Abstract:

The school nurse plays a pivotal role in the assessment and treatment of selective mutism (SM), a rare disorder found in elementary school children. Due to anxiety, children with SM do not speak in uncomfortable situations, primarily the school setting. Diagnosis of SM is often missed in the formative years because the child does speak at home. Early diagnosis and treatment provide the key to addressing this rare disorder. The school nurse plays a critical role as a member of the Instructional Support Team (IST). The school nurse, as team liaison, provides communication between parents, school staff, and medical personnel. School nurses make a difference by advocating for the child with SM and possessing the necessary knowledge to effectively intervene. This article discusses a team approach to the assessment and treatment of SM and the role of the school nurse in the school setting.

Abstract:

The core symptom of the anxiety disorder selective mutism (SM) is absence of speech in specific situations, such as at school. The most commonly used standardized instruments to assess speaking behavior are the parent-rated Selective Mutism Questionnaire (SMQ) and the teacher-rated School Speech Questionnaire (SSQ), scored from 0 to 3, indicating that speaking behavior never, seldom, often, and always occur. They were developed to assess severity of mutism and potential effects of treatment. However, prospective data on speaking behavior in typically developing children (TDs) are missing in the literature. The main aim of this study was to present data from TDs over time with previously reported data from children treated for SM, as a comparison. Participants were 64 children aged 3–9 years, 32 TDs who were a matched control group to 32 children with SM. At baseline, the mean SMQ and SSQ scores were ⩾2.5 in TDs and 0.5 in children with SM. The TDs did not show significant changes over time, while significantly increased speech was found in children with SM after treatment. Thus, our findings support the use of the SMQ/SSQ to assess baseline SM severity and to evaluate potential treatment effects in future studies.

Abstract:

Introduction : Selective mutism (SM) characterized by the consistent absence of speaking in specific situations, while adequately speaking in other situations. SM can have a debilitating impact on the psychosocial and academic functioning in childhood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the recommended approach for SM. Methods:A database research was performed to identify all relevant articles on the Treatment of selective mutism in children and adolescent patients in the last 5 years (from 2017 to 2022). Results:5 Articles were revealed by our literature research after exclusion the Articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: The psychological and the Pharmacological treatment for selective mutism was supported with these findings, while combination treatment generally limits the evidence. The potential involvement of autism spectrum disorder in SM has implications for clinical practice when treating children with SM. The intricacy of the etiology of SM makes a multimodal approach to diagnosis and treatment highly recommended. The identification of various illnesses with different etiologies and courses may sometimes begin with the diagnosis of selective mutism as a preliminary diagnostic. In people with selective mutism, developmental disorders and some other diseases frequently coincide.

Abstract:

The Selective Mutism is a disorder that affects children, characterized by the lack of oral communication in social exposure environments, being mainly identified at the beginning of the school term. This is a review article, in order to analyze in literature studies on the contributions of Therapy Cognitive-Behavioral at work with children diagnosed with Selective Mutism, and the use of techniques effective for treatment. The literature review occurred through the search for articles in the databases: Pepsic, Scielo, BVS-Psi e Google Scholar. Throughout this research, boolean descriptors and operators were used: “Selective Mutism” AND “Childhood” AND “Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy” AND “Treatment”. From the review critical reading of articles, twelve journals were selected, in the period between 2014 and 2020, in which the data was collected and organized through file, until they are analyzed and included in relevant information for the topic. The results found demonstrate that, the treatment of children diagnosed with Selective Mutism must be performed early, considering the social and learning losses related to it. The Cognitive-Behavioral Model has been shown to be effective and supported by methods and techniques that help the treatment of Selective Mutism and other childhood anxiety disorders.

