Abstract

Our research was conducted within a larger project designed to facilitate language and social skills in children with SLI. Fifty-six subjects between the ages of 6 and 11 participated in this project. Eight of these subjects were children with SLI, and the remaining forty-eight were typically developing. Each of the children with SLI was paired with two typically developing peers of the same gender to form a triad of children. Each triad worked on four different cooperative tasks.
