Peer-Related Communicative Competence of Preschool Children: Developmental and Adaptive Characteristics.
Guarlnick, Michael J.; Paul-Brown, Diane
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n4 p930-43 Dec 1989
Analyses of communicative exchanges among 64 playgroup children revealed that both 3-and 4-year-old nonhandicapped children adjusted the communicative function, style, and affective quality of their interactions when addressing mildly developmentally delayed companions. Adjustments were more closely related to interpersonal and social status factors than to children's developmental levels. (JDD)
