Speaking as an american educator, I don't have much that is positive to say about special education system in the school systems. The people want to do good work but it is warehouse education and there isn't as much individualized attention as could be desired. The focus is on mainstreaming kids into a standardized class. As much as I would like to do well by my special ed kids, I don't have the training, skills, or time to do the job properly. It troubles me a lot.
It might be a good thing to see if you can find someone who does special education assessment on a consulting basis and see if you can get some answers. The local education colleges might be a place to start to find out if there are such consultants in the area.

I hope you find some answers.
