Administration Guide for TPBA2 & TPBI2

By Toni Linder, Ed.D., with invited contributors



"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."
—Margie Larsen, M.Ed., Preschool Consultant, Educational Diagnostician

For 15 years, the Transdisciplinary Play-Based System has been one of the most natural, easy-to-use assessment and intervention approaches for children birth to age 6—and now it's been completely revised and updated to help today's programs address their biggest concerns, including accountability and eligibility.

Early childhood professionals will start with TPBA2, a comprehensive guide to assessment with in-depth child development information. While the child engages in natural play with a parent, professionals use the practical guidelines and extensive developmental information to assess four domains—sensorimotor, emotional and social, communication and language, and cognition—and gather qualitative information about what the child can do.

Then, with TBPI2, professionals will partner with parents to choose customized play-based interventions that help children make progress across domains and generalize their new skills in different situations and settings.

New to this edition! The essential new Administration Guide includes a tremendous amount of in-depth guidance on using the new system effectively. Users will get step-by-step guidelines for conducting play sessions, involving parents, working as a team, determining eligibility, writing reports, and linking assessment to play-based intervention activities that foster children's development. All the photocopiable forms needed for the system are included in the guide's convenient appendix.

New to this edition! The new CD-ROM includes all the print forms in a PDF format, plus additional forms and tools for complete planning, tracking, and reporting—including the NEW Percent Delay Calculator for determining eligiblity and the NEW OSEP Calculator that automatically assigns each child an OSEP category.

Why choose TPBA2 and TPBI2

This popular system gets accurate assessment results and improves child outcomes because it's

  • Play-based, so children are relaxed, engaged, and motivated to show the full range of their skills and abilities

  • Child-directed, so it encourages spontaneity and creativity and is easy to use in home-based settings

  • Strengths-focused, assessing what children can do instead of what they can't

  • Parent-friendly, tapping into the invaluable expertise of those who know the children best
