This workshop aims to support parents and carers of school-age children and young people whose experience of anxious thoughts and feelings is leading to school avoidance. These difficulties are often referred to as Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA).
Objectives of the course:
This workshop will focus on supporting parents and carers of children and young people of school-age living in Milton Keynes:
learn more about what can contribute to a child or young person experiencing high levels of worry and anxiety about attending school and how this can lead to school avoidance
learn about strategies which can support a return to school
learn about current Milton Keynes Council guidance and local services for further support
explore the importance of self-care when supporting a child or young person experiencing EBSA
Starting or moving school can sometimes seem a daunting step if you child has SEND, or you have concerns about their development.
The Local Offer has lots of information and resources for you to use with your child as well as a helpful parent guide which offers practical ideas for supporting transition.
If you think your child needs extra support in school, we recommend you speak to the school SENCO (special educational needs and disabilities coordinator). The SENCo will consider what reasonable adjustments will be put in place to support your child or young person.
Some children may have a SEN Support Plan, that identifies the provision through the Graduated Approach that the child or young person needs. The receiving school, will use the SEN Support plan to inform the child's transition plan and their support.
Some children/young people with more complex needs may have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
I think my child has Autism, does my child need a diagnosis to access support?
No, the diagnosis is not needed to access additional support, all schools apply the Graduated Approach to identify and meet the needs of children and young people. Additional support and reasonable adjustments will be put in place if this would best meet your child's needs.
