This session examines the impact of peer mentoring in social skills groups for students with IEP goals in social communication. Peer mentors from programs like Teachers for Tomorrow collaborate with professionals (e.g. Speech-Language Pathologists, counselors) enriching interventions and fostering leadership skills. This dynamic approach provides valuable peer feedback, enhancing participant engagement compared to traditional methods. Attendees will gain practical strategies and participate in hands-on activities to optimize learning outcomes for all students involved.
