Supporting children with selective mutism

Some children speak freely and comfortably in certain spaces, yet find it much harder to use their voice in other settings or with unfamiliar people. This experience is often described as Selective Mutism (SM) or Situational Mutism. For parents, this can feel confusing and worrying—wanting to support your child while not increasing their stress. This 1-hour introductory webinar will help you understand what’s happening beneath the silence, and offer everyday strategies to gently support your child’s confidence, safety, and connection. Led by Danielle Cottam, Speech Pathologist and founder of Selective Mutism Western Australia, this session provides reassurance, clarity, and practical next steps.

Together we grow-Supporting autonomy connection and advocacy with children with a PDA profile

Gentle, Practical Support for Families Navigating PDA-Like Profiles If you’ve been hearing the term Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) or PDA profile of autism and wondering what it means for your child or classroom, you’re not alone. This workshop offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore the basics — without jargon, labels, or pressure. I’m Evonne Jones, a Principal Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist with 20 years’ experience supporting children and families in both government and private practice. I’m not a PDA specialist, but I work alongside many families where high autonomy needs and demand avoidance show up in daily life. This workshop shares practical, easy-to-try ideas that can reduce stress, build connection, and help you collaborate with school — while staying grounded in your child’s sense of safety.
