ABA-friendly Ed Psychs and SALTs, anyone?

I need an independent Ed Psych who is reasonably ABA-friendly, as we're going to tribunal to get funding for our ABA programme.

I've searched the archives and rung around a bit, but somehow I'm none the wiser - Alan Willis and Gillian Willis are booked up, and David Urani will be away during the time the tribunal is likely to be held - also very very expensive! Has anyone worked with Mary Robertson, Alan Finer, Peter Parkhouse, Leah Burman, Rukhsana Meherali, Suzie Mitchell, Isobel Pilkington?

Also, anyone know any ABA-friendly SALTs who have tribunal experience?

Moondog is an ABA friendly SALT, but I think she's away at the moment. No idea if she has tribunal experience, but she always seems ptetty professional to me

Why not CAT her for when she gets back?

oh also my old SALT is ABA friendly- not sure about tribunal stuff. I could email her and ask, or ask her if she knows anyone. CAT me if you want, or I can CAT you.

Have you had a look on ASLTIP - www.helpwithtalking.com?

Thanks everyone, and sorry I haven't replied earlier - this tribunal business just takes up so much time!

gess, I will CAT Moondog, good idea, and if you could ask your old SALT, that would be great! Please CAT me if you find out anything.

Thanks also for the link to the ASLTIP website - I had seen that one before, but couldn't find it anymore, seems to have moved?

electra, I did post on ABA-UK but didn't get many replies. It seems to me that most people are using Allan Willis, Gillian Willis or David Urani. David Phillips, the tribunal rep we're using, recommended "horses for courses", so I've now made an appointment with Gillian Willis for the end of January - ouch! I could kick myself, when I contacted her earlier, she still had dates available in October, and now she's all booked up! Why oh why does it take me so long to make a decision???
