St Helens LEA & Private EP

[littlelegsmum]

Does anyone have any dealings with St Helens LEA with regards to SEN, Statutory Assessments and such?

I'm looking for the best person to be able to diagnose my DD. She has lots of ASD traits and without this diagnosis, we don't seem to be able to get support for DD :( . . Therefore please let us know any Private routes we could follow and it would be very appreciated.

NAS Helpline keeps a list of private diagnosticians.

I really don't know anything about st helens la. I do know however that the dowey jones unit at Alder hey do private dx.

Thank you both for those details. I've looked at the Dewi Jones Unit and I can't see where it says they accept referrals and will diagnose children who are referred by parents

I haven't used them myself but I can find out the details for you next week. It maybe possible you can ask your gp to refer you nut I will find out.

Thanks keeping, that would be really helpful. I did try and call a few times but it was just ringing out.
