient progress monitoring, and e) problem-solving through common barriers within exposure practice. Participants will leave with concrete recommendations and resources to successfully support exposure practice for children with selective mutism as they build their comfort to communicate in school settings.
