At present, adult DCD (dyspraxia) assessment, services are not available through the Public Health System for people born before the 1st June 2022. Dyspraxia/DCD Ireland are working to address this issue and you can find out more about the work we are doing in our Education section.
At the moment in order to obtain an assessment you will have to contact an Occupational Therapist (OT) privately.
Not many OT's in Ireland carry out adult assessments, and there is a cost involved to have this assessment privately. If you require further information, please get in touch with us at Dyspraxia/DCD Ireland - Contact Us
Dyspraxia/DCD Ireland offer a private assessment service to adults up to the age of 22. Our OT has significant experience in working with individuals with Dyspraxia/DCD. The cost of assessment through our service is €450 with a €25 discount for members. Our clinic is based in Limerick City and while wait times may vary they are generally shorter than the national average. You can find further information on our assessment service Dyspraxia/DCD Ireland - Occupational Therapy Services
You may also wish to review the AOTI website directory for a comprehensive directory of OTs.
We recommend that when you contact an OT that you do ask any questions that you have prior to committing to a particular service. Questions may include: the experience of the OT in diagnosing adults with DCD, what the assessment will entail, how long it will take, the cost, what follow up services there might be etc.
