School Attendance: How to Support Students Returning to In-Person Learning
Returning to in-person learning may be difficult for some students.  This workshop will provide attendees with information on strategies and supports to address school refusal behavior in light of school re-opening.  While school refusal has occurred in the past, it has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and learning from home.
