Assessment and Treatment of a Hispanic Youth With Selective Mutism

Jennifer Vecchio

Christopher A. Kearney

University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Selective mutism can be a potentially debilitating mental disorder that affects about 1% of youth. Unfortunately, this population remains under-researched, and very little information is available regarding the treatment of diverse youth with selective mutism. This article reports on the successful treatment of a 10-year-old Hispanic female with selective mutism. Treatment was largely behavioral in nature and consisted of exposure-based practices and contingency management.

Key Words: selective mutism • shyness • children • exposure-based treatment
