Selective mutism or just shy?
I have a doubt if my son is just shy or has selective mutism problem. He is talkative at home but doesn't talk at all at pre-school and adults and kids whom he meets not so frequently.

Talk to your son about why he doesn't talk at school. May be someone is troubling him at school or he's afraid of something or someone.
A more detailed assessment needs to be done. Please see a Psychiatrist
