The School Refusal Response Toolkit

When your child won’t (or can’t) go to school, this is your next move.

School refusal isn’t defiance it’s data. Data that something in the system isn’t working, and your child is carrying the cost.

This toolkit arms you with:
✅ Scripts & Letters to stop schools from brushing you off and force a real response
✅ Root Cause Guide so you can pinpoint what’s really going on (sensory, anxiety, EF overload, trauma, accommodations gap, etc.)
✅ Parent Action Plans what to do while you wait for school to act, how to track patterns, and how to regulate home stress
✅ Accommodations Menu what you can ask for (shortened day, mental health supports, staff changes, and more)
✅ Parent Reminders because you’re not crazy, you’re not making excuses, and your child is asking for help the only way they know how

You’ll walk away with clear, legally-informed steps, printable templates, and language that shifts the dynamic from “just get them in the door” to “the school has to respond.”

This isn’t fluff. It’s leverage.

⚡ If your mornings feel like a war zone, this toolkit will be the first calm breath you’ve taken in months.
