J struggled with selective mutism and rarely spoke in class. Upon beginning therapy in P5, J's verbal participation remained minimal or absent during lessons, making it unpredictable when she would communicate. However, there was a breakthrough one day during an activity focusing on character description, where J surprised by speaking extensively about her siblings and friends. Despite this, she reverted to silence after the lesson, making it challenging to anticipate her responses. Nonetheless, J's mother provided regular updates on her progress. In addition, the transition to online lessons during the pandemic presented additional difficulties. Despite initial setbacks, J's gradual progress eventually paid off. By the time she reached Sec 3, J had become significantly more vocal.
