About: Emotion-Based School Avoidance: Understanding and Supporting Your Child
School avoidance driven by emotional challenges can be a significant hurdle for children and their families. This presentation offers an insightful exploration into the causes behind emotion-based school avoidance, helping parents uncover the underlying factors contributing to their child’s distress.
We will examine the key signs to look out for, empowering parents to identify early indicators and respond effectively. The session will also provide practical, supportive strategies to help children navigate their school-related anxieties, rebuild their confidence, and find a path back to learning in a way that respects their individual needs.
Join us for this empowering talk designed to equip you with the tools and understanding needed to support your child on their journey toward emotional well-being and educational success.
About Laura Crowley:
I am a Mother of two children (one neurodivergent child and one neurotypical child), Author, Lecturer and Autism Consultant, with over 24 years’ experience working with young people in a variety of specialist settings. I was identified as autistic at the age of 40 and my lifelong struggle navigating social scenarios, and Generalised and Social Anxiety prompted me to create the Social Connect Series of resources and Training opportunities. My experience designing and delivering programmes for tweens and teens on the Autistic Spectrum adds a practical user centred focus to my resources and training.
As a parent and educator, I understand the need for easy to follow resources, which are accessible to all regardless of training, and so I have placed heavy emphasis on the accessibility of my training and resources for parents and teachers alike.
My primary goal is to design practical supports, positive resources and effective training opportunities for children, parents and professionals. I am passionate about inspiring and empowering young people to overcome their barriers and allow them to connect to their peers and the wider community.
I believe that children’s mental health is as important as their physical health and the impact of providing a positive foundation for dealing with difficult emotions, will be felt throughout life.
