Diagnosis and professional help
The Home School Legal Defense Association has an excellent special needs department with articles, screening tools, and recommendations here. They also provide advice to their members.
SPED Homeschool is another nonprofit offering good resources and encouragement through podcasts, webinars, online meetings, and more. (Disclosure: at this writing, I am on the SPED Homeschool advisory board, an unpaid position.)
For more on finding education and medical professionals to help you homeschool and to understand your child’s challenges, read “Professionals who can help you homeschool,” chapter 8 of Homeschooling Your Struggling Learner.

For specific advice on finding an occupational therapist, see my blog.
HSLDA advises parents try to avoid using public school education professionals if possible in “Finding a Homeschool Friendly Special Education Professional,” downloaded September 18, 2020.
