Popis: Three children aged 8 with selective mutism were treated with an intervention package that consisted of video self-modeling, stimulus fading, and reinforcement behavioral techniques for up to 8 weeks. Parents, teachers, and the researcher conducted a comprehensive assessment of participants’ verbal behavior across multiple settings and throughout baseline, intervention, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up phases of the study. Findings indicated participants’ verbal communicative behavior increased significantly during post-intervention, and their progress was maintained at 1-month follow-up.
