Definitely would suggest a re-assessment. Selective Mutism has very distinct patterns and behavior does not coincide much, especially if you are calling it "situational" . Even tho, she is selecting (selective) to not talk (mutism), key markers are absent, which most likely means she is receiving attention and rewarding actions for applying this strategy which perpetuates the voluntary behavior.
