SENSITIVITY
TRAINING
A
complete reference guide authored by Sue Newman, Co-Founder
of the Selective Mutism Foundation, Inc.
This powerful, 20 minute classroom presentation educates while it simultaneously replaces isolation,
teasing, or harassment of the Selectively Mute student with understanding, acceptance, and
friendship. These goals are attained through guided student participation by associating with the
symptoms of social anxiety. The live presentation, in lieu of a lecture or video, is vital, as classmate
participation and interaction produce the desired results. Professionals or parents can easily conduct
this step-by-step presentation.
Sue Newman is the leader in Selective Mutism and originator of school based intervention plans. She
invented, and implemented the only
Inservice/Sensitivity Training for Selective Mutism into various
educational institutions long before Selective Mutism was officially recognized as a social anxiety disorder. She created this
original approach in recognition of the urgent need to bridge the gap between Selectively Mute students and their classmates.
Her unique presentation to reach students is implemented in schools world wide and is regarded as the model for classroom
inclusion, by professionals and families.
