Kommunikationsstörung Mutismus

Examination paper from 2005 in the field of education - special education, special needs education, grade: 2.0, Justus Liebig University Giessen (Institute for Special Education), 40 sources in the bibliography, language: German, abstract: Mutism is still only known to a few people. Again and again people with mutism are described as stubborn and stubborn. Their silence is interpreted as refusal to work. And this not only by laymen, but also by doctors, psychologists and pedagogues from whom parents expect help. At kindergarten age, the parents are usually mediated: "It'll blow over". This can have serious consequences. The longer a person remains silent, the more this silence manifests itself. Especially in school, mutism becomes a problem. Here, oral participation in the classroom and integration into the classroom becomes a problem.
