The Effects of Fifth Graders' Socially Directed Behavior on Motor and Social Responses of Children with Severe Multiple Handicaps.

Brady, Michael P.; And Others

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v12 n1 p1-16 1991

Two boys (ages 6 and 15) with severe, multiple handicaps participated in social play activities with 10 nonhandicapped fifth graders, who had been trained on interaction with socially withdrawn children. Increases in all participants' socially directed behavior were observed. Both boys with handicaps increased targeted motor responses when interacting with the fifth graders. (Author/JDD)
