Review
Using TPBA assessment procedures and strategies has proven to be a useful framework for our professionals to grow into a truly transdisciplinary team. --Manuela Sanches Ferreira, Ph.D., Psychology, Full Professor, Superior School of Education of Porto; Coordinator, Unit for Promoting Inclusive School
Makes the evaluation process a very positive experience for children and families . . . provides the team with an incredible amount of nuanced information for developing integrated, functional goals for intervention. --Anne-Marie De Kort-Young, Program Consultant, North Carolina Office of School Readiness. Adjunct Faculty, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
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
