This strategy involves training an entire classroom of children on some social skill behaviors and techniques in hopes of promoting supportive behaviors among all of the students in a group with one or more children with ASD. This option can be useful when teachers have limited additional personnel, but would like to provide encouragement for the social growth of a student with ASD. This session helps a group of peers to form a social “network” to provide support for children with ASD in their classroom. Children may learn things such as the communication system used by the child with ASD, how to initiate and maintain conversations, and how to help provide instructions.
