    Creating Safety Before Speech: A Nervous System Approach to Selective Mutism

    The session explores the connections between early development, emotional regulation, movement, retained primitive reflexes, and the nervous system, illustrating how these systems interact to shape a child’s capacity to engage, relate, and communicate. It places particular emphasis on how safety, predictability, and reduced pressure can support regulation and communication across both home and school environments.
