The Association of Chief Psychologists with Ontario School Boards SELECTIVE MUTISM SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHERS Typical Characteristics of Selective Mutes These children do not speak in many social settings, particularly at school, even though they may use normal speech and language at home. They may be withdrawn and exceptionally shy at school and generally do not speak to teachers or classmates. Selectively mute children may or may not actively participate in non-verbal classroom activities, and may appear anxious or nervous in various situations. They are often accepted and well-liked by their peers, who may speak for them. Selective mutism is most common in the first two years of school, and is rare beyond that. Approaches to Treatment There are several reasons why children may not speak, and it is therefore important to determine, where possible, the specific factors for each child. Consultations with community professionals and others who know the child well (for example, physicians, teachers, school support staff, etc.) are important sources of information for distinguishing among extreme shyness, cognitive disability, language impairment, emotional distress, and so on; the reasons for the lack of speaking will likely determine the nature of the intervention undertaken. It is important to intervene with selectively mute children for at least two reasons: failure to do so may have long term negative ramifications in later childhood, adolescence, and adulthood; and proper intervention is usually successful, resulting in better social and academic functioning for the child.

Selective Mutism: Although this is not classified as a child anxiety disorder, selective mutism is often seen around the time that children enter school for the first time, and can be accompanied by anxiety. The essential feature of selective mutism is the persistent failure to speak in specific social situations (e.g., school, with playmates) where speaking is expected, despite speaking in other situations. In order to be diagnosed with selective mutism, the person’s speech refusal must interfere with educational or occupational achievement or with social communication, and must be going on for at least one month. Selective mutism is not diagnosed if the individual’s failure to speak is due solely to lack of knowledge of the language. Primary Symptoms: Primary symptoms of selective mutism include persistent failure to speak in specific social situations where there is an expectation for speech. The child should be able to speak in other situations. This disorder is usually first seen in childhood, and is treatable with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Treatment: Sponsored by Psychzone Inc.

I think my 4-year-old child suffers from selective mutism. When he was a tiny baby people could not get close to him, hold him, or talk to him, or he would start screaming. If I took him places where there were a lot of people but I usually had to leave because he would cry a lot until I got him in the car and then he would stop immediately. He talks a lot at home to me and some people in our family, however, he won't speak to anyone out in public, except for me and he hardly does even that. At the beginning of the year in public school, he did okay. He played with other children. He spoke to them not a whole lot but he did talk to them and sometimes to his teachers. By Christmas though, he would not go back. He would hide in the closet at school. Does this sound like selective mutism or is it something else? How can he be tested for what he is suffering from? What kind of doctor should I take him to or what should I do to evaluate him at home?

Without Samuel the term elective mutism would have had only a fleeting interest for me. What I knew about it came from a fascinating chapter on the subject in book " Reflexes, Learning and Behavior " And then came Samuel, five-year-old twin boy of one of my friends. For a whole year Samuel never opened his mouth in pre-school. If the teacher tried to find out if he had learned what she had tried to teach, there was no reaction. The parents did not particularly worry about this, because when he came home, Samuel would cheerfully tell his mother everything that went on in class, and showed her what he had learned. Obviously, Samuel was not stupid! Then came kindergarten. The twins were placed into different classrooms, because otherwise the boy twin would usually follow whatever his sister told him to do. Thus, when the two were separated, it became obvious that there was a huge difference in their behavior. The little girl took an active part in class, and played with others during recess. Samuel never talked in class and in the schoolyard just stood motionless on the sidelines. At this point the parents finally asked me to look at the children. As the parents watched, I did the

Selective mute: Is your child mute or just shy? Selective Mutism was, at one time, a rare disorder. Is your child shy or selectively mute. Selective Mutism was, at one time, a rare disorder. However, over the years more and more children seem to be silencing themselves selectively. Due to the fact that Selective Mutism is a disorder that is not widely discussed, it is difficult to decipher wether a child is just shy, or if there is something more serious happening with that child. Selective Mutism: What is it? bodyOffer(27025) "Elective mutism was first identified in 1877 as 'asphasis voluntaria' and described as Elective Mutism in 1934" (Wright, 1994). In 1994, with the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV Elective Mutism had a name change to Selective Mutism. Selective Mutism is found more in girls than in boys and usually develops before age five, but may not be brought to "clinical attention until entry into school " (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV, 1999). Selective Mutism may last anywhere from a couple of months to years at a time. Causes of Selective Mutism: Some of the research on what causes Selective Mutism describes biological difficulties as a cause of this disorder. Biological deficiencies combined with psychological and social problems have been indicated in some groups of selectively mute individuals. The social consequences of any disability whether it is speech, language, or intellectual may deter the child from speaking in select social situations (Nolan, 1970). It is essential to indicate whether the absence of speech is related to any biological ddifficulty that child may be experiencing. Therefore tests related to speech, language, and intellectual development need to be administered prior to giving the diagnosis of Selective Mutism.

These children understand spoken language and have the ability to speak. In typical cases, they speak to their parents and a few selected others. Sometimes, they do not speak to certain individuals in the home. Most do not speak in school, and in other major social situations. Generally, most function normally in other ways, although some may have additional disabilities. Most learn age-appropriate skills and academics. Currently, SM is thought to be related to severe anxiety and social phobia. SM may be associated to a variety of things, but the exact cause is yet unknown.

Brief Overview of Anxiety Disorders GAD OCD PTSD ... FAQs Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents Selective Mutism Children who refuse to speak in situations where speech is expected or necessary, to the extent that their refusal interferes with school and making friends, may be suffering from Selective Mutism, thought to be a severe form of Social Anxiety Disorder. Onset of Selective Mutism is usually before five years of age, but it often comes to a head when the child enters school. The average age of diagnosis is between 4-8 years old, but these children probably exhibited "extreme shyness" at a much earlier age. For Selective Mutism to be diagnosed, the behavior must persist for at least one month. These children can be very talkative, even boisterous when at home, or in a place where they feel comfortable. Children suffering from Selective Mutism may: Stand motionless and expressionless, turn his/her head, chew or twirl hair, avoid eye contact or withdraw into a corner.

Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum is the Executive Director of selectivemutism.org - an organization dedicated to providing information about a much misunderstood disorder called selective mutism. The following was conducted in early May of 2001. Questions were posed by the editor of shykids.com and answered by Traci Castles and Dr.Shipon-Blum. Q. What is Selective Mutism? A. It is an adorable 6 year old boy who runs around boisterously in his backyard...but stands expressionless, staring into space within the classroom. It is the comical 6 year old girl who dances and sings in the entertainment room while her family proudly watches on...but stands motionless and cannot utter a sound when her class rehearses for the school musical. It is a 9 year old boy cheering loudly and intensely as he watches his favorite hockey team score a goal, but sits alone at a party and sadly turns away when another child approaches him. It is a sensitive and perceptive little 5 year old girl who tells her parents all the exciting and fun things she wants to do at her birthday party..but has never spoken a word to anyone outside her home. Q. How do you determine if a child is shy and if the shyness is merely developmental or if the child requires professional help? A.
