Some young people feel things BIG… but can’t always find the words for it.

Alexithymia isn’t “being dramatic”, “shut down”, or “not trying”.
It’s when emotions are happening inside, but they’re hard to notice, name, or explain.

So you might see “I don’t know”, a blank face, or calm-on-the-outside… but inside?
It can be loud, confusing, and overwhelming.

This visual breaks down what alexithymia is, how it can show up, and what actually helps.

Moving to a new phase of education with an EHC plan?

At this time of year, many families reach out to us for advice about their child's move from one phase of education to another - whether it's nursery to primary, primary to secondary, or beyond.

If your child has an EHC plan, your local authority has a legal duty to review and amend the plan when your child moves between particular stages of education.

The deadlines for when your child's EHC plan must be reviewed and amended are:
✅ 31 March for those moving from secondary school to a post-16 institution
✅ 15 February for all other phases of transfer

These deadlines are statutory, not optional.

For further guidance on this topic, take a look at our resources on annual reviews, including template letters to help you take action when your local authority is not complying with the law: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/moving-to-a-new-phase-of-education-with-an-ehc-plan
