Unfortunately school refusal is up by 40% since Covid. Consequently many children are now being home schooled. There can be a number of reasons for school refusal. In my experience ASD, OCD, ADHD etc can cause higher anxiety levels in school. These anxieties can range from sensory issues to bullying and overwhelm, especially in ADHD with auditory processing disorders. I see many children who are being let down by the school system and not diagnosed or helped with auditory processing. This lies with the lack of education in this area by teachers etc. Children may be unable to explain why they are getting behind and not keep up in class. This unfortunately can lead to behaviour problems and giving up and feeling overwhelmed.
Hypnotherapy can assist with this problem by lowering anxiety levels and increasing confidence in the classroom. It also reduces irritation from any sensory processing or auditory processing problems.
