The testing we (the teacher and I) have discussed is to test him for dyslexia. According to the teacher it is a medical diagnosis and not a learning disability therefore, the district won’t test for it. Does anyone know how correct that is?

Glad to hear it! And glad to hear that you and the reading recovery teacher are seeing progress.
As far as whether testing for dyslexia is a medical diagnosis, I don't know for sure, but I would guess that it might be. ADHD is a medical diagnosis. You might give your pediatrician a quick call to enquire about it.
