“This book contains all the steps and lesson plans needed to implement PEERspective in your school.

The dually beneficial model is an asset both to students with high-functioning autism and to their peer

coaches. The author’s years of experience in the classroom have led to tried-and-true outcomes that can

be achieved by anyone with a passion to help students improve and generalize social skills for successful

participation in school, the community, and life beyond high school. Utilizing 21 evidence-based

practices and authentic exposure through typical high school activities such as trips to the mall, school

dances, football games and movie theaters, PEERspective allows students to come together both in and

out of the school environment for additional opportunities to practice skills learned in the class and

apply them to real-life.”
