Our school will not cover handwriting under OT and our insurance, very good Blue Cross Blue Shield, will not pay for handwriting with an OT. We paid out of pocket with my older twin. Even with her cerebral palsy diagnosis it isn't covered by insurance. They will address other OT issues and both twins did receive services for other things but not handwriting. My oldest DD also has dysgrphia and the school will write accomodations into her IEP, which we have in place. I honestly doubt you will get anywhere with the handwriting.
My DD does get some services for executive functions skills but that is with a social worker.
Services do change greatly once you move to the middle school and high school environment.
