[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. BIG hugs! 2. Get a different therapist ASAP! 3. I'd ease off the play dates for now and focus on things she enjoys. When she's a little more ready, I'd recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Its-Much-Work-Your-Friend/dp/B000WMOFA2/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367357064&sr=1-1&keywords=it%27s+hard+work+to+be+your+friend There's a checklist in the back about how to have a successful play date. Also, I wouldn't worry about an SN program at this point. I've known at least two kids, one in early elementary and one older elementary who went through a selective mutism stage. It will get better.[/quote] Thank you, PP! It sounds like the book would be very helpful. I think since we began therapy, there's been a lot of pressure and focus on getting my daughter to talk. I think you're right in shifting the focus to doing things she enjoys. It's just so hard to not push, especially when she's regressing. [/quote]
