Educational Psychologist recommendations

Hi I am after any recommendations for an Educational Psychologist who covers the London area. My son is 17 and I am looking to change his EHCP from his sixth form to a 52 week residential college when he turns 18 in six months. The LA are being very slow so I thought a report by an EP might help. Thank you.

You could look at Vivienne Clifford, Ruth Birnbaum, Catherine Pierce or Stephanie Satariano.

You could also look at Jemma Levy who is within distance.

Many EPs travel too, so there are many other EPs you could look at that are not in London but are very good. Or who are within travelling distance.

Have you considered evidence from other professionals too? That will be helpful for a 52 week residential placement.

When a young person moves from one post 16 institution to another, the EHCP must be finalised at least 5 months before the move. Although lots have to appeal for a 52 week residential placement.
