3 1. What is selective mutism?
4 Selective Mutism is... A pediatric psychiatric disorder. When a child consistently fails to speak when he/she is expected to, (at school or in social situations). These children do, however, manage to speak appropriately in other settings. Most often diagnosed when the child starts school or preschool.
5 Characteristics of Selective Mutism It can have an impact on a child s socialization and academic development. Sufferers can speak and comprehend language. It is very rare, about 0.1% of children suffer from it. It is treatable.
6 Why? The condition is most frequently accompanied by anxiety and shyness. Causes of the condition remain unclear. It is treated most often with therapy. In severe cases or in cases where the child may be suffering from other illnesses, the patient may be treated with medication as well.

11 2. Identifying & Teaching Students
12 Identifying Selective Mutism Can be diagnosed after 1-6 months of mutism (not counting the first month of school!) Sudden loss of speech is referred to as hysterical mutism, and is often short. Age of onset: between 3 and 8 years old. Diagnosis cannot be made if the child s difficulties can be better explained by a lack of knowledge of the language (think ESL classroom or Classe d Accueil).
13 Factors Contributing to or Maintaining Selective Mutism Predisposing: Presence of speech and language impairment Anxiety, wariness and hypersensitivity Family history of shyness or selective mutism Precipitating: Perpetuating/Exacerbating Separation, loss or trauma Reinforcement of the mutism by increased attention and affection Frequent moves or migration Lack of appropriate intervention or management School or nursery admission Over-acceptance of the mutism Self-awareness of speech impairment Ability to convey messages successfully non-verbally Geographical or social isolation Family belonging to an ethnic or linguistic minority Family history of other psychiatric illness, especially anxiety Teasing and other negative reactions
14 What can I do as a teacher? In the classroom: Do not force student to speak; Consider implementing an IEP; Minimize anxiety-producing situations; Classmates need to understand the situation and be encouraged to interact positively with the student; Make sure the student understands that help/support is available from teachers, other adults, and classmates; Encourage intrinsic motivation.

18 WHAT CAN I DO AS A TEACHER?
19 3. Treatment & Intervention
20 From the Get-go Treatment in regards to selective mutism is quite critical; treatment/intervention at an early age is very important Seeking treatment can prevent ongoing mutism and prevents worsening the condition Ensure an accommodating, supportive environment
21 3 Types of Treatment Behavioural strategies Gradual exposure to social activities/situations Cognitive-behavioural strategies Coping thoughts and easing worry thoughts Medication for children who do not respond to behavioural strategies As teachers, we want to focus on behavioural techniques we can use in the classroom
22 Classroom/School Interventions Specific intervention techniques used widely: Sliding-in Fading Successive approximation Encourage the student to participate in structured social activities like team sports Good morning/goodbye rituals ( See you again! ) Educating other students and staff Parental involvement: Ensuring the child has a proper doctor Working with the doctor/teacher/parent/child so they can all work together to progress the communication of the student
23 Useful Resources School Speech Questionnaire* Name of Teacher Who Completed This Questionnaire: When responding to the following items, please consider the behavior of your student,, and activities of the past month and rate how often each statement is true When appropriate, this student talks to most peers at school. Always - Often - Seldom - Never When appropriate, this student talks to selected peers (his/her friends) at school. Always - Often - Seldom - Never When called on by his/her teacher, this student answers verbally. Always - Often - Seldom - Never When appropriate, this student asks you (the teacher) questions. Always - Often - Seldom - Never When appropriate, this student speaks to most teachers or staff at school.

28 WHAT ARE INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTIVE MUTISM?
29 4. Top 10 Myths Let s start with the first set of slides
30 MYTH # 1 Selective mutism is extremely rare. 7.1 in every 1,000 (Bergman, 2002) 0.8 per 1,000 (Fundudis, 1979) Lack of knowledge: inadequate recognition of symptoms just shy Diagnosed autistic
31 MYTH # 2 Selectively mute children are typically severely emotionally disturbed, usually because they have suffered abuse, neglect or trauma. Assumed in older case reports, but no evidence is offered Anxiety causes certain people to be overly sensitive Normal life events trigger anxious responses (such as selective mutism)
32 MYTH # 3 Families of children with selective mutism are typically dysfunctional. High incidence of anxiety in close relatives of selectively mute children, but there is no evidence that family pathology causes SM symptoms Older literature discusses overly- or under-attached mothers to children with SM Bonding difficulties might be a result rather than a cause
33 MYTH # 4 Selectively mute children use their silence as a form of passive aggression, manipulation, or defiance. Implies that a children makes a conscious decision to be silent
34 MYTH # 5 Selective mutism is extremely difficult to treat. Now that we understand it, most children make great progress What increases the odds of success? Early diagnosis Multimodal treatment
35 MYTH # 6 Selective mutism is really just severe shyness; most children will grow out of it. Shyness is not paralyzing as is selective mutism Physicians and educators should recommend evaluation of any child meeting the criteria for selective mutism. Otherwise, the window of opportunity for optimal treatment results will be missed.
36 MYTH # 7 Adults who work with selectively mute children should let the children know that there is a firm expectation for speech. Expectation of speech causes anxiety SM children need: Intervention to reduce anxiety Instruction on recognizing & coping Support & encouragement
37 MYTH # 8 Selective mutism is a form of autism or is on the autism spectrum. Behaviour of SM children varies with situation, environment, or audience. Selective mutism is SELECTIVE unlike autism Clinicians are unfamiliar with this disorder DSM-IV does not recognize all behaviours that come with SM (blank expression, lack of eye contact) The diagnostic criteria [of DSM-V]are largely unchanged from DSM-IV
38 MYTH # 9 Selectively mute children tend to be below average in intelligence. Difficult to evaluate by traditional verbal methods Clinicians that work with large pop. of SM believe that they are above average in intelligence, and that many are gifted Not proven/more research is needed
39 MYTH # 10 Children with selective mutism usually don t function well in the mainstream classroom and often shouldn t be promoted to the next grade level because they aren t speaking. Many do well, especially if not pressured to speak Alternative methods to complete assignments Children with disabilities have accommodations to place them on a level playing field
40 5. What can recovered adults tell us?
41 5 MAIN THEMES 1. Origins of selective mutism 2. Maintenance of selective mutism and the importance of social role 3. Determination, social anxiety and loneliness 4. The recovery process 5. Current psychological adjustment
42 1. Origins of Selective Mutism Many recovering adults realized that their selective mutism stemmed from a traumatic experience in their childhood.
43 2. Maintenance of Selective Mutism and the Importance of Social Role I think they just got used to or thought that, OK, that s how they are, and there s not much to do about it. They just accepted it, they gave up.
44 3. Determination, Social Anxiety & Loneliness We were terribly worried, especially about new situations, unfamiliar situations, different situations; we were scared to death, new people, especially men and dominating people, authoritarian people, formal situations. (Identical Twins)
45 4. The Recovery Process I didn t actually know who I was. I thought it was normal, that things are like this. It s only the huge inner anxiety that gave me a clue that this is not normal and I have to do something.
46 5. Current Psychosocial Adjustment But I have no limits, I can do it. No one can disconcert me as long as I m in control.
