LASARD Project coordinator Julie D. Riley explains to The Mobility Resource peer interaction's importance to students with autism.
If your son, daughter, or student falls on the autism spectrum, you most likely realize the difficulties peer interaction can bring. For instance a student with autism may use a side entry at school to enter and leave so he or she can avoid large crowds. While such strategies get everyone through the day without incident, the students with autism lose the chances to learn important peer interaction skills.
Louisiana Autism Spectrum and Related Disabilities (LASARD) Project coordinator Julie D. Riley in a recent interview with The Mobility Resource shared why increasing peer interaction opportunities proves crucial to kids with autism.
