This website shares a lot of information on Selective Mutism such as causes, treatment, symptoms and frequently asked questions about it.

I used Google Scholar and got 10200 hits. Google had 33100. I felt that using Google Scholar was not a good option to use when I was searching about information on my topic. It focused more on scholarly literature and research and it was not really relevant to what I was looking for even though it had less hits and would have probably narrowed down the wide selection.
