Unstoppable: How Rising Star Rachel Ling Gordon Made Incredible Accomplishments Despite Having Selective Mutism

Most children develop Selective Mutism between the ages of 2 and 4 but they don’t often receive help until they are 6 to 8 years old. Research consistently shows that children make more progress the earlier they receive treatment. It can never hurt a child to learn strategies to feel less anxious and practice communicating with others, even if they are three years of age.

As a part of our “Unstoppable” series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Rachel Ling Gordon.

Rachel is an 8-Year-Old Actor & Singer who played the role of “Cindy Lou Who” in the 10th Anniversary Broadway National Tour of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”. Rachel has performed piano solo at Carnegie Hall and walked the runway at New York Fashion Week. She has also been featured in the news and in numerous TV and print commercials.
