apologies if this has been asked before - it's late and I need to go to bed rather than search archives!
We've jsut had a somewhat disappointing assessment with an independent ed.psych re DS' possible dyslexia.
He's raised possibility of dyspraxia, which I told him we'd had assessed by a paediatrician last year, who discounted the possibility.
He seemed to snort at this and suggested instead we see a private occupational therapist.
I'm happy to bankrupt us to do this if it will help DS but is an OT qualified to diagnose? More so than a paediatrician? I find it hard to believe this and am therefore not sure whether to trust this man's advice
TIA.
