Access

Selective Mutism (SM) is a complex, anxiety-based disorder that requires a comprehensive, individualized treatment approach.

The DIR®-SM Program integrates the Developmental, Individual Differences, and Relationship-Based (DIRFloortime®) framework to support individuals with SM in progressing toward verbal communication.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of the Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities (FEDCs) speaking hierarchy, guiding participants through each stage of communication—from non-speaking to verbal engagement.

Participants will learn effective intervention strategies, including the Systematic Sound Sequencing Strategy (SSSS), which encourages sound production and two-way communication.
