Short description:
Helping Families of Youth with School Attendance Problems consists of 7 chapters that guide the reader through the assessment, consultation, and intervention processes for various cases of school attendance problems. Initial material provides an overview and focuses on a rapid assessment and consultation process. The heart of the book is centered on extensive and detailed recommendations to guide clinicians and school officials through an efficient intervention process to reduce a child's school absenteeism and related behavior problems.
MoreLong description:
School attendance problems, even in mild forms, are a significant risk factor for social, behavioral, and academic problems in childhood and adolescence. These cases tend to be urgent and complex in nature, with problems that manifest both at home and at school. As such, mental health and school-based professionals need practical and efficient strategies to resolve school attendance problems.
Helping Families of Youth with School Attendance Problems is a real-world guide to addressing school attendance problems at different levels of severity and complexity. The book offers specific procedures for many types of cases to address these problems in a relatively short period of time, and within the constraints of most private practice and school settings. The text also considers developmental level, with distinct coverage of elementary school children as well as adolescents in middle school and in high school. The book consists of seven empirically-supported chapters that guide readers through assessment, consultation, and intervention processes. Given the limited timeframe frequently faced by mental health and school-based professionals, these processes are often blended. Beginning with an overview of school attendance problems, the heart of the book offers core intervention components as well as other procedures to enhance the effectiveness of these components. These components cover key aspects of anxiety and contingency management, school reintegration, and school engagement as well as suggestions for many specific scenarios. The final chapter focuses on chronic and severe school attendance problems and other highly challenging scenarios common to these young people. Helping Families of Youth with School Attendance Problems is a must-have resource for mental health and school-based professionals alike, as well as for others who regularly engage with this population.
While many of us may take school attendance problems for granted, any affected parent or school-based professional knows how overwhelming and perplexing problematic attendance can be. If left untreated, school attendance problems can have a debilitating impact across the lifespan. The world's leading authority on school refusal behavior has done it again! Christopher Kearney has written an eminently practical guide that addresses how to effectively manage a wide range of acute and chronic school attendance problems. This book will be an indispensable resource for parents, school-based professionals, child and family therapists, and graduate students.