Abstract:

Abstract. The symptoms of selective mutism disorder in children cause it to be less able to speak in social situations where children are expected to speak. Interventions in the form of fading stimulus are expected to teach children new behaviors so that they are more adaptive in social situations. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of stimulus fading methods in reducing symptoms of selective mutism disorder in children. This study uses a single case experimental design with treatment in the form of the application of fading stimulus intervention in one 4-year-old boy who experienced symptoms of selective mutism disorder. The instruments of data collection were observation techniques of tallying behavior and rating scale, selective mutism questionnaire, and school speech questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that after giving intervention within 10 days, the subject experienced significant progress, the subject became more expressive, could mingle and interact with others. Therefore, it can be concluded that the stimulus fading method can be used to reduce the symptoms of selective mutism disorder in children.

Abstract:

Objective:Selective Mutism (DSM-IV: 313.23, ICD-10: F94.0) is a rare phenomenon in child and adolescent psychiatry, with prevalence rates below 1%. Patients limit their verbal communication and social functioning is severely impaired. Evidence for treatment strategies is scarcely available, especially in patients with concomitant pediatric disorders.Method:This case report provides information on the psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatment of selective mutism in an eight-year old girl with thalassemia major. The patient presented to the psychiatric department after her second (successful) bone marrow transplantation for treatment of her selective mutism which was present already prior to transplantation. As permanent medications she received penicillin prophylaxis (500.000 IE/d) and deferasirox (Exjade; 20-25 mg/kg/d), a recently approved iron chelator.Results:Long term psychotherapy (CBT) in a day-time clinic, supported by the use of the SSRI Fluoxetine (10 mg), led to a decrease in the Selective Mutism score from 29 to 17 points - GAF improved by 21 points. Reintegration in the school context was established. Mean levels of Fluoxetin and N-Fluoxetin were 287,8 ng/ml without significant level fluctuations.Conclusion:This case adds further evidence, that a combination of psychotherapy and psychopharmacological interventions (SSRI) proves effective in treatment resistant Selective Mutism. Monitoring blood levels of the SSRI is crucial in providing treatment to patients receiving multi-pharmacological treatment.

Abstract:

Children with selective mutism might suffer from less frequent involvement in school activities, reduced social and cognitive abilities, in addition to being at increased risk of subjective suffering and developing other associated morbidities. There is a lack of evidence regarding the assessment modalities that should be used to evaluate selective mutism. However, recent data show that the selective mutism questionnaire (SMQ) is validated among different investigations with well-established psychometric properties. In the present literature review, we have discussed the definition, uses, and importance of the SMQ for children with selective mutism in primary care settings. Our results show that the different included studies indicate the sensitivity and reliability of the tool to assess the severity of behavioral speaking among these children. Besides, evidence has shown that the tool can be used to assess the impact of treatment on the behavioral outcomes of these children. Based on these data, it has been demonstrated that the treatment of selective mutism can significantly enhance the scores and the behavioral speaking patterns. However, these scores were still relatively lower than the ones estimated for the typically developing children. The impact of more intensive treatment modalities has been suggested but was not adequately validated, and therefore, further research is a must for adequate interpretation and validation of the current findings to achieve better outcomes.

Abstract:

The present work describes the assessment process, evaluation strategies, and cognitive intervention on a 9 years old child with selective mutism (SM), a monovular twin of a child also affected by mutism. Currently, the cognitive behavioral multimodal treatment seems the most effective therapeutic approach for children diagnosed with selective mutism (Capobianco & Cerniglia, 2018). The illustrated case confirms the role of biological factors involved in mutacic disorder but also highlights the importance of environmental influences in the maintenance of the disorder with respect to relational and contextual dynamics (e.g. complicity between sisters, family relationships). The article discusses furthermore the importance of an early diagnosis as a predictor of positive treatment outcomes.

