The purpose of the present study was to investigate the extent to which handicapped and nonhandicapped children interacted with other children and adults during four classroom activities: free play, fine motor, circle, and snack. Six handicapped and six nonhandicapped children participated. Observations were made using a time sampling technique, and information was obtained on whether or not a child was interacting and the nature of the interaction. Results revealed that the only noticeable differences between the two groups were observed during free play activities.
