You may find the following free-to-download booklet by Maggie Johnson and Alison Wintgens very useful. It provides a succinct explanation of Selective Mutism and guidance on where to go next. Not only is it useful for reading for adults and teenagers with SM themselves, we have found this very useful to provide to schools and colleges as well who have not encountered SM before.
