Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Psychology.
Play is a key arena for the development of children’s cognitive, problem solving, motor, social, linguistic, and emotional skills. The observation of independent play in children with ADHD, ASD, and SLI provides a window into the developmental and play deficits that these children exhibit. Parents have a unique opportunity to enhance their children’s cognitive development in the nonthreatening arena of play. This study examined differences in independent and parent-child play of children who are typical and developmentally disabled. Comparison was made on five-minute samples of parent-child play and independent child play using APS-P and the PCPS. A difference between independent and parent-child play was obtained. Parent negative temperament differed across diagnostic group, with parents of children in the SLI+ADHD group being more directive than other parents. Parent temperament and ASD group membership predicted play quality during independent play. Findings highlight the impact of parent factors on child play.
