It is possible (likely even) that if Harry is sent to live with Kingsley he likely would not attend primary school.

Kingsley may or may not have a strong enough working relationship with the muggle world to send Harry to a muggle school. He does misname firearms "firelegs" in OotP. (That may or may not have been intentional, though.) Being a high up Auror he might not want to risk sending The Harry Potter to a school where no one could protect him from magical enemies. But since he is also likely to be too busy to home school Harry for three years, maybe a tutor? You could get really creative in showing how folks do early childhood ed in the wizarding world!
Also, most physical damage appears to be fixable in the HP universe, so if you're looking for a newly formed disability you might want to go with something caused by a spell or potion gone wrong. :)
I am deeply sorry if none of this makes sense. I am on painkillers...
I didn't remember the mistake with firearms! My Kingsley has a very long and developed head cannon which in part has to do with him being the wizard we see most familiar with Muggles. Enough that Uncle Vernon comments on it in DH. In my head cannon I have him as a half blood raised as a Muggle until his Hogwarts letter. In the story he keeps Harry in Muggle school as he is in a Muggle area and is sort of hiding him in plain sight. I see no more risk in it then when Harry went to Muggle school in cannon.
Also, the character in question is a Muggle and I always thought it too convenient if magic worked always for Muggles. So I would probably explain it as potions and healing magic only works properly if it can interact with a persons magic.
