Assessment Needs • Need for a flexible process, responsive to
individual needs (Bagnato and Neisworth, 2004)
• Information needed for intervention is not found in numbers and percentile scores (Meisels and Atkins-Burnett 2000)
• Assessment needs to address interests and intentions as well as skills (Greenspan and Meisels, 1996; Cain and Dweck, 1995;
• Assessment and intervention need to inform each other in an ongoing manner (McConnell, 2000)
![Page 3: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problems with traditional tests
• Materials in test kits are presented regardless of experiences, background, or familiarity (Neisworth & Bagnato, 2004)
![Page 4: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Problems with traditional tests
• Advantage goes to the advantaged and the culture of standardization (Hanson & Lynch, 1992)
• Standardized language may present an obstacle (Meisels, 1996)
![Page 5: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problems..
• Traditional tests measure what has been learned, not what can be learned (Butler, 1997)
![Page 6: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problems….
• Isolated assessment of discrete domains, such as “language” or “cognition,” often yields fractional, inadequate, misleading, or incomplete information.
![Page 7: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problem: “Untestable” children
• Bagnato & Neisworth (1994) when child is “untestable”
- 58% parent interviews
- 44% play-based assessment
- 30% observation of natural parent-child interaction
![Page 8: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Problem Summary• “Assessment of infants and preschoolers
remains dominated by restrictive methods and styles that place a premium on inauthentic, contrived developmental tasks, that are administered by various professionals in separate sessions using small, unmotivating toys from boxes or test kits, staged at a table or on the floor in an unnatural setting, observed passively by parents, interpreted by norms based solely on typical children, and used for narrow purposes of classification and eligibility determination” (Bagnato, Neisworth & Munson, 1997, p. 69).
![Page 9: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Changes needed….
• 1) What constitutes an assessment,
• 2) What questions assessment of young children should examine,
• 3) What methods should be used to answer these questions,
![Page 10: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Changes needed…
• 4) Who should be involved in gathering assessment data,
• 5) What the outcomes of an assessment should look like, and,
• 6) How assessment information should be used (Eisert, & Lamorey, 1996; Meisels & Atkins-Burnett, 2000; Meltzer & Reid, 1994).
![Page 11: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Needed…
• Assessment needs to be viewed as a process not just a tool
![Page 12: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Eight critical qualities…• 1) useful, providing a linkage
between assessment results and intervention goals, objectives, and strategies;
• 2) acceptable, providing information that is mutually relevant to professionals and families;
![Page 13: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Eight critical qualities
• 3) authentic, providing information that describes how children function in their natural environments;
• 4) collaborative, involving professionals and parents in a partnership beginning before assessment and through intervention;
![Page 14: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Eight critical qualities
• 7) sensitive, providing incremental developmental sequences and observations that can differentiate small increments of progress;
• 8) congruent, using content, materials, and methods that match the developmental levels and individual differences of children
![Page 15: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Benefits of TPBA - 2
• Dynamic• Functional• Flexible• Sensitive to child and family
differences
![Page 16: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Benefits of TPBA - 2Results in quantitative and qualitative
information related to:• Skill level• Learning style• Interaction patterns• Contexts for development• Intervention objectives and strategies
![Page 17: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Benefits of TPBA - 2• Natural processes such as play result
in less inhibited interactions, and consequently higher levels of communication, more exploration, and increased attention and problem-solving (Meisels & Atkins-Burnett, 2002)
• Play is consistent with interests and needs of young children
![Page 18: Transdisciplinary Play-based Assessment - 2 Toni Linder University of Denver tlinder@du.edu.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649dfe5503460f94ae6457/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
