Index Fear of Talking (Selective Mutism) What is selective mutism? The most common feature of selective mutism is when your child does not speak in social situations, including school, even though he can speak and understand spoken language. It used to be called elective mutism. What are the characteristics of selective mutism? You may notice your child is overly shy when she enters preschool or kindergarten and seems unable to talk to others in the new class. You may have noticed that your child had a limited group of people she spoke to before starting school. Then, after your child is in school for several months, you find out that your child is not talking there. Some characteristics of selective mutism are: Continues to not speak in social situations where talking is expected (such as school, Sunday school, play groups, around parents' friends), even though the child can speak in other situations (such as to family members). The situations of "nontalking" begin to interfere with the child's school work and social development.

70. Selective Mutism Research Study With University Of California San Diego A Family and Genetic Study of selective mutism Relationship to Social Anxiety Disorder and Serotonin Genes. This SM research study http://www.childhoodanxietynetwork.org/genetic.htm

A Family and Genetic Study of Selective Mutism: Relationship to Social Anxiety Disorder and Serotonin Genes This SM research study is a collaboration between SMG~CAN , Dr Elisa Shipon-Blum and The University of California, San Diego ( Dr. Murray Stein) Study Objectives: The objective of this study is to interview families in order to confirm that social anxiety disorder segregates within families of Selectively Mute children. A secondary objective is to determine the genetic make-up of parents, siblings, and the SM child in terms of an association with specific genes, such as the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) genes and subtypes which has been linked to anxiety disorders. Findings from this study will improve our understanding of the hereditary nature of Selective Mutism, it's relationship to DSM-IV anxiety disorders, and it's possible neurobiological association. Study Design: 50 families with SM children will participate in this study. Dr. Shipon-Blum will evaluate and either diagnose or confirm a previous diagnosis of SM to screen for the interview portion of the study. Upon acceptance into this study, if each SM family would TRY to provide us with another family (without SM) to serve as a control for the study.

NASP , Vol. 30, #5 February 2002 When the Words Just Won’t Come Out” Understanding Selective Mutism By Elisa Shipon-Blum, D.O. Selective Mutism Group Childhood Anxiety Network, Inc. (SMG~CAN) What is Selective Mutism? Selective Mutism (SM) is a complex childhood anxiety disorder characterized by a child’s inability to speak in select social settings, such as school.  These children are able to talk normally in settings where they are comfortable, secure and relaxed. Over 90% of children with Selective Mutism also have social phobia or social anxiety a persistent fear of social or performance situations. SM is quite debilitating and painful to the child.  Children and adolescents with Selective Mutism have an actual fear of speaking, often standing motionless with fear when they are confronted with specific social situations where there is an expectation to talk. This can be quite heart wrenching for both child and parents; these children are so anxious they literally freeze, are expressionless, unemotional and, often, socially isolated.  Although it is difficult to determine prevalence due to problems in diagnosis and misdiagnosis, recent research estimates that at least seven of every one thousand children have SM. Why does a child develop Selective Mutism?

Children with selective mutism are still, far too often, misdiagnosed. The inability to speak is attributed to shyness, developmental delay, learning disabilities or autism. Worse, children are accused of being defiant, oppositional, manipulative or insolent. They are alternately punished and bribed. Their school life becomes a nightmare as they are made to repeat grades or attend inappropriate special education classes. And their parents undergo suspicion, or sometimes even charges, of child abuse. And, we’ll point out right here and now, that there is absolutely no evidence that the selective mutism is caused by abuse or neglect by parents. Diagnosing the problem.

New Titles The Selective Mutism Resource Manual Selective Mutism is a rare condition but it is important because selectively mute children are at a significant disadvantage personally and socially. It is also a greater barrier to learning, with the increased emphasis on verbalisation within the school curriculum. More resources and attention are often directed towards the disruptive child. This unique manual emphasises practical assessment and treatment, advice and information, filling a significant gap in the availability of suitable resources in this field. The approach is based on behavioural principles and a hierarchy of stages of confident speaking originally conceived by Anthony Glassberg. Starts with a summary of the literature and theory, followed by detailed ideas on assessment and management, with accompanying material that can be photocopied. Case examples and a discussion about progress, transfer and discharge are included. Contents Frequently asked questions; General assessment considerations and implications; Preliminary investigation; Child interview and assessment; Creating the right environment: advice for home and school; General treatment considerations; Overview of the treatment progression; A structured treatment programme; Eliciting speech for the first time/Generalising speech across people and settings/Effective practice; Parent and teacher support; Letting go; Illustrations of intervention.
