[quote=Anonymous][[b]quote=Anonymous]OP here. Why would we need more testing. We already know there is a problem. I would like advice as to how to address it with the school.[/quote][/b]

Father of HFA kid here.  You need to tease out these other factors so you can get a stronger 504 or, if you want something effective, an IEP.  You need to have outside testing done because the school will fight you for an IEP.  You need to be able to have a tester or psychiatrist (we had both) come to the IEP meeting with the school district to act as an advocate to get special service via an IEP (504s are worthless).  My high-functioning asperger's kid is now an adult and cannot write a paper to save his life.  It's just the way he is hard-wired and no amount of special tutoring could overcome it.  Same with dysgraphia, dyslexia, etc.  You cannot begin to understand your child until you know - via a GOOD tester and GOOD psychiatrist (they are hard to find) what you and the school are dealing with.[/quote]
