Identifying and Treating Selective Mutism with Aimee Kotrba

Led by Aimee Kotrba, PhD

If you’re concerned about children with selective mutism, it’s important to act fast. Untreated cases can lead to self-esteem issues, depression, and school failure.

That’s where Dr. Aimee Kotrba comes in. As an internationally renowned expert, she’ll guide you through identifying and treating selective mutism, a childhood anxiety disorder, in this 4-hour workshop.

Through the use of case studies and examples, participants will learn how to identify and assess selective mutism and what school and mental health professionals can do to help. Interventions are broken down into small, easily understandable steps that participants can use immediately with their patients or students.

At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will be better able to —

• Identify and evaluate selective mutism in the clinic and in the school
• Describe what schools/parents can do to help
• Create a specific, evidence-based intervention plan
• Identify appropriate social and academic expectations
