Background:

  • Selective mutism is a rare and challenging disorder impacting children's communication.
  • Existing treatments for selective mutism have limited success rates.
  • Audio feedforward presents a novel therapeutic approach.

Observation:

  • The study observed three children diagnosed with selective mutism.
  • The intervention was implemented in diverse settings, including schools and community environments.
  • Children's engagement and willingness to create audiotapes were monitored.

Findings:

  • Audio feedforward intervention was successfully utilized with three children experiencing selective mutism.
  • The intervention demonstrated effectiveness in both school and community settings.
