Peer Mediated Instruction for Middle School Students with Autism
October 24, 2019 | 3:000 – 4:00 pm | Neville Scarfe Room 308A
Peer-mediated instruction (PMI) is an evidence-based practice that involves supporting typically developing peers to interact with learners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within natural environments. This session will provide an overview of PMI research, followed by a description of a PMI research study conducted in a middle school. The study employed a low-intensity instructional package with classmates of three students with ASD. The results will be discussed in terms of advantages, disadvantages, and limitations.
Thea Brain is the Director of Early Autism Project.
