SM may affect a child’s ability to talk with specific members of the immediate family at home as well as teachers or peers at school or in other social situations. Children respond or make their needs known by nodding their heads, pointing or by remaining expressionless or motionless until someone correctly guesses what they want. SM may affect a child’s educational performance but progress at school is not impeded in those situations where speaking is not required.
