Our School Can’t Cards provide a safe and practical way to explore the challenges each child is facing.
To effectively support a child in reengaging with their education, it’s important to understand the individual factors influencing their experience.
School Can’t is a term used to describe children unable to attend school due to emotional, psychological or neurodevelopmental differences, rather than simply refusing to.
As clinicians, we have a valuable opportunity to work collaboratively with the child, their family, and the school.
How School Can’t Cards help:
Build rapport with young people through a non-confrontational tool.
Provide a structured framework for open-ended conversations.
Allow the young person time to process information and respond in their own time.
Reduce memory and cognitive load by offering visual prompts.
Lower anxiety by removing pressure from verbal-only communication.
Open up conversations with caregivers and schools about underlying support needs.
Promote self-understanding and emotional expression in young people.
Guide personalised interventions that go beyond surface-level behaviours.

We initially designed them to be used with children who are struggling to attend school; but now we use them for kids with school anxiety or even just kids who are expressing some concerns about school. The cards help them break down the different components of school and articulate what they do and don’t like.

Sure! Some cards are tailored to subjects that you only find in high school, but we have used them regularly with children in lower grades.
