[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom of a child with selective mutism, which is a little different in that my child freezes up around people rather than getting visibly upset. I have no expertise to say whether this is something that will get better on its own, but I think it is worth getting him evaluated (e.g Infants and Toddlers or Child Find in Maryland, not sure what the equivalents are elsewhere). They should assess social skills and whether those skills are present in all settings. The assessment/screening will be free and they may offer services to support. If nothing else it will give you more information. Moving forward you may find he needs private services but I think having the baseline assessment is a good place to start.[/quote]
