Peer inclusion            communication prompts poster

Research has found that peer mediated intervention is one of the most effective approaches for supporting the inclusion of students and developing social skills at school.

Peer mediated intervention involves teaching peers how to communicate, include and interact with students who may need support with communication or participation.

This poster can act as a visual reminder of peer inclusion steps for students who have been trained as peer mediators in inclusion. This approach is most suited to late primary and secondary settings.
