Having trouble getting to the Clinic? I have started a Yahoo Club on selective mutism. Check it out here! |
Keep Writing! I have recieved many helpful suggestions and would like to thank all the parents for their enthusiasm. Please keep writing! This website is maintained by Dr Daniel Fung, a child psychiatrist from Singapore. Find out more about him by clicking here. |
The Selective Mutism Support Group meets monthly! A small group of parents in Canada who have children with selective mutism have got together and started this support/self help group. We meet every last Tuesday of the month. Our next meeting is at 6-8 pm, 29 May 2001 and it will be at room 4109, Elm Wing, the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Please email Lin Gorenkoff to get in touch with us! Go to the SMG Link for more information. |
I have started by providing some basic material on what Selective Mutism is. Go to the READ section if you have no idea what it is all about. For more in depth understanding, the STUDY section provides books both fictional and non fictional, slides as well as a bibliographic reference. The RESEARCH section is about ongoing work at HSC and CGC and how you can be involved. A LINK page was created for some of the more useful links on the web. I have included a CONTACT page for people keen to email professionals who are experts in the field. Finally you can CONNECT and post questions and make comments on our message board. Feel free to email me at daniel_fung@medscape.com |
Selective Mutism is an uncommon problem in which children who are able to speak in some situations (like at home) become mute in other situations (like in school). These children are not defiant or oppositional, they need help, not punishment. This is a page devoted to helping parents find resources and help for their children who are selectively mute. The resources presented are intended as part of a treatment programme being developed at the Hospital for Sick Children (HSC), Toronto and the Child Guidance Clinic (CGC), Singapore. As such its use has been catered for families in Toronto and Singapore. |
