Use of Peers as Change Agents in Communicative Interactions with Preschoolers with Disabilities.
Goldstein, Howard; And Others
Preventing School Failure, v39 n4 p16-20 Sum 1995
A peer intervention program to improve communicative interaction and social integration of preschoolers with moderate developmental disabilities is described. Children without disabilities are taught facilitative strategies which are not particularly intrusive and do not obligate responses by the disabled child. The facilitative strategies capitalize on interaction skills common to the communication and play repertoires of typical preschoolers. (DB)
