Elementary school children (N=203) in multiple settings across five years were interviewed and/or surveyed regarding their participation as members of social skills groups and peer network activities with children with autism (N-38). Most children enjoyed the programs, felt they benefited academically and/or socially, and had positive attitudes toward the students with disabilities. (Author/DB)
