Overcoming School Avoidance

The issue of school avoidance has been growing rapidly since the covid-19 pandemic, and many parents are not prepared when they begin seeing signs of this behavior in their children. Their child's behavior may seem defiant or oppositional, and often parents don't get the support they need from the school system to address the factors that may deter a child from school attendance. In this first-of-its-kind book, Jayne Demsky, the founder of the School Avoidance Alliance, provides comprehensive guidance on how parents can navigate the school system and truancy laws, work with school administrators, and address the issue at home.
