The behavior has to be measured. dlichtenberger1 https://padlet.com/anjelahtovar/ekoxkrwaqpu/wish/205935804 Observable Behaviors:
    Requesting help, sharing with a peer, completing a specific task, or turning in homework.

    Difficult to define Behaviors:
    Being shy, happy, angry, or social skills.

    2)  The student has positive social interactions with the ASD learner.
    3)  They are compliant with adults.
    4)  They can stay on task at age appropriate amount of time, 15 minutes for younger children, and up to 45 minutes of older students.
    5)  They attend school regularly.
    6)  Their schedule is similar to the student with ASD.
    7)  They are willing to participate.

    Student with these qualifications can make this a positive experience for the student with ASD.

  • To teach peers in ways in which they can talk and interact with children and youth with ASD.
  • To increase the frequency with children and youth with ASD and to interact with typically developing peers.
  • Extend peer's with social initations with students with ASD across activties in the classroom.
  • Minimize the need and support from teachers/adult's.

The following is a breakdown of the different PMII strategies along with the skill it accesses and the appropriate age group to use the strategy with:

    -Peer Modeling: Trains peers to demonstrate target skill to learner with ASD. Skills: Requesting assistance, joining activity, following directions, and greeting. Age appropriate: young children, elementary.

    -Peer Initiation Training: Trains peers on strategies they can use to interact with learners with ASD. Skills: Responding to invitations, maintaining conversations, turn taking. Age appropriate: young children, elementary.

    -Direct Training for Target Student and Peer: Teaches peers and learner with ASD specific target skills simultaneously. Skills: Initiating conversations, perspective taking, accepting 'no'. Age Appropriate: young children, elementary.

    Peer Networks: Peers interact with learner with ASD in a facilitated regular meeting held outside of instructional time. Skills: Joining peer groups, promoting social networks. Age appropriate: Upper elementary, middle school, high school.

    Peer Supports: Peers provide social and academic support to learner with ASD within an inclusive environment. Skills: Academic Skills, Social Skills. Age Appropriate: Upper elementary, middle school, high school.

The manner in which this information is shared should be made age appropriate. 

    FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN:
    -Discuss how they are the same and difference in appearance.
    -What are common likes and dislikes?
    -Strengths and weaknesses.

    FOR OLDER CHILDREN:
    -Goals for intervention.
    -Reason for needed peer involvement.
    -Review what is expected of peers and ASD learners during interactions with the appropriate PMII strategy.

    *These strategies and conversations can be held with direct instruction or through role playing so that the teacher can help the peer understand how to react appropriately in given scenarios.

Educators should look for the following areas when monitoring progress:
    -Assess if the activity was successful.
    -Record specific skills that the learner with ASD is consistently demonstrating.
    -Determine target behaviors that can become the focus of future interventions.
    -Record change across time. 

    Educators can use both anecdotal forms and progress monitoring forms to include all aspects of social, emotional, and academic growth while using PMII.
