KJP, they shouldn't be determining need by scores alone-- there should be observation and collaboration by the whole team to determine need.
At a private, obviously, they don't *have* to do anything to help. I would probably look into getting an eval through the public schools; sometimes you can get services through them even if you have no plans to use their school for instruction.
During the phase where our school wouldn't help us, we remediated privately, and I wasn't sorry that we expended that effort. But IMO it's better to have help/remediation throughout the day if you can get it.
