The Ideal
Classroom Setting for the Selectively Mute Child
by Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum
Dr.
Elisa Shipon-Blum's second edition of The Ideal Classroom Setting for the
Selectively Mute Child is a wonderfully informative guidebook that will
provide parents, teachers, and treating professionals with the advice
necessary to understand the needs of a child with Selective Mutism in the
school setting. The second edition of Ideal Classroom is an updated and
more comprehensive guide book than the first edition, including a new
introduction, extra chapters and more FAQ's. The book is informative and
entertaining and goes into detail about tactics that can be easily
incorporated into the classroom to benefit and accommodate the needs of
the Selectively Mute child. Recommendations on testing, IEP development
and multiple methods to help lower anxiety, build self esteem and increase
communication comfort within the school are emphasized throughout this
book.
The Ideal Classroom Setting for the Selectively Mute Child is easy to
read, graphically attractive and is an important reference for all those
involved with a Selectively Mute child within the school environment.
