Severely and profoundly retarded children are usually deficient in play skills. Since play facilitates socialization, language, and motor development, it is a vitally improtant skill to acquire. This pilot study examined the effects of a behavioral training program on the autistic, independent, and social types of play of four severely and profoundly retarded children. The training program involved the use of instructions, modeling, physical guidance, and verbal reinforcement. Results indicated that a marked increase in independent and social play occurred with the introduction of the training program with all four children. Occupational therapists can play an increasingly important role in helping educators formulate relevant educational programs for severely retarded children, particularly in the areas of play and motor skill development.
重度和极重度智力迟钝儿童通常在游戏技能方面存在缺陷。由于游戏有助于社交、语言和运动发展，所以它是一项至关重要且需要习得的技能。这项试点研究考察了一项行为训练计划对四名重度和极重度智力迟钝儿童在独自游戏、自主游戏和社交游戏方面的影响。该训练计划包括使用指令、示范、身体引导和言语强化。结果表明，随着训练计划的引入，所有四名儿童的自主游戏和社交游戏都有显著增加。职业治疗师在帮助教育工作者为重度智力迟钝儿童制定相关教育计划方面可以发挥越来越重要的作用，尤其是在游戏和运动技能发展领域。
