This card sort activity, based on the School Refusal Assessment Scale developed by Kearney (2002), has been amended from a resource devised by Sheffield EPS as a tool to support staff to develop a greater understanding of a young person’s school avoidance. The 24 statements are colour-coded by the function of behaviour identified by Kearney and Silverman (1990). By asking a child or young person to sort the statements or by talking about each one, supporting adults may find that using the cards can encourage an understanding of the function of the school avoidance behaviour. Depending on the needs of the child or young person please explore the resource with appropriate support. . (Calmer Life Program). Presented by: Melissa K Rollins, M.S., CCATP. What is Anxiety?.
