SUMMARY:Webinar Using Fun to Override the Fear: The Pivotal Role of Fun During Caregiver-Led Exposures
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\n\n\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9zSmcoDCTIa5FDtp7Indmw#/registration \n\n\n\nSelective mutism (SM) is a complex anxiety disorder that affects many children and can be challenging for parents and caregivers to navigate. Parents and caregivers play a critical role in their child’s treatment and recovery\, and finding family-friendly exposures is essential to help children overcome their fears. In this webinar\, our presenters will share fun and interactive strategies for caregiver-led behavioral exposures that can help children with SM reach their treatment goals. By blending pleasurable play with exposures\, caregivers can cultivate positive relationships\, increase motivation and engagement in treatment\, and ultimately generalize play-based verbal gains with other people\, in various settings. This webinar will be an excellent resource for parents\, caregivers and mental health professionals who and are looking for effective and enjoyable treatment strategies.  \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:  \n\n\n\n1. Identify 3 components of effective exposures for selective mutism  \n\n\n\n2. Describe 3 examples of speaking exposures during fun (preferred) activities  \n\n\n\n3. Summarize 3 examples of interactive\, speaking exposures during non-preferred tasks

SUMMARY:Selective Mutism Training Institute for Professionals
DESCRIPTION:The Selective Mutism Training Institute (SMTI) is an in-depth 2-day training course for professionals working with children diagnosed with selective mutism (SM). The workshop is intensive\, and skills-based with the goal of increasing competence in providing empirically-supported treatment of SM to professionals with beginner and intermediate exposure and skills in assessing and treating SM. We maintain a high instructor to participant ratio to ensure adequate time for modeling and video role-play of the skills. \n\n\n\nThis is a unique opportunity for mental health professionals\, speech-language professionals and graduate-level trainees to learn cutting-edge\, innovative techniques to effectively treat children with SM. Small group\, video consultation with the course instructors following the 2-day training is included in the cost\, allowing participants to further apply the skills in their own unique clinical settings. \n\n\n\nThe workshop starts with providing a framework for understanding the etiology of SM\, highlighting the role of nature\, nurture\, temperament\, and developmental differences in the onset and maintenance of SM\, social anxiety\, and other common comorbidities. Strategies for behavioral\, developmental\, and language assessment will be reviewed\, including how to conduct observations of children with SM. Evidence-based interventions will be covered in depth\, including behavioral strategies such as stimulus fading\, shaping\, positive reinforcement\, and parent education/coaching. State-of-the-science interventions\, such as intensive treatments\, group-based interventions\, and school consultation will also be taught. Speech and language conceptualization\, assessment\, and interventions will also be reviewed.  \n\n\n\nPlease note: At this time\, this training is only offered in English. SMA is not able to offer translation services. Registration is limited to 30 registrants. \n\n\n\nEarn up to 11 CE Credits \n\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, visit here: \n\n\n\nhttps://selectivemutismassociation.ce-go.com/selective-mutism-training-institute-for-professionals-20-12-2023-571
