Private OT in London for motor skill (possible Dyspraxia) assessment?

[Dannygirl]

Sorry I guess this has been asked before but I can't find the thread. I have a son aged 9 who is diagnosed with dyspraxia. I have a very good friend in a different part of the country to us (Wimbledon in London) who thinks her son aged 8 may have fine and gross motor skill delays and possibly dyspraxia. She is keen on pursuing a private assessment (not necessarily a diagnosis but assessment and support e.g. OT). Can anyone tell me is she best finding an OT or Paediatrician or Ed Psych or someone else to assess her son? In our part of the world it's a Paediatrician who diagnoses and OT support but I think it's different in different areas. And can anyone recommend someone specifically in South London? School are not supportive sadly. Thanks in advance x

We had an assessment with Laura Irwin at The Child and Family Practice. She is a Neurodevelopment Physiotherapist and was recommended by a friend with a now diagnosed dyspraxic son. Really liked her and she definitely knows her onions.

Bloomsbury though, not South London!

Thanks both!

Hopscotch therapy might be an option? They are central London.
