- •
We measured the social communication produced by young preschoolers with ASD during a peer-mediated intervention called Stay Play Talk.
- •
Three typically developing peer buddies intervened with three children with ASD during 20-min sessions across 6–8 weeks.
- •
Initiations varied for children with ASD, but responses increased for all three children, exceeding baseline levels.
- •
Social interactions between children with ASD and peer buddies increased for all three dyads, exceeding baseline levels.
- •
Findings indicate that peer-mediated interventions may be an important supplement to an early intervention regimen.
