Hi
DS 4.5 has recently had a sensory assessment with a private OT. We resorted to that after battling (and failing) for a year to get an NHS assessment. The OT is confident he has dyspraxia, although we'll need to wait until we can see the paediatrician again for a formal diagnosis.
The OT has given a long list of recommendations at the end of her report, for both home and school. One of the things she's advised we seek is a course of sensory integration therapy (process oriented). However, the NHS website mentions that task-oriented therapy is more effective.
We'll need to find out whether we can even access either type through the NHS, and I'm not sure we can afford private treatment. But does anyone have experience of which therapy type worked best for them/their DC?
Many thanks!
