Peer Mediated Interventions: More Than Just Play Skills

This 140-minute recorded webcast will review the peer-mediated interventions that have been shown to be effective in increasing skills in learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Based on a literature review and successful practice in home, clinical and school settings, we will review how to train peers so they are more effective mediators and learn a variety of ways to use peers to facilitate instruction and learning for students with ASD. Participants will review videos demonstrating peer-mediated interventions as well as other techniques that have been effective in clinical and school settings but may not yet have as much supporting research.
