We examined the use of an intervention package consisting of the system of least prompts (SLP), visual schedules, peer models, and contingent reinforcement to teach four children with disabilities to independently play board games and communicate with their typically developing peers. We found the intervention package with individual adaptations was related to increases in independent board game play behaviors. No changes in peer-directed social communication were observed. Our study extends the research on board game play-focused interventions by demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention package for young children with or at risk for disabilities and their typically developing peers.
