Episode 23 - When School Is All Too Much, Understanding EBSA
from Autism Unpacked Hosted by Options Autism
Send us Fan Mail When your child is struggling to attend school, it can be difficult to understand what’s behind their distress, how best to support them, or where to turn for help. In this episode of Autism Unpacked, we explore Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), and how it can affect children and young people, including those with additional needs. We look at the signs parents and carers may notice, why school can be difficult and the challenges families can face when attendance becomes difficult. We're joined by Educational and Child Psychologist Dr Tina Rae and Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Director of Behaviour Culture, Dr. Leanne Johnson to explore some of the factors that may be driving a child’s anxiety or difficulties with school. Together we share practical advice and strategies for reducing anxiety, understanding your child's individual needs, advocating for appropriate support, and working constructively with schools. Whether your child is beginning to show signs of school anxiety, is struggling with attendance, or is currently unable to attend school, this episode offers expert insight and practical guidance to help parents and carers understand what may be happening and what they can do next.
