Just another thought about working memory; maybe somebody who is more knowledgeable about these tests can fill in the blanks, but our DD was tested on SBV several years ago and got a non-verbal WM subtest score of 10 but a verbal WM score of 18. Her overall WMI ended up at ~120. She was retested this year with WISC-IV and the subtest scores in the WM category were 16 and 17, so her overall WMI was over 130, which in my opinion is a pretty big difference as well. I asked the psychologist about it and she said one of the tests used a verbal measure and the other used a non-verbal (must have been WISC-IV is more verbal? while SB-V includes non-verbal? whatever that means...). Which adds to the continuing questions I have about how these tests purport to measure things. But anyway, especially if you have a 2e-ish kid, it might be worth looking into different tests and asking about what they're actually measuring.
