Selective Mutism The Book - 'The Silence Within', is a case study of a child with whom Gail Kervatt worked with. The child had not spoken in school for 5 years and overcame his disability after seven months of intervention, without the use of medication. "My book is different than any other available in that it is written for teachers and guidance counselors by a teacher, in a lesson plan format that is familiar to school personnel. I found in my school system that no one was willing to work with this child, due to lack of knowledge or strategies. We have since had 4 more children diagnosed as sm. School is the very place that the child fears the most and my feeling is that school is where an intervention should take place. The lesson plan format in my book is inviting for school personnel to use on a daily basis as an intervention. The parent of my student felt that their private psychologist was a support for the family, but that the success was implemented in school. The strategies described in my book are based on research and have been approved as a sound approach by several authorities on the subject including Lindsey Bergman, UCLA researcher, Matthew Selekman, a national speaker and author on child anxiety, and Dr. Reiner Bahr, author and practitioner. They incorporate cognitive behavior mod, stimulus fading, and shaping. Check out Selective Mutism |
