Make sure she speaks well at home and wid her nearby frnz and relatives. if this s d situation there are high chances of SM. this mostly does not improve with age. Change of school can help. or a better therapy is like frst you ask questions to your child. she ll answer. slowly introduce some other person relative etc and pursue questions till she answers. this may help..👍
