Selective Mutism

Selective Mutism is characterized by consistent failure to speak in specific social situations (in which there is an expectation for speaking) despite speaking in other situations. Such symptoms last at least 1 month and interfere with educational or occupational achievement or with social communication. The failure to speak is not due to a lack of knowledge of the language or due to a Communication Disorder.
