Hi Sandy,

Just noticed your post. We have found a therapist with experience in SM and she is very good. We have been seeing her privately in North Melbourne since April this year (fortnightly) and Chloe has made tremendous strides. She is now comfortable to communicate to her friends at kinder and doesn't mind being overheard by the kinder teachers, but she still freezes up if a direct question is asked of her by the teachers (they only do this sparingly). The lovely thing is, she is such a happy little girl at kinder now - she participates fully in all activities and has made a few good girlfriends. She is no longer clinging to me when I drop her off. She has spoken a few words/sentences to her teacher during home visits, but this speaking has not transferred over to the kinder. Anyhow, please feel free to email me gnm123@bigpond.net.au directly if you would like to discuss further. I can tell you more about our therapist.

Cheers, Mary
