 Exploring Language And Learning In Selective Mutism
Posted By Dr Fung On 9/16/2003 10:14:32 PM In Research
This is an exploratory work on trying to understand selective mutism in the context of language and learning in these children. Most of the recent studies on selective mutism focused on understanding anxiety as the basis for the selective mutism. Yet many studies have shown that up to 50% of selectively mute children have a speech related problem. The difficulty in studying this area for selectively mute children is the difficulty in testing these children. We have devised an assessment protocol that assesses these children using non verbal techniques in unfamiliar situations and verbal testing in a familiar situation (applied by the parents). The team consists of Dr Katharina Manassis, Dr Rosemary Tannock, Dr Leon Sloman and Dr Daniel Fung. Some information for parents is found here.
The full protocol is available here (please contact Dr Daniel Fung for the password). Preliminary findings are found here.
