Research has suggested that youth with severe developmental disabilities (with and without ASD) benefit both academically and socially from inclusive school environments. The primary service delivery approach used for supporting the social, academic, and extracurricular experiences of adolescent students with significant developmental disabilities is individually assigned, one-to-one paraprofessionals and special educators. While this approach can serve an important auxiliary role in supporting these students' experiences, there is a stark absence of empirical evidence for this approach. Peer-mediated interventions have emerged as a promising alternative to one-to-one adult-delivered support models for improving academic and social outcomes for students with severe developmental disabilities. Research is needed that explores and describes the occurrences of social communication behaviors (SCB) that adolescents with severe disabilities exhibit and how their outcomes are influenced by peer-mediated interventions. The present study used data from a randomized control trial (RCT) to systematically: (1) explore and identify SCB occurrences among high school students with significant developmental disabilities with and without ASD; (2) explore and identify the SCB occurrences among high school typically developing students; (3) compare and contrast the SCB occurrences of both groups in relation to different student variables; and (4) investigate the quality of social interactions between typically developing high school students and high school students with DD before and after the implementation of peer-mediated interventions. Study data used direct observation event recording software and narrative recording. Results indicated statistical and clinical support for the peer support condition as compared to other treatment conditions in promoting various types of SCB among students with severe developmental disabilities, specifically those with ASD. A student's disability severity was found to modulate the occurrences general initiations exhibited by them. Little change was detected in social interaction quality attributes among disability groups between treatment conditions. Findings have positive implications for increasing SCB among students with DD who present with ASD. Findings have implications for assessing SCB and increasing social interactions and engagement among adolescents with severe developmental disabilities, specifically ASD, in general education settings.

Originally published in 1996, this book is about the role of peer-helping in alleviating interpersonal difficulties among young people in school settings. It is based on real-life experience on the part of the two editors and their contributors in training and developing peer-counselling services in local schools, in order to strengthen policies on bullying, equal opportunities and related personal issues. Young people’s experience of being actively engaged in helping their peers has a positive effect on self-esteem and heightens a sense of responsibility and citizenship in the young people involved. The book seeks to help teachers, educational psychologists, social workers and others working with young people to appreciate the value of peer counselling and to introduce it into their practice.

Based on the presentations and discussions from a national symposium on family-school links held at the Pennsylvania State University, this volume brings together psychologists, sociologists, educators, and policymakers studying the bidirectional effects between schools and families. This topic -- the links between families and schools, and how these affect children's educational achievement -- encompasses a host of questions, each of key social and educational significance. * How far does parental involvement in schools affect children's experiences and achievement at school? * What explains the great differences between schools, families, and communities in the extent of such involvement? * Are these differences a matter of school practices, or do they reflect much broader social and cultural divisions? * What is the nature of the impact schools have on children and their families? * How can family-school-partnerships be fostered in a way that helps children? The chapter authors consider these questions and related issues, present different perspectives, highlight various aspects of the issues, and suggest widely differing answers. This volume's goal is to provide the reader with current information on what is known about family-school-community links, and to provoke new ways of thinking about these links and their implications for children's education and well-being.
