Promoting Social Interaction of Children with Disabilities in Integrated Preschools: A Failure to Generalize.

Hundert, Joel; Houghton, Anne

Exceptional Children, v58 n4 p311-20 Feb 1992

This study of 14 children (ages 3-5) with disabilities participating in the Classwide Social Skills Program found that the program increased subjects' positive play and levels of teacher reinforcement, but these increases did not generalize to 3-month or 6-month follow-up periods nor to another play session in the day.
