Save 15% with the School Refusal Toolkit Bundle — combining this guide with School Can’t Cards to support a deeper understanding of school attendance difficulties and re-engagement.
A practical, neuroaffirming school refusal support guide for schools navigating School Can’t (school refusal / EBSA) without blame, without ultimatums, and without pretending it’s as simple as just showing up.
This guide helps school staff understand what is actually driving a student’s school refusal or attendance challenges, whether it’s anxiety, sensory overwhelm, demand avoidance, or neurodivergent burnout — and provides real, usable strategies to support re-engagement at a pace that works for the young person.
Inside, you’ll find practical classroom adjustments, reintegration planning tools, and a framework for understanding the difference between “won’t” and “can’t” in school attendance. Designed to work alongside our best-selling School Can’t Cards for a whole-school, neuroaffirming approach to school refusal support.
Built by clinical psychologists. Designed for real classrooms.
