In addition, if you are sleuthing for developmental disabilities of any kind, some states or counties have entities ("county boards of disability services" and the like) that may cover the process of diagnosing, even if they do not cover the subsequent treatment. A children's hospital or the neuropsych's office should be able to advise.
