SMIRA (Selective Mutism Information & Research Association)

SMIRA is a Parent Support Group, based in Leicester, UK, and offers information and advice to families with Selectively Mute children.  It distributes regular newsletters to Full Members, holds National Parents Meetings in Leicester on an annual basis and aims to put families in touch with those in a similar position to themselves where possible. SMIRA also offers information and advice to health & education professionals working with Selectively Mute children.

Parent Membership

This is available for all parents of SM children up to the age of 18 and entitles them to receive our Newsletter, issued 3 times a year, and to attend our National Parents' Meeting, held annually in Leicester, UK, as well as any other members-only activities which occur from time to time. Parent membership is free, although it is hoped that parents will make regular donations according to their means. Standing order forms and Gift Aid forms are available in the 'Downloads' section of the website.

Although SMIRA does not have the resources to support anyone over the age of 18, there is provision for them on the website forum and they (or their parents) are welcome to join as Friends of SMIRA (see below).

Professional Membership

This is available to anyone involved in the Health or Education professions who have an interest in selective mutism. There is a small fee payable for membership and benefits are as for Parent members.  Honorary Professional Membership is granted at the discretion of the Committee to those who assist SMIRA on a regular basis.
