This book is dedicated to:

Judy Ann, my wife of 30 yearsL.G.W.

My father Harold and the memory of my beautiful mother Frances AnnetteD.H.S.

My family Tina, Julia, and Adam, for their supportJ.A.H.

The memory of my father-in-law Dr. Richard Matr and of my brother-in-law Frank Ivaldi who both inspired me in their own ways to pursue the professional career path I have takenA.P.

We also wish to dedicate this book to the family of David Wechsler. They have given their unwavering support to our work over the years to update, improve, and revise the WISC. Davids sons Adam and Len, and Adams two children Daniel and Neil, have generously engaged in the many updates and revisions to the scales over the years. They have been especially supportive of moving to the digital format through Q-interactive which we could not have done without their support and encouragement. They have helped make the work of carrying on the legacy of David Wechslers contributions to assessment both a pleasure and honor.
