Finding a Voice: Selective Mutism
Today’s episode sheds light on a topic that many people don’t know much if anything at all about. On this episode, the bitches bring on Chelsea Gamache, a BCBA, who was diagnosed with Selective Mutism at the age of 5 years old. We find out what it was like to grow up with such an extreme anxiety, that no words come out. She gives us the inside scoop on how we can help these individuals struggling to find their voice. Tune in or miss out.
