Description

After more than a year of hybrid and remote learning, students have experienced a new normal of staying home. School professionals are concerned that a wave of school refusal will hit us this fall. How can we prepare?

In this episode, Chris talks about strategies for school refusal intervention with Dr. Paul Barbato, Director of Special Services in Dumont, NJ Public Schools. Dr. Barbato is also an Adjunct Professor at three NJ colleges and holds leadership positions in several key NJ educational organizations.

Highlights include:

  • How to identify students at risk before the school refusal behavior becomes entrenched
  • Who should be included on a multidisciplinary team to address school refusal
  • Ideas for a three-tier intervention plan: school-level, targeted groups, and individual supports
  • How to get started and where to focus your efforts first
