Play-based assessment & intervention
The Transdisciplinary Play-Based System is one of the most natural, easy-to-use assessment and intervention approaches for children birth to age 6. Trusted for more than 25 years, this popular, highly effective system helps you get accurate assessment results, develop customized play-based intervention plans, identify children’s service needs, and evaluate child progress.
At the heart of the system is a fun and naturalistic play session where children are relaxed and engaged. Focusing on what children can do instead of what they can’t, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies. Assessment data is easily linked to individualized, play-based intervention activities with TPBI2.
