Selective Mutism

Dr Chetna Kang and Louisa Peacock focus on disability and mental health.

Imagine going through life talking to nobody but your immediate family. People may be talking around you, but anxiety drives you to silence.

That's the reality for people with Selective Mutism.

This week we'll meet a woman from St Albans who had to give up her job because her son's mutism prevented him being at school.

And the grandmother from Milton Keynes who says her grandson's mutism is often mistaken for bad behaviour.
