In this video, I delve into the fascinating world of selective mutism, a complex anxiety disorder affecting children's ability to speak in certain social settings. Join me as I explore what selective mutism is, who it affects, and most importantly, how we can provide essential support for these children in school.

    Hate the expression selective mute. Nothing selective about it! Other forms of communication should be available as standard. Some people are non speaking and it's horrifying how they are silenced, excluded and their capacity and agency denied. It's a civil rights social model problem. Speech chauvinism must end. Putting pressure on people to communicate verbally is wrong.
