The inversion is a very classic sign of dyslexia (forget I said that, the one thing they tell you from day one is that you aren’t qualified to diagnose). I would do some extensive testing, and see what the school can suggest.

Main thing to remember with an IEP is that it’s only as good as the people using it. If it just sits in a file, it’s not much good to anyone, at least until college. It should be something that makes the kid’s life easier, not harder.

We’re waiting to hear back now how to proceed further, ADD and Dyslexia have both been hinted at, but like you, they don’t want to diagnose it. The teacher and the school resource teacher both agreed she could use the assessment and I put my request in writing at our conference yesterday. I’m going to be a pain in the ass until I get her in a program and see progress.
