My Name is Eliza and I don't talk at school - video audio book for children (with illustrations)

See this video of children watching a snapshot of the video audio book:

'My name is Eliza and I don't talk at school' can now be watched in video form showing the illustrations, and read by Lucy Nathanson.

There is an adult section included which we recommend you read before showing the video audio book to the child.

There are also discussion questions included which you can use to talk to your child about the story.

Your child can watch the video alone or with an adult, depending on what you think would be best for your child.

This beautifully illustrated and positive book is an excellent aid and therapeutic tool for both therapists and parents of primary-age children with selective mutism. Selectively mute children who are aged 6 years and over can also read this book themselves or with an adult. The book opens with a section for adults to read before presenting the story to the child, explaining how best to use the book and the therapeutic approach to helping children with selective mutism, as well as including useful discussion questions. Eliza's charming story then follows. In the first half, Eliza describes how she feels in different situations, both at home and at school - feelings that will resonate with many children with selective mutism. In the second half, we discover how she begins to overcome her fear with small steps and easy methods that parents and therapists can adopt. With delightful artwork, this story will help children with selective mutism feel as though they are not alone, as well as offering parents and professionals a way to begin a conversation with the child about their selective mutism and suggest the steps to help them.
