Interactions of Language-Delayed and Normal Preschool Boys with Their Peers.

Siegel, Linda S.; And Others

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, v26 n1 p77-83 Jan 1985

Examines the impact of specific language delay (LD) on peer interaction in preschool children. Interaction between three groups of dyads (normals and normals; normals and LD children; and between LD children) were studied. Normal children were more likely to initiate interaction with non-responsive partners and to dominate the interaction. (Author/AS)
