DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING & ASSESSMENT
PLAY-BASED ASSESSMENT & INTERVENTION The Transdisciplinary Play-Based System
BESTSELLER!
By Toni Linder, Ed.D. Choose TPBA2 and TPBI2, and you’ll see how much better assessment and intervention can be when they’re based on what children naturally love: play! Aligned with DEC and NAEYC guidelines, this bestselling, highly effective system engages and relaxes kids with child-directed play activities during assessment, so they’re motivated to show what they can do. Then it explicitly links assessment results with customized play-based interventions embedded in daily home and school routines. The interventions keep parents involved, build on the child’s natural interests, and help them generalize their new skills, so families see sustained progress across all settings.

Better assessments through the power of play. During a fun and
naturalistic play session, professionals assess development in 4 key areas while the child plays with family members and a team play facilitator. Because children stay relaxed and engaged, focusing on what they can do instead of what they can’t, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies.

Positive, playful interventions that improve real-world skills. After
the play session results are reviewed, it’s easy to link TPBA2’s assessment data to individualized, play-based intervention activities. TPBI2 shows you how to partner with parents to tailor a unique program of activities that work with their child’s strengths, interests, and learning processes. Interventions fit right into the family’s daily routines.
