Case Study of the Assessment and Treatment of a Youth With Multifunction School Refusal Behavior

Christopher A. Kearney

Universityof Nevada, Las Vegas

School refusal behavior is a common problem among children and adolescents and can lead to serious short- and long-term consequences if not addressed. Although recent treatment outcome studies have targeted youth who refuse to go to school for one specific reason (e.g., anxiety, attention), very little information is available on youth who refuse school for two reasons, and no information is available on youth who refuse school for three reasons. This article reports on the successful treatment of a 12-year-old boy who received prescriptive treatment for multifunction school refusal behavior. The treatment was assigned in accordance with a set assessment strategy designed to identify the primary reasons why a particular child refuses to attend school.

Key Words: school refusal behavior • assessment • treatment
