we've been having real issues with our 7 year old dd learning. Ever since starting school at 4 she has had trouble concentrating and will get very easily distracted. She is now going into year 3 and probably about 2 years behind. We haven't had a lot of help from her school or the doctor and as a result we are now thinking of getting an educational assessment done privately. I have no idea where to start looking though. We live in West Sussex and wondered if anyone has used a child psychologist they would be happy to recommend.

Use these links to find EPs in your area:

The British Psychological Society’s directory of chartered psychologists - www.bps.org.uk/lists/DIR

The Association of Child Psychologists in Private Practice –

You might also want to think about asking for an EHC Needs Assessment. Information here:
