*THE* definitive guide for #schoolrefusal. Great for training students and staff, great for treatment. The FBA/case formulation is the best tool for matching the treatment to the children's (& parents'!) needs.

If you are a child psychologist, please stop sending kids for “ADHD testing.”
That’s not a thing.
Parent and teacher report scales and a clinical interview is almost always what you need.
Any more is mostly useless and coincidentally makes someone else a bunch of money.
