My daughter has assistive technology written into her IEP and the school provides an ipad for her in the classroom.

Anyone on the IEP team can request an assessment and as his parent, you are a member of that team. So, they can't deny it. When I know one of my children will benefit from a service that they aren't already receiving I always pose the question in an email to their teacher, "What do I need to do for the school to perform a ... assessment?" I don't give any defense of why I think it's needed unless they ask. So far, we've never been denied an assessment or a service.
