Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to:
- Differentiate between school refusal and truancy in adolescents through an understanding of a functional model of student non-attendance.
- Identify students at-risk and assess the individual factors contributing to school non-attendance using evidence informed measures.
- Provide appropriate treatment interventions that will support an adolescent’s attendance in school from a biopsychosocial perspective.
