Find the number for social services ( sometimes available from your council's website ) and ring them and ask for a referral for an Occupational Therapy assessment .

I've just done this for my son, they ask a few questions over the phone and then you should get a letter from them with a date for them to visit you.

( I've had to spell check and auto correct 90 % of this message grrr ! )

Think my fingers are giving up the ghost lol.
