Selective mutism is an anxiety based condition. A child may speak freely at home but feel unable to speak in certain situations, such as at school.
This can affect learning, confidence and relationships. Selective mutism can occur on its own or alongside other differences such as autism.
Speech and language therapists help reduce anxiety, build confidence and support children to communicate more freely in different situations.
