Handicapped Children as Tutors. Final Report (1985-86).
Osguthorpe, Russell T.; And Others
This final report presents eight papers resulting from research conducted during the third and final year of the "Handicapped Children as Tutors" project, which investigated effects of involving handicapped students as tutors of disabled and non-disabled elementary and secondary school students. Results of all the research showed significant positive effects of the tutoring experience on the academic achievement and social competence of tutors and tutees. Qualitative differences between cross-age tutoring and peer tutoring were observed. The titles and authors are: (1) "Handicapped Students as Tutors: A Description and Integration of Three Years of Research" (W. D. Eiserman et al.; (2) "The Effects of Reverse-Role Tutoring on the Social Acceptance of Behaviorally Disordered Students" (L.
