Summary:

This resource outlines the sequence and essential elements to guide clinicians through a comprehensive, integrated programme for young children who display symptoms of SM. It explains how this approach utilises behavioural interventions targeting gradual increases in speaking across settings in which the child initially has difficulty. The integrated nature of the therapy refers to the goal of incorporating input from the clinician with that from the parents and teacher, as well as others impacted by the lack of speech.
