Testimonials

“Thank you Susannah for helping my 20 year old twin daughters get through University with their Selective Mutism. Susannah has shared her amazing techniques which my daughters now incorporate into their daily life to increase their confidence and achieve any goal. Susannah has proved that anything is possible.”

“The training was enriching. It has re-shaped my approach working with young people with Selective Mutism to effect positive change in their lives.”

“Really great, so practical and easy to apply to practice.”

“I really enjoyed the training and gained some valuable information.”

“Useful for ideas and inspiration to boost therapy focus and confidence with working with those who may not yet be ready to directly work on speech targets.”

“It was really useful and helped me to develop a plan for working with an 18 year old with SM. I had lots of experience with younger children but felt daunted about teenagers where the SM was more entrenched.”

“I am definitely seeing some positive results with small steps plans and using the comfort scale – including buying small items at the local corner shop :)”

“Excellent training, loads of practical ideas and really helpful that you asked your clients to input. Thank you, I would highly recommend to everyone who works with this client group.”
