Brave Talking Ladder & Scary Chart | Selective Mutism Printable
When a communication step feels too big, breaking it into smaller, achievable stages can make progress feel more manageable. This printable Brave Talking Ladder and Scary Chart gives children and the adults supporting them a simple visual way to plan small communication steps and reflect on how each step felt.
The ladder can be used to build a sequence from an easier starting point towards a more challenging goal. The Scary Chart can then help the child show how difficult or uncomfortable a step felt, so the next step can be adjusted rather than rushed.
