Hello, do you know the job title of the people who assessed your son? Were they psychologists? Diagnosis usually comes from clinical rather than educational psychologists. It may be that they want various members of the team to assess your son before confirming diagnosis. An educational psychology assessment will be important for planning for your son's future educational provision. I'm wondering if there has been some confusion regarding the professional your son needs to see or purpose the purpose of the assessment? Hannah (educational psychologist)

I suggest you phone the team and ask them to clarify:
- each of their job title
- their role in the team
- what needs to happen next and why?
If you're still confused after this come back to me. -
