Welcome!

Project Play is a research project at Northeastern University. Project Play will develop the Professional Version of the Developmental Play Assessment (DPA-P). The DPA-P can tell us about how a child plays. Professionals can then use the information to choose play goals for the child.

Want to get involved? We need:

1. Massachusetts Families
   • Parent/caregiver and his/her child between 8 and 60 months of age
   • The parent/caregiver and his/her child will play with toys as part of the DPA-P
2. Directors of Massachusetts early childhood centers
   • Early childhood centers can be early intervention centers, preschools, or child care centers
   • Center directors will help recruit families
