Guest guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 HI Isobel  I have made an appointment for her to review our son 16 NT with fine motor skill issues and struggling at school. We see her on 20th November... so can report back then.. She sounds lovely on the phone and definately in the corner of the child and the childs needs.. She seems to be working in the State and Private school network.. She is now based between Kings Lynn and Fakenham in Norfolk.  I think her name carries a lot of weight with the county councils in this area...so it is a valuable investment for us... Cost about £430 .. and at that price she also does all the paper work for access to higher education and applying for additional time etc.. which is brilliant for us. She says it will take up to 4 weeks for her report to reach us.  Tracey  hi vicky what can you tell me about isobel pilkilton? as she has been suggested by my lawyer.. did you win what borough are you in?all the best Isobel > > > > Hi,> > Can anybody recommend a good indpendent Ed Psych.> I've searched the archives, but doesn't seem to be much around. > > Cheers,> Elaine> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi Isobel we didn't need tribunal, in the end they mediated and we got what we wanted but they did receive Isobel Pilkingtons report. I believe she is an OFSTED inspector so that can only help. She visited 's school, visited us at home and visited the school we said we wanted which is owned by a former OFSTED inspector, ha, ha every trick in the book and all that. I am happy to send you her report in email if you want to see it.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Tracey I would definately get both as it proves that the LA ones are dire, they do not get enough time to assess and write reports and when you compare towards I.Pilkingtons it completely wipes the floor with it. For example the LA shoved a box of crayons under Jacks nose and he pulled a crayon out of the box, in her report she put 'jack chose a blue crayon and can choose colours " !!!!!  Jack has only just been able to identify blue and red four years later!!! Marina x  A question.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Be careful. LA ones are not independent and may skew their advice to what the LA has locally. Also, whatever testing they carry out can't be repeated within 6 months , so if the LA one tests first and then you hire a private one, they may have their hands tied to some extent because aertain assessment tools won't be available to them.
