POKIT - Play Observation Kit
POKIT or 'The Play Observation Kit' is
a developmental assessment that provides a systematic framework for observing
a child's spontaneous play in interaction with a parent or other caregiver.
It is based on objectively described play behaviours derived from extensive
research on normally developing children.
POKIT is intended for assessing children when problems in development
have been identified but the nature of their difficulties needs further
investigation. It is suitable for children who are between 12 and 48 months
- or who are developmentally within this range.
The product is supplied on an easy to install CD-ROM disk that contains
all the information that is needed to use the assessment including the
forms and checklists. A printed version of the Manual is also supplied
(200pp, A4, wire bound).
The author is Kay Mogford-Bevan a developmental psychologist and speech
and language therapist with many years experience in observing play and
communication in young children. POKIT has been developed over many years
and is based on her research with normally developing children and children
with developmental disabilities. Learn
