Selective mutism typically involves a child speaking in certain settings but not others, while mutism involves a complete lack of speech in all situations. Observing whether the child speaks in some situations but not others can help differentiate between the two. Additionally, consulting with a healthcare professional or speech therapist can provide a more accurate diagnosis.
Mute individuals can learn to communicate through sign language, written communication, or alternative methods like text-to-speech devices. Speech therapy and alternative communication strategies can help them develop ways to express themselves effectively. Communication methods vary depending on individual preferences and needs.

Rated "G" by the Author.
On water glides with the grace of a operatic song
SWANS
Grace and beauty flows from these wondrous birds
Gilding across water as if in different worlds
Rightly wary but not afraid of the human form
Survived amongst us for hundreds of years
There are three main species in the UK
Long may they grace our waterways
Bewick's Swan (Cygnus columbianus)
A large bird but the smallest of the three
Yearly flights from Siberia before the big freeze
On arrival here soon winter it will be
Lifespan could be 16 years if let be
Their call to all is soft and mellow
Other name Tundra or Whistling swan others know
Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus)
This is our winter visitor from Iceland
A larger swan with a long thin neck usually held very erect
Stands on black legs with a black and yellow bill
On water glides with the grace of a operatic song
11 year lifespan is all the Whooper can expect
A loud 'Whoop' 'Whoop' call as you would expect
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) A Royal Bird
This is the largest of them all
With a S shaped neck that looks so tall
At the end a black and orange bill
Tops of this magnificent birds profile
This beauty graces our waterways all year round
A 24 year lifespan giving Mute some ground
UK now there are some 30, 000 around
As name suggests Mute is mainly quiet
But make angry this swan hisses out
This is my favourite of them all
Cygnus olor be here for evermore
