How does selective mutism affect learning?

Selective mutism can significantly impact a child’s learning and participation at school. Children may struggle to:

• Answer questions or participate in classroom discussions
• Interact with peers, limiting social learning opportunities
• Complete assessments or oral tasks
• Build confidence and independence in group settings.
  
  Without intervention, this can affect academic progress and social development. Teachers, parents, and therapists working together under NDIS supports can help ensure learning continues despite communication challenges. Contact us now.
