Assessment of Play Skills in Early Intervention

Assessment of Play Skills in Early Intervention

Understanding the connection between play and language development is essential for early intervention SLPs. In this course, Janine Benner, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, explores play developmental milestones and effective, culturally responsive methods for assessing play skills. She will discuss the importance of using strength-based, criterion-referenced checklists and standardized tools to evaluate play while emphasizing the role of parent-child observations in assessments. You'll learn strategies for preparing for evaluations, including setting up the environment and frontloading parents. The course also covers strength-based report writing, developing neurodiverse-affirming and culturally appropriate goals, and providing meaningful recommendations for parents. With real-world case examples and practical resources, this session will equip you with the tools to assess and support play in early intervention confidently.
