Selective Mutism? Selective Mutism formerly called elective mutism, but was changed in recognition of the fact that a child does not choose, or elect, to be selectively mute. SM is still called Elective mutism in other areas of the world. This psychiatric disorder most commonly found in children, characterized by a persistent failure to speak, so as to be heard in select settings which continues for a reasonable period of time, usually a month or two. These children understand language use and have the ability to speak. In typical cases, they speak to their parents and a few select others. Most do not speak in school or in other social situations. Generally, most function normally in other ways, although some may have additional disabilities. Most learn age appropriate skills and academics and are thought to be extremely shy.
