Selective Mutism and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Integrated Treatment for Children
At Thriving Minds Behavioral Health, we specialize in evidence-based therapy for children with co-occurring Selective Mutism (SM) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our treatment approach helps children reduce anxiety, improve communication, and succeed in both home and school settings.
What does treatment for SM and ASD look like?
Our treatment model includes:
Collaboration with your child’s psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists
Anxiety-reducing strategies paired with social communication skill-building
Structured routines and visual supports tailored to meet the needs of children with ASD
Bravery-building exercises to support verbal communication in a gradual, supportive way
Coordination with schools to ensure consistent expectations and behavioral supports
This approach helps children feel safe, confident, and ready to engage across environments.
Who is this therapy program for?
This program is ideal for children who have — or are suspected to have — both Selective Mutism and Autism Spectrum Disorder. It’s a strong fit for families looking for specialized support to manage anxiety, build communication skills, and increase social confidence.
