Does anyone know of an educational psychologist who doesn’t have a huge waiting list?

They all do, but if you want medico-legal they will get cancelled slots when Hearings are settled - give them your dates and plead, is my advice!

Patsy Kershaw and Lindsay Peer are the ones I know are brilliant, in EHCP Appeal terms. It's a very specific skillset.

Incidentally, you DO want medico-legal early, because they specialise in being extremely specific and clear on the provision, right down to the time in total over a year, how often, and how qualified the person must be: TA or clinician. No state professional is allowed to do that, so without those reports you will struggle to get any direct provision at all written into the EHCP. With a report such as that, from a recognised medico-legal professional, if you Appeal, you will almost certainly get it.

Can recommend a brilliant OT and SLT if that would help, too.
