This book offers students and professionals practical information for developing and improving the quality of early childhood special education. It contains a wealth of knowledge and experiences from people involved in leadership and program administration. Several chapters also provide specific suggestions for setting up a family and child friendly system for evaluating young children. The revised edition focuses on implementation rather than establishment of early childhood education systems. This edition also notes changes in the field since the original book was published.

A great resource for effective and affordable professional development, ""Observing Kassandra"" lets current and future early childhood professionals simulate a TPBA2 session with a preschooler who has severe disabilities and health impairments. In this work, professionals will get: a 50-minute DVD of an actual recorded play session to help them practice their observational and note-taking skills; a tablet of blank TPBA2 forms to fill out after viewing Kassandra's play session; and, a helpful workbook with commentary on the session and filled-in TPBA2 and TPBI2 forms that shows professionals what successful assessment and intervention looks like. Ideal for in-service professionals who want to sharpen their skills or for future practitioners without access to children in real classrooms, this professional development system gives viewers the practice and experience they need to effectively use the Transdisciplinary Play-Based System.
