Selective Mutism Awareness Certificate

Selective Mutism Awareness Certificate Course

Selective mutism is a debilitating disorder that can have a very serious impact on children and is also commonly misdiagnosed and overlooked. Selective mutism awareness is vital for parents, teachers and individuals with this disorder so that they can overcome its potentially devastating effects and minimise the symptoms.

When discussing treatment, you will learn about the goals of treatment, how to choose the right treatment provider and the various types of treatment that are available for individuals with selective mutism.

We will also offer specific tips for parents and teachers, whereby we will discuss concepts such as diagnoses, understanding the disorder, how teachers and schools can help and how families can be more supportive.

Finally, we will provide some practical tips for parents and teachers, to encourage regular communication in children with selective mutism.

  • The characteristics, signs and symptoms of selective mutism
  • The causes and triggers of selective mutism
  • Treatment of selective mutism —- how to choose the right provider, establishing treatment goals and the various treatment options available

It was a very informative and thorough course. And was made easy to learn and understand different aspects of Hotel Industry and Management issues through day-to-day examples.
It not only enlightened me with Hotel Management but Management in general as well.

I will keep these precious tips and notes handy to refer back to them when needed. In a nutshell, money well spent and I will come back for more courses in future.

The beauty of this course was how easy yet composite this course was. And the manner in which the notes are written made it very easy for me to carry on grasping knowledge from the beginning to the end.

Having worked in schools for years and having a recently diagnosed son this course has opened my eyes to the world of Autism. The course is both informative, easy to work through and enables the learner to gain full understanding about all aspects of Autism.

Through completing this course I have gained employment supporting a child with Autism and I have been able to implement many strategies to assist both my pupil and also my own son.

I would highly recommend this course if you would like to gain a richer understanding of Autism and would like to study online and at your own pace.

I ordered the wedding planner course as I am off work and wanted to make use of my time. This course is extremely well set out and easy to follow. The course is broken down into easy to manage modules covering absolutely everything you need to know about being a wedding planner. You can complete these modules at your own pace and you get the chance to review the modules you have completed at any time you wish. The modules take you through the step by step process of planning a wedding including all the pit falls. I am enjoying this course and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going into this area of work. The course gives you some very handy tips on things that you may well not have thought about. So what are you waiting for, sign up for an excellent course at a more than reasonable price.

I completed the international massage diploma months ago and love to keep revisiting modules. I learn something new each and every time because there’s such a wealth of information presented in a beautifully user-friendly way with excellent videos to accompany each massage technique.

I’m already a working massage therapist, who enjoys attending short courses to up-skill and be able to provide my clients with more value. And ‘The New Skills Academy’ massage course is simply one of the best investments I’ve made in my ongoing professional development.

I’m now a whizz at facial massage (something they didn’t teach at massage school) and Lomi-Lomi too! Highly recommended!

Bee Scott

Really good course that covered lots of different areas within events planning. I liked that, if there were any questions you got wrong on the tests, you could find out which ones and try again. Lots of case studies to look through too.
