Yes, an accommodation you can put in there is absences.
And this also applies a lot to children who are medically fragile as well.
And so it can apply to the anxiety as well, that they have a stipulation in there that says that yes, they might be late, they might be tardy.
You might still get those notices because they're mandated and oftentimes they're automatic.
that you know those tardy notices come out, that kind of thing.
But the other thing that I just want to mention is that it's really difficult.
It depends on your school team, but that really should be supported within the school as well.
When we see school refusal, that's usually because something is not being supported in the school environment.
And the hard thing is convincing the school that they need to do something about it.
Because they will say, well, it's not happening at school, so we have no control over it.
Well, there's probably something that's going on inside the school walls.
that's causing that anxiety to happen, right?
Not all the time.
Sometimes it can just be a generalized anxiety kind of thing, but most of the time it can be supported.
And one of the easiest things to ask for is just to have some person.
It doesn't have to be a specific person.
But ask for a person to be your child's person, where if they're feeling unsafe, if they're having anxiety, that's the person that they go to.
Something like a check-in, check-out process is an easy thing to ask for.
But yes, to answer your question shortly, yes, it can be written into the IEP.
You still might have to get those notices, but you should really have a good a communication with your school team to say this is what's happening.
