Abstract

Teachers and speech pathologists have noted that children with Language Impairment (LI) frequently struggle in social interactions when compared with their typical peers. They have difficulty making friends, entering on-going interactions, and are often viewed negatively by others in their own age group. The purpose of this study was to co-vary intelligence in order to eliminate it as a variable that might impact the differences in social behavior between typical and language impaired children.
