Now her experiences and expertise are available in this easy-to-read practical book. Overcoming School Refusal helps readers understand this complex issue by explaining exactly what school refusal is and provides them with a range of strategies they can use to assist children in returning to school. Areas covered include: . types of school refusers . why children refuse to go to school . symptoms . short term and long term consequences . accurate assessment . treatment options . what parents can do . what schools can do . dealing with anxious high achievers . how to help children on the autism spectrum with school refusal
