What is a selective mutism test?

There is no single “test” for selective mutism. Instead, diagnosis is based on clinical assessment, observation, and parent/teacher reports. Some clinicians may use:

• Structured interviews with parents
• Behavioural rating scales (e.g., anxiety or mutism scales)
• Classroom observations
• Speech and language assessments.

These tools help identify patterns and rule out other speech or developmental conditions. Contact us now
