Episode 343 - Peer Mediation (DUAL-DIAGNOSIS)

Though the Beatles remind us to get by with a little help from my friends, is there really any hard evidence to back their assertion up? This week we look into the data to determine whether the use of peer behavior and prompting is actually a worthwhile intervention. We explore how peers could support the occurence of social initiations, compliance with teacher instructions, and removal of attention-rich reinforcement. Because that's what friends are for!
