Keywords:
Peer Intervention, Social Skills, ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Autism, Peer SupportAbstract
In this literature review, the author first explores various types of peer led interventions used to enhance the social skills of pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and the benefits of combining different teaching methods with peer led interventions. Then, while investigating the criteria that must be considered when choosing an appropriate, neuro-typical pupil to participate in the intervention, the author examines the results of such studies and explores the limitations of using peer led interventions to enhance social skills for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Finally, recommendations are offered for teachers who wish to use a peer mediated approach as a strategy to enhance the social skills of pupils with ASD.
