Unlocking the Mystery of Selective Mutism

 

 

Aimee Kotrba, Ph.D

Pediatric Psychologist

 

Offering expert evaluation, training, and treatment for Selective Mutism, an anxiety-based childhood disorder.

Do you want your child to be able to speak to others without being silenced by anxiety?

 

Approximately 1 in 125 children will be diagnosed with Selective Mutism, an anxiety disorder characterized by a child's 'inability' to speak in various social settings.  These children are able to speak at home and in settings where they are comfortable, secure, and relaxed.  However, this anxiety significantly impacts the ability of the child to participate in both social and academic activities in the school environment. 

 

With early diagnosis and research-based behavioral treatment, the prognosis is excellent.  Children do not "grow out of" Selective Mutism - don't allow your child to suffer in silence.  Dr. Aimee Kotrba offers expert counseling services in Plymouth, Michigan.  Get expert help today.
