Hill, Catherine A.; Whiteley, John H.

Canadian Journal of Special Education, v2 n2 p199-210 1986

The observational study investigated social interactions and on-task behavior of 20 severely multihandicapped children in a mainstreaming program. In comparison with nonhandicapped students, severely multihandicapped students interacted with teachers and aides more frequently but showed the same degree of on-task behavior. (Author/DB)
