An intervention to help children build relationships with their peers
What is it about?
Some preschool children experience isolation from their peers. We examine the feasibility of implementing an intervention designed to help isolated children build connections with peers in their classrooms. Our intervention focuses on teaching two children to use strategies to engage with a target child.
Why is it important?
Few interventions have focused on teaching preschool-age peers to use strategies to engage with a typically developing, socially isolated classmate. Our intervention shows promise for improving the peer experiences of socially isolated children.
