Guralnick, Michael J.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v99 n5 p457-76 Mar 1995
Interviews with mothers of preschool age children with established disabilities (n=230) and those classified as at-risk (n=32) were conducted, focusing on issues of children's peer relations and friendships. Mothers of children in both integrated and specialized settings perceived their respective settings as facilitating social development. Both groups of mothers were concerned about peer rejection.
