Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test gathers a parent's observations on their child's disengagement from school: involvement in schoolwork, the behaviors that move them away from school itself, the meaning the child still finds in what they do there, and the place they keep among their classmates. The report situates each of these downward slopes and indicates which one started first. If you feel significant concern for your child, contact your local emergency services, or find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Is my child at risk of school disengagement? — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test gathers a parent's observations on disengagement from school: schoolwork, avoidance, the meaning still found there, place among classmates. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This test covers avoidance, withdrawal, isolation, rejection, the future, hope, curiosity, procrastination, recognition, self-esteem, mood, dialogue, support, identity and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Avoidance If your child regularly finds excuses not to go to school, such as a stomach ache or tiredness. If your child gets up in the morning for school without trying to stay home. Withdrawal If your child comes home exhausted and withdraws at once, for no clear reason. If your child seems different at school from at home, closed off, faded, not themselves. Isolation If your child often eats alone or avoids breaks and free periods at school. If your child mentions classmates and seems to have friends at school. Rejection If your child says they feel invisible or ignored at school. If your child says they have nothing in common with classmates and feels out of place. The future If your child talks about the future very vaguely or says they do not know. If your child has ambition and a wish to succeed, even in subjects they find harder. Hope If your child says they cannot change anything and that effort is pointless. If your child says they will end up sidelined or that their future is settled. Curiosity If your child no longer asks questions about what they learn or seeks to understand. If your child keeps the same interest in subjects they liked a few months ago. Procrastination If your child hands in rushed or incomplete work, though they are capable of more. If your child does homework on their own, including tasks that take real effort. Recognition If your child seems indifferent to their marks and to what teachers think. If your child has no reaction, whether joy, pride or disappointment, to their results. Self-esteem If your child says they are not made for school or compares badly with others. If your child says they have no place at school or in their class. Mood If, on Sunday evening or Monday morning, your child's mood stays as on any other day. If your child only mentions school to complain, never anything positive. Dialogue If your child talks readily with their teachers and accepts meetings with them. If your child always turns down help with homework or will not discuss it. Support If your child speaks positively about at least one teacher or adult at school. If your child seems to have no trusting relationship with an adult at school. Identity If your child says school does not let them express who they really are. If your child speaks of school with detachment or cynicism, as if it were not theirs. Readiness to change If the signs of disengagement you see in your child affect your family life right now. If you want to take action to better support your child in this situation.

Reference frameworks and authors

This test helps identify signs; understanding what they express happens with your child, and if needed, with a professional.
