Raviv method - any experiences of this with dyspraxic type issues?

ds has motor skill(fine and gross), sensory and sequencing issues which affect his learning and concentration. While we lived abroad we were spoilt and had ready access to an Ot attached to the school. He is on the NHS waiting list for OT but will probably not even be assessed until the end of the year. In the meantime his school is helping him with handwriting and concentration and he does lots of timetabled activities which involve motor skill work. He is also seeing an osteopath occasionally but as he has good muscle tone she can only help so much.

I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to locate a private OT who treats children in East Surrey but whilst looking have come across a centre which uses the Raviv method primarily for dyslexia , but also, the site suggests, other learning problems. Does anyone have any specific experience of what it is, how it works and whether it helps long term.

No experience of the Raviv method, but when I googled it what I found was a set of pretty negative posts on a dyslexia forum.

The web site you mentioned on the other thread is probably
www.otip.co.uk
There are a few listed as treating children in Surry, on of whom lists dyspraxia.

Thanks, SQ, that is the site I was looking for. Think most are the paediatric ones opposite end of Surrey though but will try one or two of the vaguer ones.
