مؤلف: Andrea Johnson ARNP PMHNP-BC

Patricia L. Mc Intosh is a wife, entrepreneur, and artist, but it’s the titles of mom and grandma that she treasures. Hearing people label her granddaughter, Mallorie, as stubborn, rude, or shy, Patricia decided to use her experience as a writer to be Mallorie’s advocate and bring awareness to the truth behind the silence. Andrea Johnson RN, MSN, PMHNP-BC has spent her career in healthcare and she is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Her medical background and one-on-one time spent with her niece Mallorie gives her a unique understanding of selective mutism from a professional perspective. Sara K. Mc Intosh, Mallorie’s mother, worries that her daughter will fall behind with education or not fit in with her peers due to her restricted speech. As a teacher, she understood the importance of early intervention and took advantage of resources available through her school. In this book Sara shares her thoughts.
