Aaaaaargh! EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST!

[deeeja]

My son has a diagnosis of autism. I am going through the assessment for statement, I have the medical evidence for the statement. I am still waiting for salt report. The LA educational psychologist has written a report for my son based on an observation she made of my ds a few months ago. She won't let me see a copy of it before it goes to panel. I managed to speak to her on the phone, and I got some information from her, by asking her for her professional opinion. She has told me that she has put on her report that my ds as mild asd, and could cope in a mainstream setting. My son's paediatrician thinks that my ds could never cope in a mainstream setting.
I want to meet with the EP to discuss her report with her. Obviously EP doesn't want to because I have no choice but to disagree with her report.
Can I legally make her comply with my request to a meeting about her report. She is not taking any of my views into account, my ds has no comprehension of language, and his expressive language is all immediate echolalia. When I challenged her about this, she admitted that he would need a large amount of support.
What can I do about my situation?
If there is nothing I can do legally, is there something -sneaky and underhand- persuasive that anyone can think of?
I have an appointment with a private EP (Linda Miller) in June, but I want to see what I can do about the LA EP aswell.

Also the EP did a joint report with a pre-school home visitor, and did no proper assessments of my son.
I thought the report was just her report, can I complain about that?

No help with your LA EP (though it sounds shocking that she could in a conversation with you contradict her own report) - but just to say that we had a brief conference with Linda Miller and I think she's fantastic. And is very highly thought-of in the field.
