Some counties and states have funding for testing where a disability is suspected. Sometimes this is called "bureau of exceptional children" or "bureau of children with medical handicaps," sometimes "board of developmental disabilities" or other titles like that. You may have to google around a bit because these names differ in different regions.

The office of a good tester should be able to tell you what funding sources are available. If you use a hospital that routinely sees Medicaid patients, they will take more kinds of insurance (including state/county funding) than a private practice physician will. And they will be more likely to be able to tell you what's available in this regard.
