Ask Dr. Pierson and Dyslexia Reflections

I've just changed jobs from classroom teacher to assistant principal. Part of my responsibilities is with our child study team. We have a young man whose parents believe that he is dyslexic and when his mom talked to the pediatrician was told that testing can be done at school. When I checked in with my special education experts, they said that we do not do dyslexia testing. They can check for a learning disability, but apparently, they don't definitively say dyslexia. I am at a loss for how to direct this parent.
