Activity Structure and Social Interactions with Peers in Developmentally Integrated Play Groups.

DeKlyen, Michelle; Odom, Samuel L.

Journal of Early Intervention, v13 n4 p342-52 Fall 1989

This study of 20 preschool children with disabilities and 8 normally developing children found that more peer interaction occurred during play activities that were more structured, whereas teacher interaction rates were not related to activity structure ratings. Among children with disabilities, rate of peer interaction correlated positively with mental age and social competence. (Author/JDD)
