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.

Editorial Reviews

"We are using TPBA to develop our transdisciplinary play-based assessment strategies to be used with young deaf and hard of hearing children. TPBA has proven to be helpful in this initial development stage."

Carrie Thompson-Davenport

"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."

The 18th Mental Measurement Yearbook

"Outstanding works which have been important in the field of early intervention . . . excellent way of illustrating clinical observation from a team perspective."

Stella Fair

"Allows the family to be actively involved in the assessment, calls attention to play behaviors and engagement, and provides rich information that proved useful to intervention planning. TPBA/I are pivotal to providing quality services within the child's natural environment and integrating the child's goals into daily activities and routines."

early interventionist, Institute for Disability Studies, University of Southern Mississippi - Shannon Haley-Mize

"Embedded in child development theory and research, TPBA/I 2 have revolutionized assessment methodologies for preschool age children . . . consistently yields comprehensive, rich data as evidence to develop intervention teaching strategies that address the development of the whole child."

Preschool Consultant, Educational Diagnostician - Margie Larsen

"Using TPBA assessment procedures and strategies has proven to be a useful framework for our professionals to grow into a truly transdisciplinary team."

Psychology, Full Professor, Superior School of Education of Porto; Coordinator, Unit for Promoting Inclusive School - Manuela Sanches Ferreira

"TPBA is an ideal tool for assessment teams."

Early Childhood Special Education Specialist, VDOE Training and Technical Assistance Center, Old Dominion University - Linda D. Ingleson

"Makes the evaluation process a very positive experience for children and families . . . provides the team with an incredible amount of nuanced information for developing integrated, functional goals for intervention."

Program Consultant, North Carolina Office of School Readiness. Adjunct Faculty, University of North Carolina at Charlott - Anne-Marie De Kort-Young

"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."

ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants

"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."

Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities

"What a phenomenal resource!"

Katie Todd
