Peer Mediated Supports: Annotated Bibliography
Terrell, Misty
National Technical Assistance Center on Transition
Peer mediated supports involve typical peers without disabilities providing assistance to classmates with disabilities. As an intervention peer mediated supports can serve as an alternative to the use of one-on-one paraprofessionals. Peer mediated supports have been identified as a research based practice for promoting academic learning and social relationships in adolescents with developmental disabilities (Carter & Kennedy, 2006). Academic and social skills have been identified as predictors of positive post-school outcomes. Peer mediated supports are a potential intervention that can be used to improve these skills in students with disabilities. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to provide educators with sources that define peer mediated supports and offer suggestions for how to implement peer mediated supports as an intervention for students with disabilities.
