Daughter Biting Herself HELP!

My 9 yr old daughter was diagnosed with multiple forms of dyslexia. She has moderate to severe dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. The public school system does not and will not recognize Dyslexia. She is being taken out of class periodically for one on one reading and math help. However, she gets no assistive technology because she is "too bright" and does not have what the public schools say is a learning disability. She has now turned to biting herself, picking at herself, and smacking her head at school. She has asked me to homeschool her, when their next vacation is, when school is out. I do NOT know what to do. I have talked to the teacher, the guidance counselor. We have IEPs - it does very little to build her self-esteem or lower her frustration level. There are no self-help groups in my area. I have called the Intl Dyslexia Assoc and there are no doctors that specialize in this or teachers that specialize in this within an 1hr and half of my area. WHAT do I do? I've read the book the "Gift of Dyslexia". What do I do? Who can help me and my daughter?
