[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My son was on meds when he took the WISC, so I feel like it's an accurate depiction of his abilities. I wasn't thinking about SOLs when I wrote the original post, but that is something to think about for this year. It's worth it to discuss with his teacher and counselor, at least. Thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies.

And to the PP(s) who think that I'm just DYING to have a 504 or an IEP for the heck of it - really? Are you serious? What I want is for my kid to not have ADHD and all of the associated struggles. They are not minor struggles for him, they are BIG struggles. I have decent perspective on this b/c he's not my only kiddo with special needs, meaning I don't think ADHD is the end of the world, but I also recognize how much of an impact it has on my son and our family. So no, I don't want him to need any special treatment, or get singled out, or get "favoritism", or add in any way to that feeling he has that he's not quite like everyone else....but I can't get that. Instead, I have to try to give him the best chance I can to succeed without becoming a totally frustrated mess. If that means enhancing an already existing 504 plan to give him more help, then I'm all for it. Seems like a pretty minor thing. Sorry, I don't normally get this grumpy, but you've hit a nerve.[/quote]
