The Peer Relations of Mildly Delayed and Nonhandicapped Preschool Children in Mainstreamed Playgroups.

Guralnick, Michael J.; Groom, Joseph M.

Child Development, v58 n6 p1556-72 Dec 1987

Normally developing and mildly developmentally delayed preschool-age boys were brought together to form playgroups. Videotapes of the groups and peer sociometric ratings indicated that delayed children had a deficit in peer-related social interactions and were seen as less competent and of lower social status by peers.