Abstract:

This article is presented as a clinical case study in research and the arts that explores the journey of a 7-year-old girl with selective mutism, and her growth through an integrative intervention that combined dramatherapy, systemic, behavioral, and attachment-informed approaches. Sessions took place in Shanghai, China. Gorla et al. (2017) [Without words. Different children in different contexts (Trans.). A.G. Editions] and Perednik (2016) [The selective mutism treatment guide: Manuals for parents, teachers, and therapists: Still waters run deep. Oaklands] propose that the significant others of a person with selective mutism can become therapeutic agents of change, and through this lens, the child’s family, peers, and school staff became involved. Through the use of play and the therapeutic relationship and the coming together of specialties and community, it is posited that the client found her voice again, enhancing her relationships and embarking on a journey of lasting change. The dramatherapy-based, multimodal intervention provides an example of clinical practice intended to assist therapists, parents, schools, and practitioners looking to support an individual with selective mutism.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS) is an extremely rare (1 per 5 million estimated incidence), subacute movement disorder characterized by myoclonus and/or ataxia, opsoclonus, and behavioral disturbance with or without neuroblastoma. Many pediatric patients will experience long-term cognitive, behavioral, and motor sequelae. This case study describes deficits associated with a rare course of OMS and will present a poly-etiologic hypothesis for the observed profile. Improved understanding of the phenotypic variance in atypical OMS may promote diagnostic clarity and subsequent intervention for a rare presentation that is scientifically underserved. Method: Patient presented with viral infection at 2 years of age that led to loss of motor and speech functioning and ultimately a diagnosis of OMS. Patient exhibited typical features of cerebellar mutism syndrome (mutism, emotional lability, motor impairment), with rapid recovery of gross motor skills. Patient’s mutism has persisted for several years despite immunomodulatory treatment and normal neuroimaging findings. Results: Neuropsychological results indicated below average performance across intellectual, language, motoric, and academic domains. Functional and adaptive impairments secondary to social anxiety and separation distress were also exhibited. Diagnostic criteria for Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety Disorder were met. Significant anxiety, post-event stress, attachment needs, altered speech/language development, and personal temperament are all probable contributors to her prolonged mutism. Conclusions: This case study examines OMS with prolonged mutism. Mutism, while not uncommon in some cerebellar disorders or post surgically, is not well documented in the OMS literature and may represent a rare outcome. These findings add to the phenotypic variability, developmental course, and profile of atypical cerebellar presentations.

Abstract:

Objective: To examine the outcome within 6 to 8 months of medical and nonmedical intervention for children with severe selective mutism (SM). Method: Children with SM ( n = 17) and their mothers, seen in a previous study, attended follow-up appointments with a clinician. Obtained by maternal report were: treatment received, current diagnosis (based on semi-structured interview), speech in various environments, and global improvement. An independent clinician also rated global functioning. Results: The diagnosis of SM persisted in 16 children, but significant symptomatic improvement was evident in the sample. All children had received school consultations. Children who had been treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) ( n = 10) showed greater global improvement, improvement in functioning, and improvement in speech outside the family than children who were unmedicated ( n = 7). No differences were evident for children receiving and not receiving additional nonmedical intervention. Conclusions: The findings suggest the potential benefit of SSRI treatment in severe SM, but randomized comparative treatment studies are indicated.

Abstract:

Children are admitted to Kindergarten and are expected to help develop their social skills. There are children who are easy to socialize, but there are children who have difficulty adapting and communicating while in the school environment, this condition can be said to be a child experiencing Selective Mutism. With the application of the role playing method, it is expected to be able to handle children who experience Selective Mutism. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the role playing method could reduce the symptoms of Selective Mutism in children. This study used a single case experimental design method with the treatment in the form of role playing given to children. The research subject is a 5-year-old boy who attends Kindergarten on Pamulang, South Tangerang. From the research that has been done, the results show that the application of role playing is effective in overcoming children who experience Selective Mutism, where changes in children's behavior are seen such as being able to start interactions with friends, wanting to play with friends, not crying when their mother is left alone at school, and willing to follow all school activities.

Abstract:

Selective mutism (SM) is a childhood disorder characterized by persistent failure to speak in situations where speech is expected. There is evidence that behavioral interventions are effective for increasing speech in children with SM but studies have been limited by small, relatively homogeneous samples. Although twins appear to be disproportionately represented among children with SM, little is known about their specific treatment needs and barriers to effective treatment implementation in this population. This case study presents family-based behavioral therapy delivered to a set of 8-year-old, identical twins with SM. At posttreatment, both children displayed marked improvements in speaking and social engagement. Clinical considerations for working with twins with SM are discussed.

