Educational Psychologist recommendations for a tribunal - ASAP

Hi
This is like asking for unicorn droppings, but can anyone recommend a GOOD educational psychologist who will know about specific learning difficulties and developmental language disorder, and who does EHCP tribunal work? I'm envisaging that our tribunal will be January/February, so we need someone to assess this side of Christmas - but everyone is busy :-(
Help!

Have you tried David Urani? He is very good. We used him for our EHCP and now for the tribunal. Not sure about his availability.

...no I hadn't - I've heard he's an ABA therapy man, and I'm completely against ABA so wouldn't use someone who advocates it on principle. Thanks for the recommendation, though.

David Urani is now a Tribunal Panel member so can't act for parents anyway.

I don't know if Vivienne Clifford fits the bill but Juanita Hurley is excellent around DLD and may be able to recommend someone if the ed psychs here can't: www.londonautismpractice.co.uk/team

All very experienced and skilled around Tribunals.

(I was told that about David U by a solicitor, I should add, not by him personally. We used him for our 1st but he's apparently not taking on new clients now for that reason.)

Thank you - very helpful. I’ve found someone now.
