Abstract
This study examined the effect of visual status (visually impaired or sight ed) and setting (indoor or outdoor) on the social behaviors of preschool-ag e children in an inclusive setting. It found that regardless of their visua l status, the children spent significantly more time near sighted children than near visually impaired children.
