Testimonials

After doing an interview with a parent of a child with Selective Mutism she suggested a website to go to that she found was very helpful. I haven't had a chance to completely look over the website, but the first thing I went to was testimonials. All of these stories were about how well children are doing and how Dr. Shipon - Blum has helped. I thought these were really awesome to read. Through out a lot of these blogs we have been asking questions and talking about negatives with disabilities. So after reading these I thought it would be a good idea to blog about them and hear about families success stories.
I am posting this testimonial because many of the stories I have read about have been girls and this one is a boy (that is another question I want to look at is the boy to girl ratio for SM) and because I hearing how happy the parent is that her child is doing well can give hope to other families.

Dr. E.,

Our son is doing great each day. He now plays with his classmates with complete verbal communication. He communicates well with his teacher. He places orders at restaurants and he is not afraid to respond to questions to any one. Of course he hesitates first, but what a tremendous change. He is now enjoying life. His academic performance also sky rocketed with the teachers being able to evaluate him and see his skills. He raises his hand often in class to answer questions. Everybody in school and outside is amazed by his performance.

None of these would have been possible without you. You are a miracle maker and we always talk about you. God bless you to change many more lives.

There are a lot of other great stories on this website. http://www.selectivemutismcenter.org/aboutus/testimonials
I would suggest taking the time to read some. I can't wait to keep exploring this website and seeing what else I find!
