a bit about me
I have been an Educational Psychologist since 1997
Before that I worked as a teacher for 18 years, mainly in special schools
I am qualified, insured, HCPC registered and I have enhanced DBS clearance. I am a member of the Association of Educational Psychologists
I work as an independent EP. I am also registered with Psychology Today
the work I do
I do face-to-face work with the child in their school or home setting
I use standardized tests to assess their academic and cognitive skills. This gives me the opportunity to get to understand them better as a learner
I write an educational psychology report that can be used to inform the EHCP process and advise on support arrangements for the client
I specialize in dyslexia, dyscalculia, general learning difficulties and identifying specific learning difficulties. I give advice on school placement

I write books I have published a set of books to help children who have exceptionally weak number skills and/or discalculia. The material relies on precision teaching and the spatial visualization of number. The books can be photocopied for use in group teaching situations. The teaching model requires a coach who delivers the program. Order these books by emailing me at: peteratpfordeseven@gmail.com
I also write other things:
I publish short stories, including a play about animals that can speak (see picture opposite). Read excerpts at: www.royalannualstaghunt.com
As an EP I developed a group work model designed to gather peer support to help vulnerable children in school. This is available on WORD free of charge at: peteratpfordeseven@gmail.com
I wrote a doctoral thesis about school exclusion (available at: etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/21662/
