I am a teacher. Most of my students are ESL. It could be that he is still trying to "catch up" and master the language. It could be an auditory processing thing. If you ask him to do 2-3 tasks can he complete them all or does he forget what to do after the first task? I wouldn't be too worried. Have you tried changing his diet? Many of these things have a dietary connection.
In my state (CA) teachers are not allowed to tell parents that a child may have a LD or ADD/ADHD. It makes the district liable for the testing. I hate labeling kids especially with ADD/ADHD. A lot of kids don't fit the school mode. We teachers are expected to 'yammer' at kids and have them take it all in. There is far less use of manipulatives because of the high stakes testing. Kids should be allowed to grow at their own rate. They will succeed, not at the same moment, but they will succeed.
That's just my 2 cents.
Do what you feel is right.
