Selective mutism and OT

I am studying OT and my daughter was diagnosed with SM 2 years ago (she will be 6yo in Feb). She was referred to SALT and OT was never mentioned during the intervention. And thats my question: why OT is not supporting kids with SM. OT might work with someone who lives with SM but thats not the reason for referral.

I am trying to find some literature around OT and SM but I am struggling. Any idea where to find it?

Thank you!

Thank you for your opinion! I completely agree, not many people know what OT is actually doing- even other professionals (which is somehow sad!).

Thank you for the article.

I would like an ot to work with my daughter...
