If she is still attending public school from K-12, either you or her parents can refer her to the school counselor or school psychologist. You should write down a description of her behaviors that concern you just like you did here at SW. For schools to regard this as a genuine problem they have to see that her behaviors are consistent over a period time and that they have resulted in effecting some area of development such as in academics or ability to form social relationships. Many public and private schools have "communication social groups" where the shy and anxious meet to practice skills that will help them overcome their fears and get back into the swim of the school social network.

Good luck to you! Your cousin is blessed to have such a caring relative.
