I officially hate the phrase 'work avoidance' because people use it to describe every single problem behavior and thus create the image of the child being bad and not wanting to work rather than, you know, the students being non speaking high support needs children who are obviously struggling in the environment created in our school. You can avoid ever thinking by just labeling it all work avoidance!
#autism in schools#sigh#sometimes it's exhausting#because the behavior obviously stems from something else#but work avoidance is easier to label#and easier to 'handle' because you just have to make them work#which is also shitty#what i wouldn't give for a person in power to be neurodiversity affirming#instead of making these kids sit at tables in regular chairs with so few accommodations#ughhh
