Who decides which professional assesses your child.

[Peaceflower]

This may be a silly question but I'm puzzled.

My dd was assessed and diagnosed by a clinical pschologist. My ds has been given an appointment to see a pediatrician for an asd.

Now I've been through the who's who in the sen provision list, and couldn't work out why my ds isn't seeing a CP too?

I can only tell you how it works here - all the Paeds seem to specialise in a particular area so although DS was assessed by a CP, he then moved into the care of Childrens Outpatients for 6 monthly appts with a paed who specialises in ASD and sits on the various special needs panels.
