Product Description:

School participation is essential to students' social, emotional, and academic development. Research indicates that students on the autism spectrum experience significant school participation restrictions and are more likely to experience bullying, feel more isolated, and have less social support. Peer-to-peer is an evidenced-based practice that links general education peers with students who have disabilities to support these students throughout the school day.
