Recommendations for private dcd assessment

I completely understand what you’re going through. When my daughter was diagnosed with dyspraxia my whole world fell apart. I often felt overwhelmed, wondering how to support her in a world that can be so challenging for those with coordination issues. We found that seeking an occupational therapist was incredibly beneficial.

We also explored [Sispect Url removed by Admin] which helped her with her overall comfort and alignment. I remember feeling anxious about finding the right support, but the professionals we worked with were compassionate and understanding. I truly hope you find a good occupational therapist or other specialists who can provide the guidance you need. It made such a positive difference for us, and I believe it can for you too <3

It’s great that you’re looking into this. I totally get that sick feeling when you realize something has a name, but getting a diagnosis can really help make sense of things.

For adult assessments, you might want to check out local neuropsychology clinics or universities with psychology programs—they often have resources for adult assessments. An Occupational Therapist (OT) could definitely be a good route, too, especially since they can help with practical strategies for managing daily tasks.

I went through something similar a couple of years ago—spent way too long questioning why basic coordination was always a struggle. Eventually, I got assessed privately by an OT after running into dead ends with my GP and NHS pathways. The OT couldn’t give a medical "diagnosis," but their report was detailed and validating, and it helped me understand things a lot better. That alone felt worth the money. I’d say if you're not after medical paperwork for work/legal stuff, specialist teachers or OTs can still provide useful assessments that feel less clinical and more person-focused.
