Assessment Of Children : Wisc-iv And Wppsi-iii - Supplement - 04 edition

"As a new student of intelligence testing, I found the coverage of the WISC-IV to be extremely helpful. Everything from statistical and conceptual underpinnings to practical uses and limitations is concisely discussed. The abundant checklists and examples really help put the information into context. It reads easily and makes a handy reference for both administration and academic study. I would certainly recommend it to anyone starting out on the WISC-IV who wants to build a strong understanding of the instrument."

- Scott Hoffman, Minnesota State University

"The WISC-IV and WPPSI-III Supplement gives an excellent overview of these new important instruments. It is both comprehensive and readable and upholds the Sattler tradition of excellence. It is thorough and well-written; a must-have reference for students and clinicians in the field of child assessment."

- Dr. Julie Rubin, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio

"The WISC-IV and WPPSI-III Supplement is a lifesaver! Essential for students and professionals."

- Dr. Patti Van Eys, Vanderbilt University

"An excellent merger of both theory and practice."

- Dr. Cynthia Simpson, Sam Houston State University

"The WISC-IV and WPPSI-III Supplement is well written, easy to read, and chock full of helpful administrative and interpretive tips."

- Timothy Lionetti, Marywood University
