Summary Statement of Information
Although student's academic ability is not in question, the lack of effort in demonstrating it is. The refusal to do school work appears to be a
combination of a lack of confidence, anxiety, avoidance and defiance. Potential interventions include: Teaching him Calming/Relaxation
strategies such as deep breathing; positive self-talk and self-analysis. Another possible intervention could include the "all-aboard" check in-
check out program. Short-term intervention with the Behavior Consultant is also a possibility.
