Abstract	This practicum identified an inability of staff to facilitate play among students with diverse abilities in an inclusive preschool setting, and presented staff training projects to improve such facilitative skills. Because the staff lacked knowledge regarding play characteristics, functions, and categories needed to provide necessary interventions and formal play assessment, team-building management techniques were designed to develop a staff in-house training project, providing resources for on-going staff presentations over a period of 8 months. Staff selected their own working committees and topics from a preset list, and at the end of each presentation, offered suggestions for improving facilitation of play skills. After completing the project, the staff were able to identify the knowledge that was lacking, name at least three types of play assessment and use the Smilansky scale to assess play in the classroom, and prepare a position paper on play for use in further staff training and for disbursement among special educators, interns, and parents at the school. (Six appendices include a staff survey form, topics for staff training, session agendas for staff meetings, a position paper on play, and a checklist for play assessment. Contains 108 references.)
