Selective Mutism is an anxiety-based condition where a child is able to speak in certain settings but remains silent in others, such as at school or in social situations. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, we provide specialized support for children with selective mutism through a combination of speech therapy, behavioral strategies, and family guidance. Our team creates a safe and gradual communication plan to help each child build confidence and reduce anxiety around speaking. Early intervention is key, and we work closely with parents and educators to support consistent progress across environments. With the right support, children can overcome communication barriers and thrive.
