Did the place that did her testing give you a list of tutors or any information about software/websites you can use at home? If you have a computer/iPad/iPod, etc at home, there are lots of websites and apps that can help her. Earobics is a good free website that we use for our son at the recommendation of the testing site. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, there are tons of apps to do with reading, writing, spelling...just search by whatever topic you want to work on with her. Most are free or have a free trial version before you buy.
I have had the same experience that the school doesn't want to change for our son, even though we have documentation that they MUST do so...it's very frustrating.
Here's a website I found that has TX specific resources and that could give you some information on advocates and tutors in your area.
This page has links to some information about National Dyslexia laws that you can bring to your school's attention:

Good luck!
