Momsdream-
We also have a (now college freshman) 18 yr old who is academically bright and had no learning problems.
We have had to learn a whole new path for our daughter and it's not been easy.
We are in NJ and pay astronomical property taxes that support our schools, including special ed. We have been very fortunate that our school districts child study process while not perfect, has been better than many I hear of.
Our daughter's needs are undeniable so the purse strings have not been so tight in her case. It might almost be more difficult to obtain cooperation and help for your daughter whose situation doesn't seem so urgent (except to you the caring mom!).
In NJ, I do believe that the sending school district is responsible to perform evals and testing of students living in the disctrict. I would start there. Try to obtain written progress reports from your child's teacher and put all your requests (politely) in writing. Please ask if you think I can help.
