These are very nice results, generally. Is there any access or advocacy benefit to re-testing now? If not, I would hold off for a few years.
I personally don't think so, but wasn't sure if I was possibly missing something.
(how are his pencil skills?)
He hates writing. But, when he does write, he has amazing penmanship. If he's asked to write something long it gets worse and worse.
With regard to advocacy, his results do clearly indicate that he is in the MG range in nonverbal areas (VS and FR), which have implications particularly for mathematical thinking.
He loves math. He also seems to be very visual which I never realized. He was evaluated by an OT as part of the school evaluation and was given a "Motor-Free Visual Perceptual Test (MVPT-3)." He scored a 142 which is apparently high (I've been googling and cant find much about that test.)

Did she make instructional or placement recommendations in her report? That might be a good place to start. quote]
Most of her recommendations were for the behavior issues (a whole page worth) since that is what they see him having the biggest issue with.
There were 2 lines for school functioning. DS "will likely need additional small-group individualized attention. He will need access to enriching and stimulating materials and curriculum." At least they were 2 good lines
We have a meeting next week with the Committee for Special Education. With the ADHD diagnosis he should qualify for services and get the smaller classroom. Hopefully that will help with the behavior issues and also get him access to some more advanced math.
Thanks again for your comments. I think I'm going to wait for additional testing.
