Inspiring Brave Voices Across New England
Hello! My name is Annie DiVello and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist specialized in the area of selective mutism.
I am passionate about empowering school teams across the country effectively support students with selective mutism. In New England, I provide collaborative, creative, evaluations and consultative support to help school teams bring their students’ brave voice to school via small steps programming.
I provide a variety of selective mutism trainings, including web-based trainings, for school teams internationally as an ASHA CEU provider. The National Institute for Health recognizes anxiety as the fastest growing disability around the world. This leads to an ever-increasing number of children with Selective Mutism needing help from their school teams to find their brave voices.

Support for SLPs
ASHA defines the role of the SLP in the management of selective mutism and shares that we are an integral part of the support process. I empower school-based SLPs to step into their role of “brave voice teachers” for their students with SM.
