Educational Psychologist assessment

7 replies

My 11 year old son has FASD, ADHD, TOURETTES, HIGH ANXIETY and suspected ASC.
Local authority sat he must go to mainstream school, we say he can't cope and needs specialist provision. We go to appeal in August and are in desperate need for an up to date Ed Psych assessment ASAP. Does anyone have any advice where to go or recommendations. We live in Lancs but can travel anywhere if need be.

When was his last EP assessment done?

@Dianne2058

I don't know this man personally, but I wonder whether he could assist.

Contact IPSESA. You need a specialist who can be an expert witness at tribunal.

You may need SALT and OT as well. Specialist is not easy to get and you need recent reports from people who can be expert witnesses.

The problem you are going to have is the short timescale. You will have to persevere because EPs have long waits at the moment but cancellations do come up. You could try Marina Gouzia Allen, Leanne Short, Nick Logan, Jonathon Middleton. Paul Kelly is well thought of too, but the same applies to him.
