Wsparcie edukacyjne i specjalistyczne dla dzieci/uczniów z mutyzmem wybiórczym z perspektywy ich rodziców (na podstawie badań własnych)
Educational and specialised support for children / students with selective mutism from the perspective of their parents

Summary/Abstract: Selective mutism (SM) is a disorder consisting of the lack or limitation of verbal communication while maintaining speech understanding and the ability of the child to communicate with selected persons. It is usually manifested as a child’s fluent contact with people whom they trust and the lack of verbal communication in a situation or place that is uncertain for a child. This is the reason why SM most often affects students of pre-schools and primary schools. The aim of the article is to discuss the specificity of the disorder and the educational and specialised support offered to children/pupils with selective mutism. As the part of the work, tests were conducted to verify the intensity/extent to which the symptoms characteristic of SM occur. The conducted research allowed us to confirm the occurrence of symptoms representative of selective mutism.
