PEER MODEL PROGRAM
The Peer Model Program allows preschoolers without disabilities the opportunity to participate in the early childhood class and to learn through the experiences in the classroom.
By participating in classroom activities, the peer model serves as a role model to the other students by demonstrating appropriate play, communication and social skills.
The purpose of the Peer Model Program is to:
➢ develop age appropriate peer relationships
➢ promote community relationships during early childhood
➢ provide a learning environment rich in diversity
➢ educate children with disabilities with typically developing peers
➢ develop, within the learning environment and learning within the community, the understanding
that all children have strengths and make contributions to their world
➢ provide a literature-rich, language-based environment that supports the development of children with varied strengths and abilities.
