When They Don't Show Up: Dealing with School Avoidance
Tuesday, October 19, 2021
9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
(Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.)
There has been a steady increase in the number of students who are refusing to attend school. Chronic absenteeism and frequent tardies are significant problems that not only plague schools, but families as well. This training will help provide information on how to identify the reason(s) behind the student’s school refusal (whether in person or while engaged in remote learning), and outline evidence-based practice interventions to help students return to class. Case examples will be offered to illustrate the various methods and intervention strategies. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their own case examples.
Participants will:
Learn how to identify reason(s) behind a student’s school avoidance
Learn evidence-based strategies to help students return to class
Learn how to assemble an appropriate team to implement and monitor the transition plan
Target audience: School Psychologists, Mental Health Professionals, Administrators, Teachers
Presenter: Kristin N. Moore, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist
(In partnership w/ the Diagnostic Center North; held jointly with SE SELPA)
