Assata’s Selective MUTISM Treatment

Donation protected
HELLO ALL, as many of you may know My sister ASSATA, has Selective Mutism which is a   childhood anxiety disorder that manifests in certain social settings where a child is completely unable to speak or communicate. Children with this condition generally speak comfortably in familiar settings and with familiar people, but then completely “freeze” and experience intense anxiety in settings outside their comfort zone.  
I'm reaching out to you all to see if anyone is able to contribute to an intensive treatment camp Assata will be attending February in Pennsylvania. The cost of the 3-day camp is $2000 (not covered by insurance) which does not include housing, food or transportation. The program was highly recommended by her therapist and we are hoping it will help Assata with her selective mutism and social anxiety disorder as she is nearing adulthood. Anything helps and is appreciated! Rather you are able to help or not, if you would like more info regarding the program or updates on Assata's progress please send me your email. I've also included links below on Selective Mutism as well as a link to the program itself.
