This small scale study took place in an integrated nursery class in a SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties) school containing children with severe disabilities and children without disabilities. In order to assess the potential for social interaction between all the children, they were asked to select whom they would like to 'play with' and 'sit next to'. The results indicate that, overall, children with SLD choose equally between the two groups whereas the playgroup children tended to choose children from their own group.
