Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, v11 n2 p83-89 Jun 2001

Four toddlers with Down syndrome (ages 10-30 months) were presented with six nonreactive and reactive toys for 90 sessions of free play. When the toys were nonreactive, the subjects vocalized to express their disappointment or to seek assistance from the adults in the room. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
