Peer Tutoring in Special Education: Effects on the Academic Achievement of Secondary Students with Mild Handicaps.

Montague, Peggy; And Others

B. C. Journal of Special Education, v15 n1 p47-63 1991

This review concludes that peer tutoring is a very powerful intervention for special education because it increases students' opportunities to respond, reduces teacher-pupil ratio, individualizes instruction, improves students' social skills, and increases students' academic achievement as well as aiding in the integration of disabled students into the regular classroom.
