School Avoidance Alliance

FOR CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY TEAMS

School Avoidance Frameworks for Clinical and Community Teams

  • Equip your practice or agency with the same framework schools use.
  • Learn how school attendance systems actually work, so you can collaborate with district staff, SST and IEP teams, and families.
  • Access implementation guides, communication tools and family resources.

WHY THIS MATTERS

You often see school avoidance before the school does

Clinicians and community teams are often the first to hear that a student cannot get through the school door. But the school, the family and the outside provider are rarely working from the same approach. The School Avoidance Alliance MTSS Framework gives your team the same shared language and steps that schools use, so you can support the student and work alongside the school instead of around it.
