One thing to consider is that it’s not always advised to redshirt kids with a disability. If they seem a little immature, the extra year can be a real gift. But if they have a disability, the disability will still be there a few years later and it can feel awful to be both the oldest kid and the kid who struggles. This is why we ultimately sent ours on time.
My July birthday kid has adhd (diagnosed grade 1) and sending him on time was a huge mistake. No one cares how old anyone is. If you are worried your kid isn’t read then best to hold them back. There are some private transitional K programs you could use to see how they do and then repeat K in public or move to first grade depending
