CBT for school refusal

Dr. Jonathan Dalton, Director of the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change in Rockville, MD, explains why kids avoid school and what can be done to help them. He says: "We don't treat anxiety; we treat avoidance."

Dr. Dalton, im a licensed associate counselor from NJ working the school system as outpatient therapist, and this video was awesome. Thanks for your time and super helpful info.

Another stupid AH who thinks he knows something about kids. Glad I walked out of that screwed up system.

Go get a real job and stop trying to convert kids to the state brainwashing.

You said rapid reintegration I think. I was wondering though how rapid? My kid is struggling and I am trying to figure out the right approach without exacerbating her anxiety and low self esteem. She has a therapist, although, I am not entirely sure what they have been working on. I have her scheduled with a psychiatrist for this Monday and I am meeting with someone at the school on Wednesday about a possible 504 plan. She does well in school when she is there. She is super smart and would like to travel the world one day but she is struggling at the moment.
