Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in social behaviors of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and typically developing children. Children with SLI are known to be more withdrawn in structured social situations. However, to date, there has not been substantial research on the differences in behavior between these two populations in an unstructured environment such as the playground.
