Anyone recommend independent SaLT please?

[BialystockandBloom]

Can anyone recommend a good, independent SaLT please? This is for our appeal against ds's woeful statement.

Ds has ASD. We do ABA so ideally want a pro-ABA SaLT, or at the very least one who is an expert in language disorder/language in ASD children rather than speech delay in NT children iyswim.

In the London area.

Or is there a site listing them anywhere?

TIA.

Bialy, I wish there was as I am trying to locate them being an s/lt who bases all my work on the principles of ABA. I am hoping to collate this information later this year.
I don't work privately though.

It might be useful to contact the ABA schools (Treehouse, Rainbow, Jigsaw) and ask them.

Baily I know one. She's not pro-ABA especially but she is sensible and knows her stuff and whilst doesn't see it her place to make ABA recommendations will support any sensible-looking alternative to a dodgy LA provision. She's extremely tribunal savy and has lots of ASD experience professionally and personally.

Her NOT being especially pro-ABA comes across well at tribunal and if you press her her reasons are more to do with the unregulated provision in this country rather than ABA in itself. She has seen dodgy models as well as good iyswim.

PM and I'll try and dig her details up. She's not in the London area but she does travel. She was our best tribunal witness.
