REVIEWERS' COMMENTS

“Those unfamiliar with Sattler's previous work will be impressed by the level of detail in this text. Two chapters apply to all assessment practices. Chapter 1 is a superb overview of best practices for evaluators and has several useful resources, including administration checklists, observations to make during testing, and acculturation interviews. Chapter 8 reviews the structure of reports, principles of report writing, and guidelines for writing clearly. The appendices are impressive, including standardization checklists, tables for calculating confidence intervals, tables for statistical significance and base rates for score differences, and conversion tables for short-form composite scores. . . . Administration guidelines and interpretative suggestions are meticulously described, a welcome addition for the recently developed subtests (e.g., Picture Span, Immediate Symbol Translation). There are questions that assist in gathering qualitative information and suggestions for testing the limits, both of which can help practitioners understand complex cases. . . . It is a model of detailed description and interpretation for the WISC–V and WPPSI–IV.”
—Christipher R. Niileksela, PhD, 2017, Communiqué, 45(5), 38

“It is difficult to avoid an abundance of superlatives when discussing Sattler’s most recent contribution to the field of assessment. Assessment of Children: WISC–V and WPPSI–IV meets and exceeds the high expectations that previous editions have consistently met. This iconic work, already indispensable in the field, only gets better with the addition of Dumont and Coalson’s contributions. Importantly, this newest edition retains the reliable, familiar format of its predecessors while recognizing the myriad, emerging advances in the field of contemporary practice. I could neither practice nor teach without it! For over twenty years, I have had a copy of Sattler on my desk…never more than an arm’s reach away! Students and fellow practitioners have been anxiously awaiting its release. 
    The following incident says it all: When one of my interns was asked administer the new WISC–V, her first question was “Where’s the Sattler book?” Actions speak louder than words. For me, assessment without an accompanying Sattler text is like going down a dark path without a flashlight.”
