Dyadic Peer Interactions of Mildly Delayed and Nonhandicapped Preschool Children.

Guralnick, Michael J.; Groom, Joseph M.

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v92 n2 p178-93 Sep 1987

Mildly developmentally delayed 3- and 4-year-old children (N=16) were paired with nonhandicapped younger or older children to evaluate effects of companion status on social and play behavior. The subjects' peer interactions improved substantially only when paired with nonhandicapped older children. (Author/DB)
