  • Test of Playfulness (ToP) Training.

    I offer training on the Test of Playfulness (ToP) and Test of Environmental Supportiveness (TOES) that were developed by Professor Anita Bundy.

    The ToP is an observer-rated assessment that measures the playfulness of children aged 6 months to 18 years. The ToP has 29 items and can be used for individual or group play and in indoor or outdoor settings.

    The ToP can be used to understand areas of a child’s play that need support, as well as areas of strength. The ToP can also be used to set intervention goals around play and can be used as an outcome measure pre- and post-intervention.

    I have been trained by and have worked with Prof. Bundy over the last 10 years. I have used the ToP extensively in my clinical practice and research. The training is $730 for a 2 day online workshop.
