Counting Ability of Moderately and Mildly Handicapped Children.

Baroody, Arthur J.

Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v21 n4 p289-300 Dec 1986

The study examined basic counting competencies, difficulties, skill progressions, and variation among 36 moderately retarded and 64 mildly retarded students (ages 5-14). Quantitative and qualitative analyses indicated deficiencies in basic counting competencies and systematic oral- and object-counting errors. Striking individual differences in ability were noted, even within "homogeneous" groups. (Author/JW)
