Actually, I think the KABC-II is probably a better test for kids with slow processing speed, as it doesn't stress speed as much. Numbers reversed is part of working memory, but isn't assessed on the KABC-II, if I recall. Number recall is forwards. The plus is that his strengths won't be as diluted by his weaknesses. The minus is that you do want to make sure his weaknesses are exposed enough to be acknowledged. Since the BRIEF and DK are also under discussion, that would be a good direction to look for exposing working memory vulnerabilities.
So some additional thoughts: did they specify that both the oral and written portions of the OWLS would be administered? Some SLPs use only the O of OWLS, unless specifically asked to give the W. Also, is it the OWLS or the OWLS-II?