Abstract:

Selective mutism (SM) is an anxiety disorder that is characterised by a consistent failure to speak in certain social settings where the individual is expected to speak while in other situations, speech is normal. It often starts in childhood and is thought to affect around 1 in 140 children in the UK. If recognised and treated early, SM can be overcome but left untreated, it can lead to long-term problems. It is thought to be caused by a complex interaction between various vulnerabilities such as genetics, temperament, environment and neurodevelopmental factors. Treatment methods are variable and can include non-medication-based therapies (eg behavioural therapy) or pharmacotherapy. This paper specifically addresses the child with SM. Few professionals are trained in dealing with SM and many have little knowledge of the condition. SM awareness for parents and professionals along with appropriate information and intervention techniques are vital. For children with SM, dental visits can prove challenging. Each child is unique in how they present with their difficulties. A child attending the dentist for a dental problem or a routine examination may not yet be diagnosed with SM, and so knowledge of the condition and what appropriate services are available is important. The dental team should understand the possible modes of therapy that the child is receiving and work with these principles during dental appointments. Simple strategies such as asking the parent how best to communicate with the child, understanding what makes the child feel at ease and whether the child has any other phobias or anxieties can help.

Abstract:

Selective Mutism (SM) is a rare but potentially debilitating disorder characterized by a lack of speech in certain settings where speaking is expected. This study examined the effectiveness of a shortened version (12 sessions over 18 weeks) of Integrated Behavior Therapy for Selective Mutism (IBTSM; Bergman, 2013) in increasing speech and relieving anxiety for two four-year-old males with SM via a replicated single-case design. Treatment effectiveness, integrity, and acceptability were measured at baseline, throughout treatment, and at a three-month follow-up. Treatment integrity was excellent for both cases. SM severity ratings decreased from baseline to end-of-treatment, and again at follow-up, for each case. Verbal communication increased at end-of-treatment and follow-up, and significant decreases in social anxiety were seen across both cases by the three-month follow-up. Parents rated the shortened IBTSM as highly acceptable, effective, and efficient. Future studies should explore the effectiveness of varying lengths of IBTSM.

Abstract:

Abstract Selective mutism (SM) is a developmental disorder characterized by a child’s inability to speak in certain contexts and/or in the presence of unfamiliar interlocutors. This work proposes a critical discussion of the most recent studies on SM, with respect to clinical and diagnostic features, as well as the etiology and treatment of this disorder. At present, all research work supports the hypothesis that SM is a complex anxiety disorder with multifactorial etiology (interaction among biological and environmental causes). The latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) places SM mutism among “Anxiety Disorders”, and no longer among “Other Childhood, Infant and Adolescent Disorders” (as in DSM-IV). Other important aspects relate to cognitive biases and emotional states at the base of SM, which partly explain the disorder’s persistence and represent an important objective of intervention work. No data in the literature point to a total remission of SM, but good results are achieved with cognitive behavior intervention and multimodal therapy (MMT) involving a variety of child interaction contexts.

Abstract:

This research assessed the feasibility of Social Communication Anxiety Treatment (S-CAT) developed by Elisa Shipon-Blum, a brief multimodal approach, to increase social communication in 40 children aged 5–12 years with selective mutism (SM). SM is a disorder in which children consistently fail to speak in specific situations although they have the ability to do so. Key features of this approach are the SM-Social Communication Comfort Scale (SCCS), transfer of control (ToC), a nonchalant therapeutic style, and cognitive-behavioral strategies over a brief time frame. Following 9 weeks of treatment, children showed significant gains in speaking frequency on all 17 items from the Selective Mutism Questionnaire (SMQ), a standardized measure of SM severity. Children also showed decreased levels of anxiety and withdrawal as reported by parents on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). SM initial symptom severity and family therapy compliance, but not duration of SM, contributed to treatment outcomes.
