Abstract
Abstract The aims of the study were to develop a reliable assessment of representational play suitable for use in children with severe and profound mental handicap and to evaluate the association between representational play and language development in such children. Ten children in the severe and profound ranges of mental handicap were assessed using videotape recordings during a session of free play with a standard set of toys followed by a session of play in which a facilitator encouraged representational play.
