Winning over Selective Mutism

My youngest daughter J.J (Jay-jay) struggled with this anxiety disorder since she started going to School all the way to 5th Grade. It was a long hard battle that will drain your patience and emotions.
From Winning over Selective Mutism
There were days when your frustration as a parent will carry you down the drain of hopelessness.
From Winning over Selective Mutism
We thought that Jayjay will overcome this emotional anxiety, but she never did.
From Winning over Selective Mutism

Till one day, Jayjay had a minor accident, she bumped her head on the playground at school but could not say anything. Despite the pain she felt words won't just come out of her mouth. She just cried silently on her own.

Time for professional intervention.
We were so fortunate, The Psychology Dept. of the University of Maryland was conducting research and treatment for Behavior Therapy for anxiety disorders.

Around 6 months of treatment with the finest Clinical Psychologist and Therapist in the country. Jayjay finally started to talk at school on the 5th Grade.

From there on, there was no stopping.

3 years after...
