Hi everyone. Been to see a speech and language therapist at a drop in session today for the first time. They agreed my daughter has Selective mutism (mild form). I have come away without a clear idea of what help we can expect. I know the SLT is going to make contact with playgroup to advise them how to handle her anxieties about talking, but that's it. As she only goes 12 hours a week I feel I need some other assistance so I know what to do/not do.
Does anyone know what I should do next?
Also, does anyone know specifically if Bupa might cover this, or have been through the process of getting a referral for it and know what to say to the insurers? I had heard from a friend they won't cover it as they think it's developmental but even with my v limited knowledge I know it's anxiety based, not developmental.
Thanks.
