Unspoken Words: A Selective Mutism Podcast by Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum

We attended Communicamp summer ‘23 with my 9 yo daughter. We’re also in NV where services are lacking. I don’t know how we would have started/gotten through the school year. We are working closely w/teachers, speech therapy, psychologist. We added accommodations to her IEP. I continue to listen to Dr. E’s podcasts. Dr. E’s family approach is essential. As parents we use the tools we learned at Communicamp daily.

I’m revising my daughter’s IEP which requires me to regroup (& improve) all the information I’ve provided annually. I’m so happy that you now have content in my favorite platform, a podcast. It’s unfortunate that such a common disorder is treated like it’s so rare. Or that evidence based treatment couldn’t be found in Nevada. YET, I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisa dedicating her career to children like our daughters.

This is my favorite pod bc the hosts and guests break down the complex concepts into really easy bits and strategies to understand

I have already learned so much! Please keep them coming!
