Understanding Selective Mutism in Children
Selective mutism is a severe form of social anxiety disorder that manifests in children who speak normally at home but fail to communicate in social settings like school. This disorder is often linked to a behaviorally inhibited temperament characterized by heightened reactivity to unfamiliar situations, as identified by Jerome Kagan. Managing selective mutism typically involves exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), where children gradually learn to speak in anxiety-inducing situations through a structured hierarchy of speech tasks. These tasks progress from making voiceless sounds to answering questions, with a focus on initiating speech in social contexts like school, often incorporating rewards for success.
