When you ask for an initial evaluation from a school, ask for an eval to
see
if the child qualifies for special education services, rather than for a
specific disability (e.g. dysgraphia). This will help the school staff look
at the child more holistically and hopefully cover a broader base of
potential needs. Good luck.
