Selective mutism, or refusal or unwillingness to speak in certain
situations or settings, poses a particular challenge to educators
and other school-based professionals. In many cases, school
personnel are on the front lines of assessment and treatment for
these children and must help them succeed in an academic setting.
This can be difficult considering that many school-based
professionals are pressed for time and resources.
Helping Children with Selective Mutism and Their Parents: A Guide
for School-based Professionals provides information that can help
readers better understand and combat selective mutism. Written for
guidance counselors, teachers, principals and deans, school
psychologists, and school-based social workers, this book educates
readers about the nature of selective mutism and its most common
clinical manifestations (such as social anxiety, oppositional
behavior, and communication difficulties). Offering methods to
determine the form and function of a child's chronically mute
behavior, the book provides evidence-based strategies to enhance a
child's verbal participation at school and in other social and
academic activities. The chapters provide advice for working
collaboratively with parents, preventing relapse, and tackling
special issues. Easy-to-read and conversational in style,
HelpingChildren with Selective Mutism and Their Parents offers
numerous visuals, handouts, case vignettes, and FAQs. The book is
an essential resource for educators faced with children with
selective mutism, as well as other professionals who work with this
population, including clinical child psychologists and
psychiatrists, social workers, and pediatricians.
