Description

<p>The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether a regular classroom teacher's support could assist a second-grade boy with selective mutism who was enrolled in a regular class at a public elementary school to speak in more places and with more people. At the start of the school year in April, the teacher first created a safe environment at the school that might make the boy feel more positive about speaking. Then, at the school, at the boy's home, and at a medical institution, the teacher provided speech support 22 times from June to February of the following year, intending to help the boy become able to speak at school. During the speech support at school, the boy practiced speech in small steps using multiplication table challenge cards, speech challenge cards, and question cards that had been prepared by the teacher. In April, the boy did not speak at all at school, but by February of the following year, he spoke in class in situations in which speech was required, such as exchanging opinions or making a presentation, when the teacher was nearby. These results suggest that it is possible for a regular classroom teacher to assist a child with selective mutism to speak in more situations and with more people.</p>
