While the trend in best practice issues for young children with disabilities is to place children with their typically developing peers (Leister, Koonce, Nesbit, 1993), it is also known that just placing children with disabilities in the vicinity of their peers does not guarantee interaction (Vaughn, 1985). A young child with developmental disabilities who is placed in a regular preschool setting needs multiple opportunities to learn social interaction skills. Since play is an important part of the daily routine within the preschool setting, it can be used as an opportunity to teach social skills. By incorporating social skills training into play activities, children with disabilities have the opportunity to learn skills such as: turn-taking, perspective-taking, self-help skills, establishing friendships, and learning the basic rules for getting along with others (Cook, Tessier & Klein, 1992; Gottman, 1983).
