Effects of Symbolic Play Intervention with Children Who Have Mental Retardation.

Kim, Young Tae; And Others

Mental Retardation, v27 n3 p159-65 Jun 1989

An experimental, intervention group of 4 children with moderate mental retardation received 10 therapy sessions focused on symbolic play development. Compared to a nonintervention group, the experimental children, aged 5-10, demonstrated increased amounts of symbolic play as well as higher levels of symbolism in their play behavior. (Author/JDD)
