Assessing the Transition and Adjustment of Preschoolers with Special Needs to an Integrated Program.

Haymes, Linda K.; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v18 n2 p184-98 Spr 1994

Five special needs children were placed in an integrated preschool program as their first preschool/group care experience. A preentry visit was found to be predictive of the children's adjustment to preschool. Some of the children exhibited separation problems, aggression, self-stimulation, loud vocal behavior, and high rates of unoccupied behavior. Adjustment strategies used are noted. (JDD)
