At home, Edmond is a talkative, fun-loving, silly kid who loves to play video-games, make videos, play with his dog, learn Spanish, and swim. Edmond has a diagnosis of Selective Mutism, due to trauma, so outside the home he rarely, if ever, talks. Making friends is a challenge but day-by-day, he is exercising his courage and practicing speaking to peers and adults. We are always so proud of him when he tries to speak to someone like ordering ice cream, saying thank you, or all these other daily speaking opportunities his peers take for granted. Edmond excels at school and actually got to go see a Warriors game for being one of the top students in his entire 4th grade last year!
