Expired Touchpoint Series – Timely Challenge – Difficulty with Children Returning to School and Childcare!

Topic:

School avoidance is an extremely difficult experience that is increasingly impacting children, teenagers, their families, and school staff members, particularly since COVID-19. During this Touchpoints we will examine the scope of school avoidance, review what the research tells us about this topic, and discuss the many aspects of its management and/or treatment, with a focus on caregivers’ important roles in successfully helping students return to school and/or complete their coursework.

Dr. Erin Pougnet is a registered psychologist who completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta and her graduate degrees at Concordia University in Montreal. She has experience working as a psychologist within various Alberta Health Services clinics, with particular expertise in assessing and diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other neurodevelopmental disorders, as well treating children and adolescents with moderate-to-severe mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, emotional dysregulation, and school refusal.
