"When our son stopped speaking at school, we assumed he was just having a little difficulty adjusting to a new teacher. However, after he even stopped speaking to certain family members, we realized we needed help. The first thing we noticed about Sara after meeting her was her warm and caring personality. After explaining to us that our son had selective mutism, Sara outlined a plan detailing exactly how she would treat him. Within a short while, the teachers were stunned! He began talking and socializing with everyone in the classroom! Since then, his confidence has increased by leaps and bounds and he is like a new kid. Thank you Sara for your help in transforming our son into a smiling happy child again!"
