School can't resources for parents/carers and teachers

‘School can’t’ occurs when a child is so overwhelmed and stressed by the demands of school that they find it difficult, or sometimes impossible, to attend. Autistic children and young people who experience school can’t often experience extreme stress and/or anxiety about school. This may mean they:

• Miss days of school,
• Are frequently late,
• Or leave school early.

About Amaze’s school can’t resources

Funded by the Victorian Department of Education, Amaze has created a video and two written resources on the topic of school can’t. These resources provide valuable insights into understanding and identifying the early signs of school can’t, as well as how to implement strategies.  These resources would be useful for parents, carers and teachers of Autistic children/students.
