“I don’t want to go to school!” Who hasn’t heard that phrase before? While we may chuckle remembering the
lengths we might have taken to avoid school, there are many children who truly struggle with going to school.
School refusal behavior is a real issue that is stressful for children, their families, and even school personnel. School
refusal is often associated with co-morbid disorders such as anxiety or depression. Not addressing these problems
carefully could result in significant effects on children’s social, emotional, and educational development.
This 1-day seminar examines the complexity of school refusal behavior and explores solutions to help children
successfully return to school. Learn to perform functional analysis to determine the motivation and particular
reinforcement systems that support school refusal behavior. Examine psychological disorders that may be causing/
co-morbid with school refusal including separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic attacks, major
depression, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation disorder, ADHD, and Oppositional
Defiant Disorder. Review the latest evidence-based treatments with a focus on tailoring standard approaches to
specific situations. Lastly, participants engage in several case studies and develop intervention plans for cases of
school refusal.
