Ed psychs - what should look for?

[2boysnamedR]

I have no recommendations so I am blind here. Helen Arkel centre is on list.

What should I look for? I have narrowed it down to people who have knowledge of dyspraxia and tribunals.

What else?

ensure that the EP is registered and chartered and has experience with both preparing reports for tribunal and acting as witness.

What body should they belong to? As for tribunal - do I need to ask them for referees? Ta

I found mine by word of mouth from other professsionals that I was using

EPs should be registered with HCPC

Health Professions Council

For independent EPs, look here:

Association of Child Psychologists in Private Practice

You could also try asking organisations like SOS!SEN who has a list of professionals. www.sossen.org.uk/

Best of all is of course personal recommendations

What would you think about EPs who normally work for the LEA side of tribunals?
