The assessment involves a team of professionals, including educators, therapists, and specialists, working together to observe and evaluate key areas such as cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skills. This collaborative method ensures a well-rounded understanding of the child's strengths and needs.
TPBA2 emphasizes play as the primary medium for assessment, making it engaging and less intimidating for children. It provides guidelines for planning and implementing interventions tailored to each child's unique profile.
