Selective Mutism in Elementary School

Abstract

Selective mutism is an infrequent phenomenon, often first identified in the school setting. This article presents the historical background for the treatment of selective mutism and current diagnostic symptoms of selective mutism, and then elaborates with a case study illustrating successful multidisciplinary treatment outcomes of a child who was selectively mute. Issues relevant to speech-language pathologists working with elementary school children are discussed, and treatment guidelines are provided.
