Under law, the Rehabilitation act of 1973, and ADA, of 1990, children with evidence of handicap must be accomodated. Go to your child's school board and demand that their special services division do more testing. Or have a counselor, psycologist or psychiatrist of your chosing test and confirm learning difficuties in your child.

It sounds to me like you need to take this issue to your school board -you have tried the school ..now it is time to take it a step farther....and if you hit another wall there ..keep on going to the state board......
...writing letters and words backwards is a sign of Dyslexia......

it could be dislexia but since you say 'further testing' has she been tested for dislexia?
