About this title

Review

"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."--Shannon Haley-Mize"Early Interventionist, Institute for Disability Studies, University of Southern Mississippi" (04/30/2008)

"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" (04/30/2008)

description of TPBI and new additions/changes and mentions companion TPBA and Administration Guide

"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."
