Section 508 (Score 1)

As someone who was trained as a teacher (English), I say this: get help from the school. In the United States--- yes, I assumed that's where this student is from--- since public schools are run with public funds they are subject to Section 508. <boring details removed> To sum up, the staff at the school are required to accomodate this student with special instruction, equipment, etc--- bascially whatever is necessary to ensure education in the least restrictive environment.

The staff is probably more than willing to do whatever is necessary. Often, due to budget restrictions, the administration will prevent teachers from suggesting to parents that the necessary paperwork is filed. Once it's filed, they have no way out. A parent can request, and requests can be followed by demands, a 508 evaluation. In this case, it'd be a no-brainer.

Look into what resources the school is required to provide. This shouldn't fall under special education either; that's different. An IEP, as another poster suggested, won't ditract from the student's education though.
