Private OT - where & how to find a good one Help!

[CinnamonPretzel]

We have to wait approx another six months for our DSs initial review under NHS OT. This OT is very good/experienced in sensory issues and ASD.

Should we wait, or start considering finding our own and paying?

DS has a large amount if sensory issues and because they overlap with other symptoms of his diagnosis, it's difficult day to day, especially so at school.

Do you know where I can find a very good, experienced OT in the Essex area?

Thanken you muchly :)

my ds had an assessment with Lara Johnstone who is based in Essex. will pm you the phone number.

SOSSEN know some good ones as they had one at a talk I went to.

What side of Essex I know one in herts

Thanks guys :)
Lisad, I'm in the Chelmsford, Thurrock, Bretwood area.

You can go to the NHS Vision Therapy and Multi Sensory clinic at the Essex County Hospital in Colchester. I drove through Chelmsford, Thurrock and Brentwood to get there! I had only a 6 week wait for an appt. They have an OT, behavioural optometrist and vision therapist.

lisa who is ot in Herts not intrested in sensory side but from motor skill sides.As ds has his AR coming up soon and think time for a fresh pair of eyes

Its a lady called Lizanne, she does private work but also has a clinic in harely street.
