My daughter is 10 years old and I have been struggle with selective
mutism since her first day of school. At first we did not know what
was wrong and with a lot of reading and my own investigating I came to
the conclusion that this is what she had. Went to see a specialist who
did diagnose her with SM and proceeded to tell me she will out grow
it. Wrong information. I have supported my daughter through this and
with my help and and her stong willingness to want to work on this.
Taylor is now at the point where she is talking to 5 of her closest
friend outside of the school property. She will speak to these 5
friends on the phone and just last week she video taped a school
project and allowed the whole class to watch it. Now I want to
increase her speaking to her friends on the school property and sahe
has shown a want in talking with her teacher how should I go about
this. Does anyone out there have some advice for me
thank you
