Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment (TPBA)

Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment (TPBA)

Many parents would ask us for an assessment where their child could have an occupational therapist, physical therapist, and speech language pathologist evaluating at the same time. This is an extremely costly route to take as each individual therapist requires reimbursement for their individual time spent both on the physical evaluation as well as on the profile documentation. We have tried many different ways and then was introduced to the TPBA, which introduced a functional approach to assessing/ working with children 0-6 years of age in a more cost effective way for the families we serve. Toni. W. Linder has done a most amazing work in designing this wonderful, non-threatening play based approach to assessment.
