Play Behavior and Communication between Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Their Hearing Peers in an Integrated Preschool.

Minnett, Ann; And Others

American Annals of the Deaf, v139 n4 p420-29 Oct 1994

Sixty preschool children (30 deaf and hard of hearing, 30 hearing) were observed in their integrated school during learning center activities and outdoor play. Half experienced auditory communication and half total communication modes. Although all children preferred to play and communicate with same-hearing status children, 63% did communicate with other-hearing status children. (Author/DB)
