Este trabajo está dirigido al estudio de las estereotipias motoras en varios grupos de niños con y sin dificultades en el desarrollo. El trabajo se concreta en dos estudios: en el primero analizamos si cambios en la situación estimular producen efectos en la presencia de estereotipias en los diferentes grupos y, en el segundo, estudiamos cómo se insertan las estereotipias en la situación de interacción, si interfieren o si, por el contrario, se ajustan a la actividad que están llevando acabo los niños. Nuestros resultados parecen apuntar que, en todos los grupos estudiados, las estereotipias se ven influidas de forma similar cuando se producen cambios en la situación estimular y, además, parece que, también en todos los grupos, las estereotipias pueden convivir con una interacción correcta y ajustada
