>is being mute considered a speech impairment as well? Like is that something you would treat or is it seperate?We've learned very little about the mute.

Instead, there's a form of communication known as AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) which uses methods such as pictograms, interactive applications, etc to communicate. Pic related is an example of a communication program for people who are nonverbal or have severely limited verbality, often caused by low-functioning autism.
