A member asked:
Can i homeschool my 5 year old daughter who has selective mutism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why not?: I do not see any reason why that would be harmful. She will certainly talk. I am unaware of any advantage to a large classroom for a selectively mute person as they talk when they choose. She will benefit form therapy to help her overcome it with time, but homeschool might be the perfect setting for her.
