From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. About three years ago, that was me. An EHCP fight, every single day. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ€

  • โ€œI was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was school refusal since September. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you it gets easier, because I don't know if it does. What I can say is that you learn to carry it better. The assessments, the meetings, the forms, they're exhausting, but you're the expert on your child. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Find one person who gets it, even if it's just someone online. And if you can, find two hours a week just for you. It's not selfish, it's survival.โ€

  • โ€œto whoever needs this: i was where you are two months ago. school refusal since september. this morning i sat in the garden with a coffee and felt ok. it came back for me a little at a time.โ€
