There are a lot of good resources at Wrights Law [Wrightslaw Special Education Law and Advocacy](http://www.wrightslaw.com/)
My friends’ experiences support that if you can get outside medical/psych diagnosis it is usually faster and more thorough. Schools sometimes for whatever reason drag their feet or deny there is a problem. It not clear if the school in the OP is doing that. There are some experts in dual exception kids, high intelligence coupled with learning disabilities. If that is the case it is worth finding a specialist with that emphasis.
