A Desperate Silence (Dr. Sylvia Strange book 3)
“She wasn't experienced with kids; she'd grown up without siblings, but she'd learned a few tricks from the offspring of her friends. She kept watch while Serena brushed her teeth, wielding the toothbrush with great reluctance. And when the girl finally plopped herself down in the bathtub, Sylvia perched on the rim with a soapy washcloth. She felt like a hygiene cop as she worked over the child's ears, toes, and elbows, scrubbing fiercely.
While she supervised the morning bathroom session, ...she contemplated the possibilities for Serena's continued therapeutic treatment. She had already considered working with Serena within a scripted verbal format—her reaction to the Grimms' tale had been encouraging. One form of therapy for mute children involved working with songs, poems, stories, or games where verbalizing was scripted and demanded no spontaneity. In many cases—with patience—these children learned to speak outside the home. But Sylvia also knew that Margaret Tompkins had worked with children who would dictate lengthy stories but would not answer free-form questions—not even after months or years of treatment.MoreLess
