Corbett et al., 2013 9 boys, 3 girls with ASD, and K-12 school peers 8-17 y Pre-test post-test Behavioural strategies and theatrical techniques in a peer-mediated model The investigation of the SENSE Theatre peer- mediated, interactive social skills program corroborates showing improvement in core social deficits in ASD using a short-term, summer camp model that allows the extensive practice of social interactions with peers. Fan et al., 2021 1 boy with ASD 9 y Case study Peer engagement and interaction in summer camps Peer engagement and reciprocal interactions improved following the disclosure protocol and continued to improve on the final day of the camp, which was not observed in the non-disclosure camp.

Hochman et al., 2015 4 boys with ASD and 2 typically developed girls’ peers 15-17 y Multiple baseline designs across participants Peer network strategies on the social engagement Substantial increases in the percentage of intervals containing peer interactions and social engagement across all participants. Krebs., McDaniel., and Neeley, 2010 2 children with ASD and 1 girl, and 3 boys peers at the same ages Multiple probe design across task replicated across participants Peer training intervention on social interactions Data collected indicated that peer training of targeted social interaction behaviours resulted in increased use of target behaviours by participants with ASD. Unexpectedly, results also indicated an increase in social behaviours that had not 49 Year 2023 Global Journal of Medical Research Volume XXIII Issue III Version I ( D ) A © 2023 Global Journals Cooperative, Collaborative, and Related Strategies’ Effect on Learning in Children with Autism
