A crucial question is whether play differences in children with developmental disabilities stem from a generalized symbolic deficit or a narrow language deficit. 73 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; n=15), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD; n=16), Specific Language Impairment (SLI; n=15), comorbid ADHD/SLI (n=7), or were typically developing (n=20) were evaluated on a 5-minute play sample using the Affect in Play Scale-Preschool Version for comfort, imagination, organization, and elaboration. Play performance in the SOUND condition was evaluated more favorably for the ADHD and typical groups than the SLI, SLI/ADHD and ASD groups. However, play of the SLI and SLI/ADHD groups was comparable to the ADHD and Typical groups in the NO SOUND condition, supporting the idea of a narrowly defined symbolic deficit in the linguistic domain. In contrast, children with ASD appeared to evidence a global, generalized symbolic deficit. 2012-05-22 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1333569361 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1333569361 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
