Educational Evaluation:

If you wish to do the evaluation independently from your school district (or need the school district to get a better evaluation), you will find that there are many educational psychologists who claim to be qualified. 

Most educational psychologists and the majority of school psychologists do not know how to or refuse to evaluate for dyslexia- it is not part of their training.

Request this through the school, if they say they have already conducted an evaluation but, it did not test for dyslexia you can still request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)...see Wright's Law for details...

Quality Assurance

Seek Advice from - NYS Special Education Quality Assurance (sometimes that can be helpful) - they can investigate but they cannot demand that your District uses a science-based program. However, it is worth reporting any districts that refuse to educate children with disabilities.
