During the current COVID-19 circumstances, please enquire about assessments using Telepractice (online video platforms) which we are now able to carry out for some children/young people.

We are a dynamic, hard working and innovative independent educational psychology practice headed by Ruth Birnbaum, author of ‘Choosing a School for a Child with Special Needs’.

We are all fully qualified psychologists registered under The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). We have chartered status under The British Psychological Society or are eligible to be chartered. We undertake legal assessments for Appeals to The Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal and for the Family Division Courts as well as providing oral evidence at Tribunal Hearings. We also undertake non legal assessment work including:
​
  • Assessments for children and young people up to the age of 19 years
  • Parent/school consultations   
  • In-service training
  • Special examination arrangements
  • Solution focused interventions
  • Dynamic assessment

We will welcome enquiries in any of the following areas of need:
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorder
  • Literacy or numeracy e.g. dyslexia and dyscalculia
  • Dyspraxia
  • Speech, language and communication
  • Emotional, social or behavioural
  • Learning deficit
  • Attention Deficit Disorder
  • Physical or sensory impairment

  • Developmental delay

We cannot cover the breadth of the work we do and therefore if what you are looking for has not been mentioned please contact the educational psychology practice to find out whether we can help you.

Ruth Birnbaum personally oversees all the work and the high level of referrals reflects the success and high regard the practice invites.
