Abstract
This article reports the findings of a study that explored how a mainstream school and a special school provided social interaction opportunities for two primary-aged children with PMLD (Emma and Harry). Both children attended a special school four days a week and a mainstream school one day a week, with a special school teaching assistant (SSTA) providing support in the mainstream. The findings suggest that the SSTA interacted differently with Emma/Harry depending on which school she was in, and heavily shaped early interactions between Emma/Harry and mainstream children. The findings also suggest that mainstream children quickly developed confidence, evidenced by the emergence of novel (playful and physical) styles of interaction.
