- Super informative!
I’ve learned a lot from this podcast that I have applied to the way I support my SM child and it’s been really impactful.

Just found this podcast. I had selective mutism as a child and still struggle with social anxiety, generalized anxiety and sensory issues. This is so interesting!

Dr. E is gifted at explaining complex ideas in a way that is easy for parents to understand and use right away. There are so many gems in these episodes. Well done!
Apple Podcasts5Counselor JaneenUnited Statesa year ago - Attended communicamp
We attended Communicamp summer ‘23 with my 9 yo daughter. We’re also in NV where services are lacking. I don’t know how we would have started/gotten through the school year. We are working closely w/teachers, speech therapy, psychologist. We added accommodations to her IEP. I continue to listen to Dr. E’s podcasts. Dr. E’s family approach is essential. As parents we use the tools we learned at Communicamp daily.
Apple Podcasts5sfk vegasUnited States2 years ago - I am very grateful to Dr. E!
I’m revising my daughter’s IEP which requires me to regroup (& improve) all the information I’ve provided annually. I’m so happy that you now have content in my favorite platform, a podcast. It’s unfortunate that such a common disorder is treated like it’s so rare. Or that evidence based treatment couldn’t be found in Nevada. YET, I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisa dedicating her career to children like our daughters.
