Ah, the beautiful summer weather is finally upon us.\\xa0 And what better time to talk about how hard it is for some students to attend school.\\xa0 Is it bad teaching? Permissive parents? School anxiety? How the heck are we supposed to find out the function of school refusal behavior? Fortunately, Dr. Christopher Kearney and colleagues have been studying the assessment and treatment of school refusal behavior since the early 90\'s.\\xa0 And your pals here at ABA Inside Track are here to disseminate their research with our brand of deep discussion and tangents about Jackie\'s history of poor attendance due to Sailor Moon.
