My story goes - we have asked an independent ed psych to carry our an assessment of our DC. Just found out that the sch we wanted has been turned down. The 1st ed psy report does not show any clear indication of what our DC abilities are or any DX.
We now have asked for an independent assessment. Okay, the ed psych just informed us that the local sch which the LEA is suggesting is a good sch and our needs will be met. this is after we said to the ed psy that we are appealing the decision from the lea. How interesting - the tune has changed from our 1st meet with the independent ed psych, however has given us a get out clause - if our Dc will see the CAMHS then they cant carry out the assessment as they work with CAMHS.
Why does it seem that the ed psych is trying to sell this other sch to us and has blatantly said our DC will not be given the other sch without a ASD DX. Why do i feel that as this ed psych works for the LEA - their DX might not be correctly done.
i thought we are paying for an independent report not a distorted one.
Would it be a better idea to get another ed psych from a different borough then.
