Selektiivistä mutismia ei välttämättä huomata kuin vasta päiväkoti- tai kouluiässä. Lapsi saattaa puhua kotona, mutta tietyissä tilanteissa hän ei saa sanaa suustaan.

Selektiivinen mutismi on ahdistuneisuushäiriöihin luokiteltava puhumisen vaikeus. Selektiivinen mutismi on tunnettu termi, mutta alidiagnosoitu vaiva – liian usein puhumattomuus laitetaan ujouden piikkiin. Häiriö kehittyy lapsuudessa useiden tekijöiden vaikutuksesta ja se aiheuttaa huomattavaa sosiaalista haittaa.

Selective mutism -koulutuksessa tutustut selektiivisen mutismin perusteisiin ja tunnistamiseen. Opit keinoja, joilla voit kuntouttaa onnistuneesti, ilman että lapsi ahdistuu yhä enemmän ja puhuu vielä vähemmän.

Koulutuksen jälkeen osaat erottaa selektiivisen mutismin muista puhumattomuuden häiriöistä ja tunnistat, onko lapsella puhumattomuutta ylläpitäviä tekijöitä ympäristössään. Kouluttajana toimii selektiivisen mutismin pioneeri Maggie Johnson.

Koulutus pidetään englannin kielellä.

Kenelle koulutus sopii?

Koulutus on tarkoitettu puheterapeuteille ja muille sosiaali- ja terveysalan sekä opetus- ja kasvatusalan ammattilaisille, jotka ovat kiinnostuneista aiheesta.

Shyness, selective mutism or something else?

Selective mutism (SM) is an anxiety disorder characterised by a consistent failure to speak in certain situations, despite being able to speak freely at other times. No longer considered to be a rare disorder, most schools and nurseries have at least one of these children on roll, with a steep rise in areas with a high migrant or bilingual population.

SM frequently goes unrecognised and is commonly mistaken for shyness, poorly developed language, deliberate refusal to speak or a feature of autism, leading to years of preventable anguish and frustration for the individuals affected, their families and their teachers.

The longer SM is ignored or mishandled, the harder the silence is to break, and the greater the risk of under-achievement and long-term psychological distress. Education for all is essential to establish a common understanding of the nature of the disorder and best approach to management.

What will the participants learn?

In this training you will learn how to make a diagnosis of SM and distinguish between SM, shyness, reluctance to speak and traumatic mutism. You will hear about the nature of SM: how it develops and what it means for the child. You will gain a comprehensive introduction to evidence-based management of SM and learn how to identify factors that prevent progress and address them.

This training gives you everyday management techniques to talk openly to children about their SM and engage them without putting pressure on them to speak. You will also learn how to guide perhaps anxious parents and manage peers who talk for the child, how to facilitate participation rather than avoidance. In addition, you will gain know-how for communication at home and school and the competence to maintain progress when the child is transitioning to a new class or school. You will attain how to implement a small-steps programme to establish and generalise speech across a range of settings as well as additional considerations when working with children who are exposed to more than one language or children who show signs of regression.
