4.0 out of 5 stars School Psychologist's Bible, February 21, 2005

By 

Mellie "Mellie" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assessment of Children: Cognitive Applications, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

A phenomenal book that gives a good overview of each of the main tests used by school psychologists, and has many tables and lists that help with report writing. There's also a section that highlights good/bad reports and the reasons why. When I was a student this was a necessary tool. As a first year school psychologist I still refer to it. Beware that there is a supplement that now goes with it as this book came out before the WISC-IV. Hence, you may want to check to see if Sattler is bringing out a new book in the near future and hold off for that to avoid having to buy both the book and the supplement. That's why I gave only 4 stars. It's expensive but well worth the money.

This review is from: Assessment of Children: Cognitive Applications, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

This book is essential for those who are studying to be, working as or working closely with school psychologists. The only thing lacking in Sattler's publication is a more thorough coverage of the Woodcock-Johnson assessments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graduate Student's Opinion, April 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Assessment of Children: Cognitive Applications, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

Sattler's work is a wonderful tool that has helped me better understand assessment. There are wonderful charts and worksheets that make interpretation of results much easier. I recommend the purchase of this book to anyone involved with the assessment of children. I especially recommend this to any school psychology major.
