Created for SENDCos, SLTs, EWOs, Wellbeing Mentors, teachers and whole-school staff, our three hour training programme has been developed to enhance awareness of the challenges neurodivergent pupils and students experience within school and the factors that contribute to emotionally-based school avoidance (EBSA). Written to include contributions from parents and professionals, this interactive session identifies potential barriers to attendance, offers practical tools and strategies to break the EBSA cycle and explores simple but effective adjustments to help students reintegrate and access their education.
