Friendships of Children with Disabilities in the Home Environment.
Geisthardt, Cheryl L.; Brotherson, Mary Jane; Cook, Christine C.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v37 n3 p235-52 Sep 2002
Interviews and home observations examined friendships of 28 children (ages 3-10) with disabilities. Children with the greatest amount of contact with friends had disabilities that were mainly physical, while children with behavior problems and cognitive limitations had the fewest peer interactions. Children living in isolated areas had more limited contact. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
