Being Unmuted is a blog created to help raise awareness for Selective Mutism and make it easier to find resources to help those with Selective Mutism and people who know them.
A person who has Selective Mutism is unable to speak or speaks in a low tone in given situations or to specific people, but will speak in a normal or more audible tone in other situations. Selective mutism usually co-exists with shyness or social anxiety.
If you know someone who you suspect has Selective Mutism, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of Helping Your Child with Selective Mutism: Practical Steps to Overcome a Fear of Speaking By Angela E. McHolm PH.D. Th
