Introduction START Grant Evidenced Based Practices Peer-to-peer support

Description Peers model typical academic and social behavior in educational environments throughout the school day and provide support for students with ASD to promote independence and socialization. Peers, in return, gain increased skills in organization, responsibility, problem solving, decision- making, and accountability (Carter, Cushing & Kennedy, 2009).

Why? Educational programming for students with ASD should include goals for improving social competency with both adults and peers (National Research Council, 2001) and peer-mediated interventions are well-documented as an evidence-based practice for students with ASD (National Standards Project, 2010). Peer to peer support allows students with ASD to have regular access to the general education environment and curriculum through peer modeling and mentoring, which leads to greater academic and social success across their school day. Peer to Peer support programs can also impact a number of outcomes for typical peers. Several studies have described benefits for students without disabilities who serve as peer supports such as improvements in academic competence, increased awareness and greater understanding of disabilities, and the development of new skills (Carter, Cushing, & Kennedy, 2009.)

The state of Michigan is fortunate to have a comprehensive, well-formulated peer to peer support model, called the LINKS Peer to Peer program, which has been implemented, promoted, and supported by educators, parents, and students for many years. The purpose of peer to peer support programs is to provide increased opportunities for students with ASD to access the general education curriculum and general education students.
