Selective Mutism child are usually misunderstanded by popular as "shy" which should be different. They are "frozen" (e.g.mute, blank face, avoid eye contact and even shut down all communication channel) in certain social settings, usually school is one of those. They only talk to immediate family members. And they are very talkative and confident at home. This can be caused by inhertance or some sudden change.
3 years old should be a good time to step in the problem. As time goes by, this can becomes depression and medication may be required to fix it. You can find this information from the web and some documentary from youtube. I remember there is a web site like "selectivemultism.org" where you could learn more.
How long do you need to wait to have treatment? Do your child scare to speak to child or adult or men? I would suggest you to bring your child to psychologist to evaluate asap. What you can do is to let your child meet other children as much as possible and the most important, NEVER FORCE HIM TO SPEAK. Encourgement is important.and let him know there is no harm if he talk, but everybody is happy to hear from him. Bring him to some EQ groups where instructors understand children and are able to motivate them positively.
Bring him to playgoroups to meet different people. Bring him to the interest class which he enjoys in order to build up his confidence. what to do now all depends on the findings of the psychologist on what he scared.
