"Developmental Play Assessment for Practitioners (DPA-P) Guidebook and Training Website: Project Play offers a comprehensive assessment of naturally occurring play activities for evaluating young childrens developmental progress accurately, so that useful interventions can take place as early as possible. It can be used by practitioners in a wide range of educational and therapeutic settings and is designed to support developmental progress through planning interventions in play, and using what we know about a childs progress in play to plan play-based interventions in cognition, language, motor, social-emotional and self-help skills. The Guidebook and Training Website provide a comprehensive introduction to how to successfully use the assessment with infants, toddlers and young children with disabilities or at risk for disabilities. The comprehensive Guidebook offers an overview of the DPA-P and Project Play, defines play, the background literature on play, and explains why this assessment is needed. Clear guidance helps practitioners and family members understand play, how to evaluate play, and how to use play for different purposes. The Guidebook offers: An introduction to the comprehensive training website and how to use it Understanding of the categories of play assessed and their definitions Guidance on how to administer the assessment and prepare a summary evaluation of a childs performance Clear instructions for the coding sheets and scoring Guidelines for constructing sets of toys Guidance on taking the results of the DPA-P evaluation of a childs progress in play to develop a plan of activities for intervention Explanation of how you evaluate activities at the absence, emergence, and mastery level for developing a plan Suggestions for assembling sets of toys for intervention, based on toys available in childrens homes and early childhood settings Procedures for facilitating or teaching play activities to children who are developing more slowly than their peers. To make the DPA-P as flexible as possible for all practitioners, it also offers guidance on adaptations for administering the test; in the coding sheets; with toys to enhance cultural appropriateness for gathering the observations; and for supporting interventions in play. The Developmental Play Assessment for Practitioners (DPA-P) can be used in natural settings and takes 30 minutes to complete. It is a valuable tool for all those who serve, or are training to serve, young children in early childhood settings, schools, service agencies, colleges and universities. It will be of great benefit for early intervention personnel, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and school psychologists"--
