Through evaluations, trainings, and ongoing support, we guide educators, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals in helping students grow in their communication, connection, and participation

Our team conducts in-depth evaluations for school teams across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. These evaluations provide a clear diagnosis, actionable strategies, and tools for data-based progress monitoring. We empower schools with a solid foundation to help students bridge the gap from brave talking at home to brave talking at school.

School teams are a critical part of helping children with selective mutism thrive. At Our Brave Voices, we work collaboratively with teams to provide resources, strategies, & mentorship geared to empower staff in their role as “brave voice teachers.” From creating individualized programming to fostering classroom inclusivity, our team provides hands-on guidance step-by-step. Together we can support confident speaking and ensure a more supportive & inclusive environment for every child.

Research shows that children with selective mutism thrive when support extends beyond a single setting.

Our mission is to empower children to find their brave voices and help families move beyond silence.
