Increasing Pretend Toy Play of Toddlers with Disabilities in an Inclusive Setting
DiCarlo, Cynthia F.; Reid, Dennis H.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v37 n2 p197 Sum 2004
We evaluated a program for increasing pretend toy play of 2-year-old children with disabilities in an inclusive classroom. Classroom personnel implemented the program, which involved choices of classroom centers containing toys that tend to occasion pretend play in toddlers without disabilities, along with prompting and praise. Increases occurred in independent pretend-play rates among all 5 participating toddlers. Results are discussed regarding the importance of promoting toy play of very young children with disabilities that is similar to the type of play of their nondisabled peers, and the need to identify critical program components that are applicable in inclusive settings.
