• practical guidelines on how to conduct every part of the observation and gather qualitative information about the child's skills
• the clearest research-based explanations of birth-to-six child development
• detailed age tables (expanded and updated for this edition) that show what typical development looks like month by month and enable identification of child skill levels for quantitative data documentation
• vivid examples that illustrate key behaviors and challenges in assessment
• new tools and process guidelines for obtaining information from parents

The thoroughly updated second edition of TPBA2 features
