2. When I supported a child with SM as a TA, we worked on sliding in and shaping but now I wish I had done more to educate other staff about SM and advise them on how to communicate effectively with children with SM. Thank you for such an informative day @GMSMNetwork
1. Reflecting on an amazing event organised by @GMSMNetwork. I learnt so much about selective mutism: the causes, how to support children, and how it can impact family members.
