Handicapped Students as Tutors for Nonhandicapped Peers.

Osguthorpe, Russell T.

Academic Therapy, v19 n4 p473-83 Mar 1984

Programs in which handicapped students tutor their nonhandicapped peers can enhance the tutors' academic achievement and personal/social growth. Steps to be considered in developing such programs include determining the type of tutoring (peer, cross-age, adult-child, etc.), choosing a content area, training and supervising the tutors, and measuring the results.
