Desperately on the hunt for PDA informed speech and language, Sensory OT and education psychologist to complete assessments and reports suitable for send tribunal. Any recommendations in the midlands at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

You could try Libby Hill for SALT. Failing her, you could look at Louise Engers.

For OT, you could try Sam Shard, Alison Hart (or a couple of the other OTs who work in that organisation), Tamkeka Harris, Andrew Reeves, Mary Cunningham, Laura Graham and Julia Metcalf. Not all in East Mids but all are within travelling distance.

For EPs, you could look at Melanie Hartgill is within travelling distance. Depending on where in East Mids, Jonathan Middleton in Yorkshire might work, or Nick Palmer in Norwich may travel to you. Not cheap and he isn’t for everyone, but there is Nick Logan.

Lots of families travel for the right person with capacity, so you don’t necessarily have to stick to the midlands if you can travel.

Not in the Midlands but will travel - Marina Gouzouli Allen for EP based in Rochdale. Very experienced tribunal expert witness.

M G-A is (or at least was) doing more virtually than she used to.
