Educational Psychologist

[mammoon567]

Has anyone's child seen seen the educational psychologist at school and not needed intervention? My 4 year old started school 3 weeks ago and they're wanting to refer because he point blank refuses to sit and write with the other children. He's never been in a school setting before and we're hoping its environmental. Just wondering if anyones child has seen the educational psychologist and everything has been ok

Ask for a meeting with the SENCO and class teacher together so they can lay out clearly their observations and concerns it’s wrong that you’ve not been given a clearer picture here. I’m all for early intervention so I wouldn’t necessarily refuse permission for the EP but I’d certainly want a full picture of what it is they are seeing to raise concerns a long with what strategies they are currently using.
