Much of the research on Selective Mutism is based on subjective findings with few participants. What is needed are objective studies with a large database of participants.
The Selective Mutism Anxiety Research and Treatment Center (SMart Center)
and Selective Mutism Research Institute (SMRI) are committed to performing and disseminating information on Selective Mutism treatment options, new scientific advances, and research studies.
