[quote=Anonymous]OP, why did you get your child a full neuropsych evaluation at apparently great financial cost, if not to make sure he is fully supported at school?  I'm confused.

As for your specific question:  PT and OT helped my uncoordinated DS get a lot more confident with climbing and running, although he does get sad because he'll still always be "last."  Within his IEP, I would be able to figure out a way that PE would help him develop his skills and not humiliate him.

The school is likely not going to test a 4th grader for gross motor delays as part of the IEP because they're not really related to academics for a kid that age.  But if you have an IEP, you can sort of bootstrap it to address things like a humiliating PE teacher.  Fine motor delays that are impacting handwriting/keyboarding are more relevant to academics, and you might be able to get OT.  But for the gross motor, you're probably going to have to go to a private pay OT.  Personally I think it's really worth the money.  [/quote]
