Description: This is a therapeutic activity for children with communication differences PLUS It's extra useful for children who display selective mutism because this product gives those children a means of communicating nonverbally. (This BUNDLE contains an informational PDF about treating selective mutism that you can download). As you know, communication delays and disorders can affect children emotionally and socially. Using the cards and the sorting mats (“Yes, I agree” and “No, I don't agree”) helps the child to communicate feelings about talking without needing to actually speak. Going through this important process can help you discover the root of the mutism and identify situations that may facilitate or hinder speaking. It's truly an eye-opening activity to use with ANY child with any kind of speech or language disorder if you suspect it's having an impact on their social/emotional health. Hopefully, this will help you establish goals for the child and learn what activities or in what situations the student would be most likely to speak. It is crucial to develop a safe, secure and relaxing environment and to establish a trusting relationship with the child.
