Description
Transdisciplinary Play-Based System (Assessment & Intervention)
Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment, Second Edition (TPBA2) is a comprehensive, easy-to-follow process for assessing four critical developmental domains—sensorimotor, emotional and social, communication, and cognitive—through observation of the child's play with family members, peers, and professionals. In this volume, early childhood professionals will get
- step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for a successful assessment
- practical guidelines on how to conduct every part of the observation and gather qualitative information about the child's skills
- the clearest research-based explanations of birth-to-six child development
- detailed age tables (expanded and updated for this edition) that show what typical development looks like month by month and enable identification of child skill levels for quantitative data documentation
- vivid examples that illustrate key behaviors and challenges in assessment
- new tools and process guidelines for obtaining information from parents
The thoroughly updated second edition of TPBA2 features
- Strong foundation in DEC and NAEYC guidelines
- OSEP child outcomes crosswalk
- Expanded content on critical topics such as literacy, vision, hearing, and daily living skills
- Explicit links between assessment and intervention
With TPBA2, professionals will find it even easier to conduct accurate observations, address child and family needs, and use assessment information to inform intervention.

Reviews
Review: The 18th Mental Measurement Yearbook
"Few other assessment and intervention programs can offer as extensive and converging perspectives as does the TPBA2 and TPBI2. The TPBA2 is strongly recommended for early childhood intervention assessments."
Review: Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities
"The ability to collaborate with other professionals, facilitate the involvement and empowerment of families in assessment and intervention, and provide services in natural settings are skills that are keys to success in practice . . . the transdisciplinary system described in the TPBA2 and TPBI2 is one that readily promotes these skills."
Review by: Katie Todd, Coordinator of Special Education/School Psychologist, Thermalito Union School District, Oroville, CA
"What a phenomenal resource!"
Review: ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants
"Emphasizes observing the child through the lenses of many domains to determine appropriate interventions...an excellent resource for physical therapy professionals who routinely perform early-intervention assessments as part of an interdisciplinary team, as well as for faculty and researchers."
Review by: Carrie Thompson-Davenport, Center for Outreach Services, Early Childhood Outreach Consultant, Ohio School for the Deaf
