| description | Background
Exploratory object play is a primary strategy in amassing knowledge about one’s environment and determines the develop-ment of language skills at a later age. However, still much remains unknown about how object play is related to visual and language development in children at risk of developmental disorders.
Participants and procedure
Forty-four children at risk of developmental disorders aged 13 to 37 months took part in the study. The measurement of object play relied on observation of children manipulating novel objects. Language skills were assessed by the Mullen Scales.
Results
The results indicate that there is a correlation between specific object play behaviours, language and visual skills.
Conclusions
The findings from this study support the hypothesis that the relationship between visual and language skills and object play in children at risk of developmental disorders is different in younger and older children. |
