Does your child talk confidently at home but freeze around others? Do teachers say, “I’ve never heard your child speak”? This is not shyness, not autism, and you are not alone.
It could be Selective Mutism, a brain-based freeze response. With the right support, children can feel safe enough to speak in new settings.
I’m Anna Biavati, Speech and Language Therapist, and I help parents, teachers, and therapists:
🧠 Understand the brain behind anxiety and speech
🌱 Use movement and connection to calm the nervous system
💬 Support children without pressure
🏫 Create school environments where children feel safe to speak
✨ Build confidence through the Brave Muscle Method
This channel offers tools, strategies, and neuroscience you wish you had from day one.
Parents, start here.
Therapists, deepen your practice.
Children, discover your brave voice.
