McWilliam, R. A.; Bailey, Donald B., Jr.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v15 n2 p123-47 Sum 1995
The effects of disability, age grouping, and adult involvement on interactions of preschool children with disabilities (n=16) and children without disabilities (n=32) were studied in sessions of free play or adult involvement. Children with disabilities spent more time passively nonengaged. Even when controlling for developmental age, intergroup differences in engagement occurred. (SW)
