RCN Goals for 2013-14 will include Peer to Peer Support
Peer to Peer Support Programs:O The purpose of peer to peer support programs is to provide
increased opportunities for students with ASD to access the general education curriculum and general education environments. Peers model typical academic and social behavior in educational environments throughout the school day and provide support for students with ASD to promote independence and socialization. Each RCN should provide support to existing peer to peer support programs and establish a comprehensive peer to peer support program in at least 4 new buildings during the current grant funding year.
