we want special school - had emergency review which school stated they cannot meet his needs, evidence that he cannot cope with school via the paed and he is in school mornings only, private OT report which details his huge issues and recommends special school, academically he is falling, his behaviour is detoriating and the lea today say just because hes not coping in this mainstream school doesnt mean he cannot cope in another mainstream school!!!!!!!!!!!!! they also suggested that maybe he is educated in a library away from everyone else

despite the fact he is year 3 and now in his 4th school - they want to get a their own NHS OT report for a 'balanced' view which they have to pay for. 6 weeks since emergency review - statementing officer says statement has to be finalised by 8 weeks so told her to finalise. so looks like im heading to tribunal so need a good ed psych to say why mainstream is not the right enviroment. we live in the centre of the country - near leicester so would be grateful if people could give me some recommendations and also how much it is likely to cost

I contacted SOS:SEN for a list of local recommended Ed Psychs and they were very helpful.

I looked at the bps website and emailed and rang a few up and went with my gut feeling and recomendations from another EP who couldn't take our case on atm, as to which one sounded most suited to what I needed. Price wise they are all around the same £70 - £80 an hour or between £500 and £800 and about double if you needed them at Tribunal.

We used this one.
I got a list from SOSsen but none of them could help in my timeframe so one of them suggested writing to theregistration body and putting out an request for help. I looked them up when they replied and then made a choice
