education psychologist

[drwitch]

Anybody got any hints or advice about how to get a private consultation. Ds (11)really struggles at dealing with things he finds hard (even though he can do them really well when he calms down). - Gets either really angry or really teary and neither response is when he moves up to secondary school. Its making him happy and stopping him learning at the rate of his peers. Not looking for a formal diagnosis as such but more some help in teaching him to deal with these feelings

OP - why not do as Augusta said right at the start! Ring SOS!SEN for advice. Experienced people on a Helpline get far more of an overview of what happens to parents all over the country than one parent or professional on here - especially if they do tribunals too! Plus they get to talk regularly with the best independent professionals, academics and education lawyers - because they work with them on cases and sit on working parties at the DFE, the Tribunal, etc!

PS - Eleanor Wright, a highly regarded education solicitor works for SOS!SEN.
