Work refusal is one of the most common challenges educators face, but not all refusals are the same. In this episode of The Autism Helper Podcast, we explore how to respond effectively by using the “Can’t Do or Won’t Do” framework. Understanding whether a student is avoiding work because they can’t complete the task or because they won’t is the key to choosing the right strategy. We’ll break down practical ways to assess the root cause, adjust your approach, and support students in building independence and confidence.
