Gill Matson, an Educational Psychologist based in the north of West Sussex, has experience of all special needs and a specialism in speech, language and communication difficulties, including autistic spectrum disorders.
Euboulia is a classical Greek word meaning good counsel or soundness of judgement and I chose this name for my practice as an independent Educational Psychologist because I believe the essence of my work is about encouraging children and young people to think and make good decisions. The logo represents the fact that good thinking and language skills underpin learning and educational progress. Good thinking, language and learning also enhance the general well being of children and young people.
I used to work as a qualified secondary school teacher for over nine years and I have been an EP for 29 years, both with Local Authorities and on the staff of special schools. As an EP I work with children and young people up to 19 years of age and with their parents.
You may need support and advice for your son or daughter’s special educational needs and this is what I offer:
- Consultation with parents
- School or Nursery visits in order to observe children
- Discussions with educational staff and other professionals
- Individual assessments of children and young people
- Written feedback in a report including the planning of programmes.
- Attendance as an Expert Witness at SEND Tribunal Hearings.
The venue for consultations and assessments is by agreement.
I am a specialist in speech, language and communication needs and in this field I also offer:
- Presentations or training to schools
- Design and management of research projects
