Comprehensive resource

seminal work in the assessment of children. sattler is a great writer, and this book is well-organized and easy to read and understand. though some things in assessment have been updated since the writing of this edition, most things are current and concepts classic. various methods, including structuring interviews and observations, and numerous tests are addressed. chapters on assessing minorities, learning disabilities and other childhood disorders, mental retardation, giftedness, and brain damage are very helpful; and the book includes a fantastic chapter on report writing. the chapter on challenges we face when assessing children is considerate and thought-provoking. wonderful resource for anyone working with children.

Excellent but outdated at this time.

I used this book as the text in a class I taught for graduate students working toward their Master's in Special Education. In the last eight years many tests have been updated and a new perspective on alternative assessment is important to consider. I await the next addition

Powerful, still useful...

I used this as a text in graduate school and I still refer to it on a regular basis in my clinical practice! A must for anyone interested in psychological assessment of children.

A magnificient volume.

Assessment of Children is the most comprehensive treatment of assessment issues in the field, and the field will grow because of it. A goldmine of information!

A classic text.

The Sattler child assessment text is a classic...basic and necessary to all who work with children...It remains, as the earlier editions, clearly written, truly useful to the clinician, and easily read and understood by the student.
