Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessments
Friday October 11, 2024 9:05am - 10:35am HST
In this session participants will learn about TPBA2 as an assessment system that can be used as a comprehensive tool for a variety of needs for our youngest learners. Hence, TPBA2, when used to fidelity, is so much more than single measure. Therefore, through learning about all facets of TPBA2, participants will know how to build a deep and rich background description of the child and family; how to utilize that information as a team to plan for an authentic play session experience; how to effectively include the family as part of the observations in the play session; and ultimately how this comprehensive body of evidence leads to effective decisions about eligibility and the IEP.
