The following is a summary of many of the times of the day (T) when intervention can be incorporated and interactions (I) and potential environmental adaptations (P) can be made to support development. The checklist is designed to stimulate ideas when planning with collaborators on the intervention team. As a team, place checkmarks next to the items you want to consider trying. Use the “other” section to record your own ideas. This Checklist may be useful when completing the Collaborative Problem-Solving Worksheet. For more in-depth discussion of these ideas and more, refer to Chapter 2 (p. 9) in TPBI2.
