Fivepeers were trained on how to interact with the target participants of the study. This includinginitiation of and responding to initaiations through means of both verbal and nonverbalcommunication acts during free play. This study utilized a case study design with anABAB model revealed that improved rates of social interactions were associated with thepresence of the intervention.
