Rafferty, Yvonne; Piscitelli, Vincenza; Boettcher, Caroline
Exceptional Children, v69 n4 p467-79 Sum 2003
A study compared language development and social competence among 96 preschool children with disabilities in inclusive and segregated classes. Pretest ability was the strongest predictor of progress. Subjects in inclusive classes had higher posttest scores in language development and social skills, but more behavior problems, than peers in segregated classes. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
