Subject: [Selective Mutism Support Group] Selective Mutism Diagnoses



I am thrilled to find this forum!! Can someone tell me how to go

about getting my son 'officially' diagnosed as a Selective Mute? I

live 2 hours east of Toronto, Canada. My son barely participated

during JK and never spoke to another child the entire year. He is now

in SK and will sometimes whisper to his teacher. Again, he is not

talking to the other kids in his class. And yes, he is perfectly

normal at home with his brothers. He is also very anxious at large

family dinners/functions and is known for 'shutting down' at them.

The school is likely going to want an official diagnoses at some

point. The pediatrician that our family doctor sent us to told us to

go home..."he will grow out of it". Is Kinark Child and Family

Services my best option? How do I get someone to come and evaluate

him at school? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank

you.
