I would start from a good diagnostic interview with an experienced child/adolescent psychiatrist, to try to sort out the anxiety piece of things. Bring any testing data you have, as he/she should be comfortable reading those reports. You can also consider a neuropsych, to look at the processing speed, but since emotional interference may confound those results, I would do the psychiatric first, so the NP has that info when interpreting any supplementary test data they acquire. (It is important to provide new assessors with any data you already have, so they can make informed choices about assessment instruments.) Both the ch. psychiatrist and neuropsych should be ones who are familiar with relevant school recommendations, so look for practitioners experienced with school-related evals. (Some clinic-based evaluators write predominantly therapy-oriented recs, because they are accustomed to writing treatment plans, rather than ecological accommodations.)
