Two thoughts:

1) A student can still receive special ed services through the public
school while attending a private one. The parent will have to take
initiative to get the child tested and to get the child to/from
sessions, but it can be done.

and

2) If you're affiliated with a church, have you asked for volunteers
to tutor? There are a LOT of retired teachers, including retired
special ed teachers out there who LOVE the chance to work 1-1 with a
child, and may be able to help here.

And, finally, there are private schools which offer special ed
services, usually at an additional fee over tuition. You'd have to
look at what it would cost to hire someone to come in and do regular
tutoring and resource support to figure out whether it's reasonable
for your school to do this. I also know of schools which require that
students who are struggling academically receive outside tutoring to
remain enrolled at the school.
