This presentation will focus on comprehensive evidence-based interventions for youth experiencing school avoidance. Specifically, we will discuss the importance of diagnostic, dimensional, and functional assessment, the critical role of parent education, training, and support, and the benefits of group therapy with other school avoidant youth. In addition, we will address how to identify the appropriate target for exposure therapy, and how to partner with the school-based professionals to design the return to learn process. Lastly, we find that approximately 50% of school avoidant youth present with unidentified issues related to neurodiversity, especially autism and processing speed disorders. We will address the critical differences in the interventions for these youth.
